Ernie Ball 2229 Hyper Slinky

Very good strings

I think that's best strings for solo guitarists.

Best Set Ever

If you are a regular 9-42 player, you should try this.

Standard .8 set is so loose and out of control for me. But this is perfect.

You get the 9-42 feeling but better control and speed.

I think G string makes the biggest difference, feeling less tense and controllable. High E is also an advantage for bends.

If you have any doubts, dont overthink and get one.

Nun platzt die e Saite nicht mehr

Früher musste ich die gitarre schon mal 1/2 Ton runter stimmen damit die e Saite bei meinen Blues Entartungen nicht reißt. Nun kann ich sie ziehen und zerren, bleibt stimmstabil und langlebig

Excellent hybrid set

Extremely happy with Ernie Ball coming out with this hybrid set. Always loved 8s but felt the bottom 2 strings could be just a smidge thicker. This set is perfect for me.

Great strings

These are great , they are 9's with high e .08 and g string .14 which is even lighter than in regular 8's. So you have lots of fun when soloing. I was actually transitioning from 10's to 9.5's before trying these. But now I think I am going to buy few more sets.

You may need to adjust your playing if you used 10's before. But if you used 9's and these will give you more flexibility without need to adjust. They last long time so I recommend.

Great sounding but fragile!

Strings sound great, feel great.

Putting the strings on I broke the high e as soon as I had it to pitch. Tuned to e, bent up a full step to get a feel for the tension and the string broke immediately.

I guess that is the risk you take putting 8's on a strat.... Had to use my second set straight away which sound and feel great.
