Ernie Ball 2214 Mammoth Slinky .012-.062 4-stars Reviews

Standard Ernie ball quality

Classic Ernie ball strings - it's similar to buying a 7string set and throwing the skinny string out.

I am not really a big fan of them apart from very low tuning - and in that case I prefer to use a 7string instead.

Might works well on baritone guitars, but gets a little muddy with lower tuning on standard scale.

Check the nut before buying!

Overall, this set is perfect for low tunings. I used it on my brand new LTD H3-1000 See Thru Purple and found out that the strings did their job perfectly on drop B tuning. It's a bit too big for drop B imo, the strings feel too tight but they do the job perfectly.

But after a few weeks, little by little I started feeling like something was off. After investigating the issue, I realized that the first two low strings (.62 and .44) were too big for the nut and they were standing higher on the fretboard than they should which made it almost impossible to get a proper/stable note when pressing the strings down.

Check your nut before you buy the set and see if they will fit perfectly. They stay in tune but the tension you need to apply on strings might result in shifts in the notes.

good strings, but

too tight tension even in A# tuning. May be it's good for baritone guitars, but ... I found Ernie Ball 2626 for me
