Ernie Ball 2221 5-stars Reviews

The Mutts Nuts!

These are the only strings I buy these days. Have tried a few other brands in the distant past but have always come back to EB's. Reliability, consistency, longevity, versatility, feel and tone all score 10/10 and at a price that's hard to beat. As with most strings they are too bright when brand new but they do settle in very quickly, and if lightly stretched when first fitted, tune easily and hold it well. After 35 years of playing, hopefully I should be a reasonable judge!

Einfach Rock N' Roll

Good strings for a good price!

You can trust Ernie Ball strings for its sound and life time.

Best for the price

I bought these strings because my older strings (Pyramid .08s) kept breaking all the time.

Those will probably be my usual strings from now on, very good quality and good sound.

The best strings on the market

Ernie Ball strings are great. I have tried a couple of different brands of strings before, and found that Ernie Balls are the best strings for the price. The tuning stability is great and they sound very good

Perfect strings

Just the right amount of tension and an amazing broken into feel in these string. The perfect strings for normal guitar playing that does not break the bank. Unfortunately corrodes pretty quickly.

Superb set of strings

I've tried all different brands of strings but I must admit I always tend to revert back to the Ernie Ball 10's.

They are reliable and have a more superior sound quality to other string brands I've used. I found that durability is pretty good too. They tend to last longer then you might think.

However like all strings they do lose some tonality the longer they are left out in the elements.

Strong great sounding strings

I use only Ernie Ball strings for my guitars. The sound great and they are cheap.

The best I ever used!!

I've used Ernie Ball 2221 on my Fender Stratocaster 1966 (orig. bought in 1986in Chicago at Chicago Music Exchange) for about 1 year ..and "man" what a difference.. they have the perfect mix of thickness, since I tune in #E

So perfect mix of durability and playability - Simply the best strings I've ever used!

Always reliable

You can always rely on ernie ball stri gs, they are always the same. I love them

Great strings

My favorite electric guitar strings, long lasting, great quality.

I've been using the Regular Slinkies for years now. They sound good and rarely break.

My standard strings!

The Ernie Ball Regular Slinky guitar strings are my choice of strings on barely all of my guitars for years now. I use them especially for standard tuning and half step down. The overall quality is really good. The good sound is obtained over a long span of time and I also have no problem of broken strings. Some people prefer to change the strings within a few weeks, I keep the Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies for about a year on my guitars and I can?t complain about the sound but I recommend using Fast fret to keep the strings in a good shape if using them for that quite long time.

Top Value for the Money!

I have been usung Ernie Ball Strings since 1995 and yes I have tried other brands, but this one is still my top choice. I use them in the studio and live and the they most definitely satisfy all my requirements in terms of sound, quality and durability. Because of having light form of Tendinitis, I also use them on acoustic guitar and they work out perfectly also there. Highly recommended!

A guitar player staple - and for good reason

Ernie Ball strings are what a consumable product should be : the right balance in affordability vs quality. No guitar strings last forever, but these keep price manageable while still being very good for the purpose intended. Would recommend to any guitar player if they're looking for a balance between quality and affordability.

my favourite strings

Isnt it great when your favourite strings are really cheap too?

The slinkys are great. they feel really comfortable and are pretty durable too!

If you dont know which strings to get, have a go at these! You wont be sorry

Nice sound

I like these a lot. good sound and pretty durable.

The strings i choose from now on

I have tried 2-3 different expensive guitar string sets and i have came to the conclusion that getting a budget set like this and changing it every 1-2 months (depending on how much you play and if you have gigs) is the way to go.

They feel and sound great to my ears.

My go to strings

Love these strings.they seem to last longer and sound fresher that any others. I mostly use them tuned to eb on my strats

We have been using this type of guitar strings for both our guitars in the band (Fender and Gibson) for many years now. They are the best quality for what we need.
