2226 : Better than expected!

I think Ernie Ball 2226 Burly Slinky is an excellent choice for standard D / Drop C tunings and allows you to play very comfortably at all registers. Although Ernie Ball 2226 is not a coated string set and not so pricey, I was pretty surprised how it has been holding the initial spark and not getting rusty right after I started playing (especially on the top strings). It’s a very popular guitar string set that has received 4.8/5 out of 185 user reviews and ranked in 14th position among hundreds of competitor models and brands in the 11 gauge string category! I believe this tells a lot about how confidently this product is standing out. Happy to purchase this and can confidently recommend anyone who is after an affordable yet durable one with superb playability for standard D and drop C tunings!
