Product Description
Tone, playability, reliability and quality are what you look for in a good instrument. Why not demand these features from your strings? Ernie Ball strings are made from the finest materials so you get quality and consistency in every set. The specially tempered high carbon steel core wire's hexagonal shape ensures the wrap wire is securely held in place through the length of the string. Precision crafted Swiss brass ball ends are attached with a triple lock twist. Ernie Ball is the pioneer of Rock and Roll guitar strings. Since setting the industry standard for electric guitar strings, the list of Slinky users has grown to include the likes of Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai and Slash. If you like tone, you'll like Slinkys! Gauges: .011; .014; .018p; .028; .038; .048

I've been playing the guitar for 20 years, and I've tried a lot of different strings. Across all of the different options that are available, I'm convinced that there are really two variables that control 95% of the sound:
1) String gauge. Suck it up and buy the 11's. You will *not* get the tone that heavy strings deliver with pedals, rack effects, or other widgets. Yes, you fingers will hurt if you've been playing .009's. No, you will not regret it once you get used to it.
2) String age. Change your strings when they start to sound bad. It's a pain, but even good technique and heavy strings can't make up for crusty, stretched-out, worn-out strings. Changing before every show is excessive. Use your ears; when the sparkle and crispness of new strings is gone, and the sound bothers you, then change your strings.
That being said, I use Ernie Ball Slinkys pretty much exclusively these days. They're reasonably cheap, sound great, and are found in pretty much any guitar shop anywhere in the world. What else could you ask for? Five stars!

I love these strings- they really helped me achieve a fuller, more resonant tone when I put them on! I cannot think of a better way to improve your sound for the price.

The purple ones. Strings break and there are reasons for that if you look at how you set up your guitar. Did you stretch the strings? Is the action set up well? Did you take your time to string the guitar the right way? If you use some guitar common sense and ask a pro what you need to know, then these strings will work for you. Excellent tone, feel great, and have great sustain. If you cannot find these strings, then the super slinkys are a good second choice.

They're cheap... And they sound good. I'd prefer these strings just for the price. Sounds good for all sorts of styles. Rock, metal, jazz. Sounds great to me. =)

The strings are great! All Ernie Ball strings are great and I do use pretty much all they have in stock depending on the genre of music I am playing or the sound I am looking for.
As for the person stating they oxidize quickly, well I don't think they do any more so then any other set of strings. If you clean them, and clean them right then you will have no issue. As well as keep them oiled. Besides, a true musician doesn't use strings for more then one show and these are cheap enough to where you can use a new set for each show. As for others who I have heard who say new string loose tuning quickly and need to be worked in, well they just don't know how to properly string a guitar.
Ernie Ball strings are good strings for a great price.
