    My First Replacement Electric Guitar Strings

    My pre-owned electric guitar arrived with a missing string so I needed a set of new strings right away. I studied the various types of strings and their ratings from light to heavy. Being a new player I decided on the light rated strings and I felt that this company presented theirs in an understandable way. So I bought theirs. My grandson volunteered to install them and once finished he played them for me and, wow, they sounded great.

    Well it was worth a try...

    I'm a long time Ernie Ball Super Slinky guitar strings user and felt like trying a different type of strings. Have to say I really disliked the Extra Slinky, to the point of taking them off after less than an hour of playing. They sound flat and have very little resonance. Back to Super Slinky for me.

    The light weight Of these strings provide easy bends and great playability

    Ernie Ball has always been a high quality guitar string. Used by beginners, every day pickers, and professional musicians. They provide great sound and a great feel when played on a cheap guitar, or high dollar instrument. I’m no professional guitarist , but I do know The Ernie Ball Slinky series string should be your number one choice when looking for a great all around string. There on all my guitars. And let me tell you, they really make my Strat talk like SRV s # 1

    My go to set

    Been using these strings since the 80s. As one famous player put it, I just don't want to work that hard. These strings are way easier to bend and manhandle than heavier sets. Great twang and harmonics. My only negative is that after fours hours rocking and sweating a club gig the fat strings lose some of that twang. Worth it in my book. Highly recommended for beginners who haven't built up their callouses, and for old timers with chronic soreness in their fingers and elbows. You'll be able to play longer, get better and have more fun!

    Best gauge for soloing

    Great solos can be achieved by using extra lite gauge ernie ball guitar strings tuned to Eb like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn (Though they used multi-gauge mixing in medium & heavy gauges), I find it like playing on silk, very easy on the fingers, and I can fly like a Lear Jet.
