It’s Ernieball! Still my favorite after 15 years

Tried these for alternative lower tunings experimenting. Love the tension on the low strings and the clarity of the high strings

Best strings, especially for the price

Perfect gauge for my multiscale (26.5" - 28") 8 string tuned to drop A with a low E. I haven't ever had any quality issues with Ernie Ball strings.

Not a good suit for 30" scale guitars with string through body

I've bought this set for a Subzero Rouge IV (30" scale) and the .80 gauge didn't even reach the tuning machine. I suspect that the lack of length is due to this guitar being a string through body on the bridge (which reduces the amount of string length available). If you're using a Squier Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster (30" as well) I believe you'll not have this problem.

Great strings

I use these for my 26.5 scale 8 string. Unfortunately i have to buy .85 8th string separately because of the scale length and lack of string sets available, as .80 is muddy for my tuning of E, A, E, A, D, G, B, E. Rest of the set fits perfectly though, they sound great and there is nothing wrong with them. Would recommend.

HEAVY and Light at the same time

If you have an 8 string, and want to keep high tension on the low end strings, while maintaining easy bending ability on the high end, then these are for you!

I bought them mainly for the low end 80 gauge on the 8th string, and then to have a spare set of 9s

If you like to bend or are used to lighter gauge 6 string guitars, then this is the perfect mid ground!

Exact description, it does what it's supposed to.

Bought it for my Ibanez 8 String. I must say that in the beginning it was a bit daunting to play a .80 gauge string on a guitar. But with time I got used to it. Great for metal or djent. Very clear sounding.
