Not for everyone

I like these strings because they are a bit heavier than most of the Ernie Ball "Slinky" series. I think they're great for playing rhythm guitar. They have a little more solid feel and tend to stay in tune a little better than the lighter "Slinky" strings. Gives a little more feeling similar to playing on an acoustic guitar, if that's what you're looking for. Not great for doing big bends, but still OK for 1/2 step bends and slides.Read full review...

Really good strings...Great value

I am a professional musician...I am 56 years old and have been playing on Ernie Ball strings since i was 12...You cannot get a better set of strings for the money... Performance after performance they deliver the sound...Are there better strings? Certainly Elixir but you will pay 3X as much...Working musicians like myself have come to depend on this product to make a living but not compromise on sound quality.Read full review...

Power Slinky for bigger tone

Best string gauge for jazz and blues based rock on a Maple neck and 50,s single coil pick up.....might want to go to the next size bigger on the E 1st and B 2nd. Dont forget to tune down a whole step....and if you want to tune like Jimi bring the step up just a little to use the wang so you end up back a whole step down....that is why you see him constantly tuning back up after using the tremelo arm on a song...so he would try not to go past a whole step down...Jimi used south polarity pick ups so his tone was a little less focused...you can even see him tuning during a song...bigger strings, = bigger tone on a Maple neck....try it.Read full review...

Hard to beat the classic, for this price!

I have used EB strings for many years. Lately I have been experimenting with different brands and guages. I really like the all nickel strings, but these are very close with just a little more high end bite for those dark sounding guitars. For 11's these strings are not as stiff as you might expect. Not much more tension than the all nickle. All nickle strings have a little less tension than steel.
These sound great on Gibson les paul with p90s and my Gibson sg. Read full review...

Balls are Best!

I have used EBs since the 60s always a good product. Thought after turning 70 last April, I thought I would take a run at Doom Metal (seemed appropriate) Needed strings for down tuning.As in past years Ernie came through. Couldn't be happier.Read full review...

Best lead strings ever!

I’ve used Ernie Ball string for almost 15 years and use the Power Slinky strings on all my Teles and Strats. Can’t beat the sound, playability, and longevity of these strings...no matter what kind of abuse you put them through. Highly recommend these to anyone looking a great blend of output and playability!Read full review...

ernie ball strings as good as usual.

I know when it comes to guitar strings, brand preference is strong with people. some people will claim this string is better than that. I have been using power slinkys for years and will keep using them. they last a good while and sound good. Read full review...

Ernie Ball strings " Great Product"

I have been playing Ernie Ball 11 gauge strings for several years now and they hold up very well and sound really good. I have broke very few strings over the years. I won't buy anything other than Ernie Ball Strings!Read full review...

Firm and Loud

I replaced the original 10s that came on my squier mini for these and the tension is so much better. Had to readjust everything but it was totally worth it. The tight, loud sound sounds great and it works much better with the shorter scale lengthRead full review...
