Ernie Ball 2220 4-stars Reviews

Buena compra.

Perfecto para afinar a Eb estándar.

Standard and reliable

Not way too awesome set of strings, but they deliver what they're meant to do, always used them since they're a balance between quality and budget.

Very good strings for harder sound

2220 strings are really good for a hard rock or metal type of sound, but of course you can play other genres as well.

Custom Gauge quality

Good quality custom gauge, the right combination for my Fender Jaguar, I love the spread from chunky to shiny. Always great from Ernie

nice

Had these strings for a few times in several guitars for C# standard tuning. Sounded ok, felt good but didn't last too long, guess my sweat corrodes this material faster. Overall decent

Standard strings

Friend is using these, he likes them. I write review. They seem fine to him.

Decent for the price.

As the title says; obviously these won't sound as good as some proper D'addario's or anything, but in this price range, you probably won't find much better for this string gauge. Only other comment i can make about these is that they tend to wear out a bit too fast for my liking.

Still worth it considering the price, but just beware.

After 20 years, I have settled for those.

Let me start with the one complain that I have from Ernieball: Their strings do not last. I actually have to change strings more often when I use Ernieball compared to any other brand.

Having said, no other brand has the Ernieball sound, when it comes to vintage rock at least, so not only I m stuck with those, but I am grateful that they are still being made the same way they were made when most of my favorite recordings were produced.

I first tried these because of David Grissom and it really is a great set, especially if you tune down to Eb. The lighter bass strings do not produce the scratching sound of heavier gauges and the heavier treble strings give a nice Tele-like aggression to my Gibsons & PRSi

beefy

I liked them for my archtop, but not for my telecaster, made me work :).

A bit too beefy, but soundwise they're great!

great value

What i love of this strings is that they sound really bassy. The tension in my fender is really good... in a gibson scale they are more sludgy to me.. but i used high tension strings (jazz fellow).

The durability is though not too long... i am very picky when strings become rusty

Purple string pack of DOOM

I love these strings, they sound really thick and heavy when in E/Eb-Standard tuning and don't tend to break. The only real downside is that they wear in like a month so if you don't change your strings too often these strings can turn into a real pet peeve.

good quality guitar strings

Ernie Ball guitar strings, come nicely packed and give you a good feeling while playing ,with a nice bright sound.

good

good strings, nothing special to say. i like the bottom feeling, and the wound g. the top part its a bit too thick (for my style) for bending, but it's up to the player. the sound is good, but I am not an expert so for me it was just a good set of strings

Great standard set of strings

I really like the sound of a new set of there strings and for that I consider this a good value for money.

However I wouldn't recomend these strings for 2 kinds of purposes: to use on a guitar for a long time or to stock large quantities for a long time. The reason being these strings age very rapidly. In a guitar you play 1 hour a day these strings will be wasted in less than 2 weeks. Stored in a dry place and the package completely closed the strings will age (even rust) in less than a 1 year.

Good, mainly for rhythm guitar players?

A good string, does give you more tone due to the heavier gauge. I have tried this out on a Harley Benton 450 Plus and it gives a good base to play rhythm guitar on. One good thing about this gauge and series is that it is a bit more slicker than the Cobalt version of the gauge (both by #Ernie Ball) The Cobalt version feels a bit more sticky to me.

Surefire Ernie Ball quality

If you've tried Ernie Balls before, you know what to expect; A quality, longlasting and good sounding set of strings. I've run this set from 2012 all through 2013, without too much noticeable wear, so durability is not a problem. The gauge though, is not for everyone, and I'm one of those people. I'd rather opt for either the skinny top -fat bottoms, or a beefy slinky set instead of these, that are somewhat inbetweeners. But for each their own I guess.

Good strings, heavy guage (11-48), mostly for blues or jazz
