Weapons of choice;)

I've been using EB strings as long as I can remember, have them on basically all my guitars. Fairly cheap, reliable and good sounding, can only recommend;)

The only brand for me!

Ernie ball are the only strings I will use, have used them for years and will continue with them. Great longevity and sound. Also a sensible range available for various styles/tunings.

Ernie Ball strings.

I've tried a lot of different brands of strings but always got back to Ernie Balls. They sound good and also last long.

Best strings!

I 've tried everything many times. Ernieball strings is the only thing I 'll ever put in my guitars whether they Les Pauls, Jazzmasters or PRSi.

If only they would last longer...this is their only flaw, they tend to wear down really easily compared to other brands.

But soundwise they are still the best for me, for as ling as they last.

A real benchmark

Great strings!

Completely middle of the road, reliable, with consistent quality.

Being in sealed plastic foil also gives the strings a long shelf life as they aren't exposed to the atmosphere, perfect to have spares in a gig bag.

A complete set of work horses!

Good strings, what else from Ernie Ball?

Great strings, keep tune for at least a couple months. Very diverse sound. Heavy on the lower strings, with a fair amount of clarity on the higher strings.

Ernie balls never disappoint me as they've always got the sound I'm looking for, with the capacity to give a good sound through multiple ODs and distortions. They can be a tiny bit muddy on clean strums, but that's not an issue for me.

my choice in strings

I use this type of strings in my older guitar in standard tuning. sounds a little bit thick compared to .09 and keep the sound more soft and round.

good quality, last very long.

I use ernie ball since I've start playing and they never let me down

Excellent strings, if only they lasted longer

While setting up a friends guitar, he told me to string it up with these, and I have never gone back since.

I used to always play d'addario, but didn't like the roughness of the strings, and whenever I tried coated strings like elixers, I didn't like the smooth coating on the strings. I found these to be the perfect middle ground.

These strings just feel way better than anything I've ever tried. Even when they would start to go dull, it was over a period of time, and not just instantly dull.

A few weeks ago I discovered fast fret, and when used on strings, brought back some brightness and cleaned the strings, they still didn't feel that fresh. When used with these, it felt like I had restrung the guitar in two minutes. The two products were practically made for each other.

The only downside that I find to these strings is that each string is wrapped individually in paper sleeves, and I'd much prefer if they were packed similar to the d'addario sets.

best strings on the market

I have used these strings for many many years, I just have never found any type of strings that come close for tone and reliability.

Very playable

I've been using this strings now for some time on most of my guitars and I can freely say that they are best of all the strings that I have tried for some type of the guitars. I use them on my '72 LP Custom and '52 AVRI Telecaster and they shine on this two guitars, but on the oposite side I do prefer Dean Markley Blue Steel on my American Strat with Klein Pickups. I have mixed feeling about PRS 513 and this strings...I like them more than D'Addarios on PRS, but they are just not sounding as desired...I will try some other brands on this one, but keeping EB on Tele and Gibson...

Reliable strings for electric guitar

I currently use these strings for electric guitar. Really reliable and now industry standard strings, heavy duty and in my opinion last long. No real cons here.
