Ernie Ball 2223 4-stars Reviews

Super 9s

As far as 9s go they're good. They get grubby after only two or three plays but retain their sound for a lot longer. Need replacing after about a month of regular use, so about par for strings; so for the price, a good deal. My only issue with them is the 9 size, which feels a little too flimsy on even a guitar with a longer scale length, but that's just personal preference.

Great Strings for a great price!

I bought these to put on my new Squier Classic Vibe Strat (the original strings were rubbish) and these definitely improved the sound and playability! A big plus is that they are reasonably priced so it is not an issue to change them on a regular basis. Gotta keep your guitar strings fresh!

Good

Sounds good. But my E string broke after few drop D tunings.

Decent Strings

I don't honestly get all the excitement for Ernie Ball strings. I like them, don't get me wrong, and they certainly offer a wide variety of choices, but they're just slightly above medium in terms of quality, nowhere in the vecinity of Elixir and others.

Even so, I will still buy them because of the price and still change them after around three months of use :))

don't last long...

I like the sound, they don't break easily but they really don't last long...

Good strings for their price

This are good strings for st or tele, they don't lose treble after a moth

They are tenacious.

what do you expect?

they are good quality strings, for a good price. The gauges are great for lead playing in e standard tuning, I'm not sure how good they are for downtuning since I use them on a guitar with floating trem and you basically need an engineering degree to do it. I'm not a huge fan of the packaging, every string is individually wrapped, wish makes an insane amount of trash, I prefer Daddarios packaging.

A1

Great strings for any standard of player. good tone and durability.

9s give my Tele a bright twang

I can't really fault Super Slinkys. They're light enough to allow bending, speed and give the bright twang that I want from my Telecaster.

Flexible

I put these on my strat and really like how the sound and feel. Very flexible for easy bending. But they only last me about 3 weeks or so.

Just nice cheap strings

Nice comfortable package (every two strings with and without wound in different bags) and good quality.

Sound is very subjective theme. For me, in these are too much of that metal sound when you're playing. And I think they are too mellow for me.

Good but not perfect

I have been using Ernies for years now but I think I'll be switching to another brand.

I gig 1-2 times a week and I find Ernies don't last very long before they get rusty. They are perfect when you first put them on your guitar, they tone and feel are probably the best out of all strings I have tried but I feel I must change strings every 1-2 gigs due to the corrosion. I have on occasion opened a brand new Ernie Ball set and there were signs of rust on them, on a brand new set! I have tried Daddario XL over the past few months and I noticed they last way longer than the Ernies but I must say I definitely prefer the sound and feel of the Ernies.

I guess they're perfect for studio use or for guitar players that change their strings often

My Strat's Go-To Strings

Ernie Balls get the job done — they feel great and last long enough. The sound? I'm still not convinced strings make a big difference for electric guitars, as long as they're reasonably fresh. Sure, there's better strings out there. But for the money, they're perfect.

Great value

These are my favourite strings at the cost point. Feel great, easy bends and stay in tune. They typically last me 1 month before sounding a bit dead meaning that I replace them after about 6 weeks as I am a bit tight that way. Great bright sound when new.

Awesome strings.

I like these strings because they are so durable. Even after a few months, they feel good as new. Would buy again. The only bad thing about these is that they can get dirty really quickly after a while.

great value

Pretty cool strings. Not my favorite but probably my go-to set if I want to be sure I will get a decent set of nice playing strings.

Who needs my input

Reliable and standard strings that don't cost the earth.

Nice strings

just too light for me!

Quality

Okay quality for the price, nothing special.

Fair priced strings

Fair priced strings. I bought them to compare with NYXL. They have good rich sound, decent quality. We will see how much they will last :)
