Ernie Ball 2220 Reviews

Really good and strong

been using these for downtunning as well as using them for standard and they dont break esily great product

Always a pleasure

To me it's a standard to buy and use Ernie Ball strings.

They last long, don't change tone over time (unless you don't take care of them but yep, it's your problem) and are cheap and available in lots of variations.

Lovely Bright Strings

I love the feel of these for aggresive picking! Very bright sounding!

My go-to!

playing for 3 hours a day and changing them only 2 months. Happy! Like the sound from jazz to funk to rock.

A classic reliable brand for heavy riffers

They are perfect for those who like robust rhythms, for metal, rock & roll, or blues. Perfect for lower tunings. They are made of nickel-plated steel wire, wrapped around a hexagonal core. They create a well-balanced tone for your guitar and have a long life.

Very nice for Drop C tuning

Absolutely the best sounding strings for my Ibanez when it's in Drop C tuning. And a very reasonable price!

just not that good

I tried to switch over from daddario cause these a a tiny bit cheaper but Ernie balls seem to break and wear out really fast. On top of that they never feel that great.

Jazz players will like this one

I play almost all genres, and these strings are great for big sounds (not so good if you want high bends and are not used to this tension). My D'Angelico works very well with them!

Pros:

- Big sound

- Durability

- Useful for many genres

- Especially helpful for Eb/D tunings.

Cons:

- Require strength for some bends

Brilliant strings

Been using these for years on my Gibson LP. Great Sound, nice price and good feel. Recommended

Ernie Ball Power Slinky

A more meaty feel, with the classic Slinky quality.

Good price - quality ratio

Bought this string set to test it with my jazzmaster and i think i'll stay with 11s for a while!

Perfect for the occasional drop tuner

I'm really happy whenever I buy a new set of these for my guitars. I love their sound when they're fresh.

I like to play a lot of drop d with these strings. They're perfect for that. It's like they're meant to be played this way. The lowest I go with this set of strings is down to drop c before I feel like they lose their sound.

Everything in that range is absolutely perfect.

One thing I don't like is that they seem to get greasy a lot sooner than other strings, but that could very well just be my sweaty hands.

Can't go wrong if you don't want to tune them down to ridiculous tunings.

Best strings for hard rock

I like to play hard, lots of bends and hammer ons, and these strings are just perfect

Love the feel, love the quality

No cons, my fav guitar strings

Best one

Just classic. I've been using Regular Slinky for 25,5 scale and Power Slinky for 24,75 scale for a long time.

Awesome as always

I've been using them for a long time and I am completely satisfied with them.

Great strings

Just your run-off-the-mill guitar strings. Can't go wrong here. It's a double buy from me

Ernie Ball quality

What can I say? They're made in the USA, are great quality, play well, they're priced right and overall just what you'd expect from Ernie Ball.

As to how this gauge feels: It's a nice step up from Regular Slinkys in string tension and they tune to drop D and D standard fine, however if only playing drop tunings I would suggest getting a thicker set of strings to avoid loose and jangly strings, fret buzz etc.

Just a set of good string at a very affordable price

The best strings

Simply the best!

Pros:

-durability

-sound quality

Cons:

- 0

Best strings for the price

Clarity and sound is perfect, but the most important is the feel. This is by far the best strings i have used
