My favourites

I will buy these strings for life, they are so nice. Great feel (who wants to bend with 10s or 11s) and they sound great too.

Why use any other ?

Ive been using these for 45 years and the contribute to my overall sound -

10/10

Für starke bendings

Ob B.B.King oder Hendrix, diese Saiten halten große Strapazen aus und klingen einfach toll.

Great electric guitar strings

I've used Ernie Ball strings for quite a while, mainly heavier guage ones though. I wanted to try something lighter to make vibrato and bends more effortless.

So far, so good. Easy to play, and the tone does not seem too thin. Plus, they are staying in tune as well as you could expect.

Whether I stick with these, or eventually go back to heavier strings will take time to determine. I was concerned about tuning stabilty and lack of tone, but as far as I can hear, these seem good, and should be easier on the fingers.

Good strings for light sounds

Really easy to play if you think that normal stings are too hard.

I got these because I was quite weak and I couldn't do barre chords on thicker strings and they work great for that reason. Hammer-ons and harmonics are more silent than on normal gauge strings. One thing I wasn't expecting but I'm impressed about is their resistance. Although I play guitar really violently, none of the stings have broken yet and I've been using them for about 2-3 months every 1-2 days. In conclusion, I think that they are a good choice if you're struggling with barre chords if you're new to them. Bends are also incredibly easy. I don't know how useful they are for stronger people though.

Good soft strings

Good strings for jazz lovers.

Slinky Dinky

These are my favourite strings for bends, you can even bend them with your dinky finger. They stay in tune and are aloud as 10's. There's no need to me a macho man and hurt yourself on 11's and 12's.

Great strings

There's nothing really to say, the strings are great and I use them all the time

Bon son et pratique pour les bends

Les cordes sont super souples et donc parfaites pour faire des solos.

je recommande si c'est ce que vous cherchez !

Ernie Ball has never failed me

I've been playing Ernie Balls for years, and the quality has always remained consistently good. I appreciate that they haven't changed their formula in decades -- it's a product that is well-made with no "surprises" caused from a change in manufacturing process etc. The strings feel great, are very durable, and have a crisp and clear sound.

my favorite strings

They outcompete all the brands I've tried (which are quite a few). they're also better than their coated counterpart, especially as they're 1/3 of the price

all time fav

I love them since they are easy for bending, and shredding

Perfect

My go to strings. Playability is outstanding. Can't believe I waited this long to switch gauges.

Cant stop to play anymore

Very nice sounding strings. Since I start to play guitar my strings are been 10's or 11 and now I just try 8

seriously amazed

Ernie Ball is been always my first choice. i find them the best sounding and easy bend strings. Even 11's

Definitely try this

One moment you will find your self to play some crazy stuff with this 8's

Best. Strings. Ever.

Tired of killing your hands trying to reach those higher bends?

Feel like there's something lacking in your bottom end?

BUY THESE STRINGS!

Best-kept secret of the 60's and '70s guitar gods. Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Chuck Berry... all these guys used 8's! Eddie Van Halen used 9's but tuned down a half step, the equivalent of 8's in standard tuning).

Other light gauge string aficionados: Zappa, Toni Iommi, Brian May, B.B. King, Frampton, Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, Billy Gibbons... the list goes on.

Seriously, buy these strings.

They simply work

I wanted to get these strings for one of my strats. Get that Hendrix vibe. I have not tried them on guitars with smaller scale lengths. But for 25.5" scale lengths these strings simply work.

They are super light and very easy to shred on. These strings make string bending a dream.

This are amazing!!!

For the price, it is a steal for the price, and sound and feel amazing, and they are quite cheap
