Ernie Ball 2223 5-stars Reviews

For a Strat the best I know.

Nice, slinky, feeling (duh..) but still stif enough for some crisp rhythm.

i really like these strings

im really impressed by these strings

Great strings, great sound even though they tend to get corrosion quickly

Bright sound, good playability

I've been playing these strings on my telecaster en stratocasters for ages. These are my go-to strings.

I would definitely recommend them.

I won't use anything else.

There are a lot of awesome strings on the market and I've used many of them (D'Addario and Fender notably) but for the vast majority of the 30 years I've been playing I always end up back with the standard Slinkys. I've even tried a bucnh of the other Ernie Ball strings and they were akll great too (Cobalts, M-Steels, and coated Slinkys) I still come back to these. I cannot speak more highly of them than that. I just love 'em!

THE gold standard in strings!

Been using these for 30 years now. And I won't use anything else.

Works For Every Electric

In the past, I never really cared that much what strings went on my guitars. As long as they were 10-52 gauge, they were fine. Now, I stick with these 9-42's.

Some strings have been a little too bright, hard to keep in tune, wore out quickly or have even had five strings in the pack instead of six.

I put a fresh set of these on my Floyd Rose-equipped Charvel and...

1. They maintain their tuning with negligible adjustment required (even with some heavy bends and big trem pulls).

2. Good tone - the new string brightness tempers down quickly and they last a good while before they start to sound a dull enough to change out.

3. They don't corrode easily - unless you have really acidic sweat or dirty hands, they'll last well.

These are so cheap, there's no excuse not to order multiple packs to ensure you always have a fresh set available.

Recommended.

Won't use any other kind

Love these strings they are thinner than the standard ones my guiter came with. Great for bending! They also have great quality and strenght, i have yet to break one of these.

high quality strings

strings last long before needing to change and are easy to perform vibrato and crank out pinch harmonics

great for recording

great for recording but dont last at all,for live better use coated

Good strings

These are great strings, they are pretty cheap, sound great and they just feel good to play. Love using them ;)

The best

Best strings out there consirning me.

Great sounding, and long lasting - I play 16 hours per week and they last for a month!

Superb strings

Used them for years, no issues whatsoever!

Still the one

I went all the way to the elixir tone changing and whatever micromaterials of string magic. None of them stuck in my playing.

I needed back home in all the string frenzy, I chose this one.

They really feel back home, and wont change your tone or playing, if anything, they will send you back sounding with the tones of all the recordings we cherish and love.

Ernie Ball and you can't go wrong

It's my first choice after trying various brands and I don't see myself choosing something else for 9s or 10s that I use for my guitars.

Very good strings

I didn't fit this one yet, as I have bought them as a spare set. But I have used them before, and I forgot to change them )) Very good quality!!!

Nice mid to lightweight strings

Moved to 9's from 8's recently as a compromise between ease of note-bending and sound, and find these a really good option. Well packaged, gauge is readily identified, recommended

Great strings

I used to play Boomers, then on a whim I switched to Ernie Ball and to be honest, I don't feel much of a difference. Then again, I'm an amateur bedroom player, but they feel and sound pretty good.

One thing though, I snapped one while changing them. Maybe it was a mistake on my part, but that didn't happen with the Boomers.

I find these strings good to use. The quality is very good and they last well. I use them on a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender Telecaster.

These strings won’t go out of tune even if you put a lot of stress on it.

If we speak about tone they are a little more on the bright side and still have all the warmth. It’s the best of the both worlds.

Durability is great but don’t expect them to last as coated strings.

Since they are not so expensive it’s the best to change them from time to time.
