Ernie Ball 2252

Jeff Beck

LP: Wired

Listen to Pork Pie Hat. These Strings will lead you to playing it.

Nice old school sound.

If you are after that Jimi Hendrix sound this is what you are looking for. Sound great and play great. Only negativ point is that the high e broke on me after 2 weeks or so but that could just be me.

These are a bit thin sounding for me, compared to 10-46. They are less long lasting than the 10-46 as well. But this thing is more like a matter of taste & feel. I use Fast Fret after I play and I notice a longer life. Either way, I prefer them to other brands.

Longlasting and singing strings

Taste is subjective, so I suggest you compare Ernie Ball strings with another brand and decide once and for all which will be your favorites. New as old, Ernie Ball strings sing when I play on them, the character and sustain of the strings change with time which suits me perfectly, variation is key to any lasting relationship ;) My style ranges from indie pop to punk and post/punk which could be a factor influencing my choice of strings.
