Ernie Ball 2627 Beefy Slinky 5-stars Reviews

Good sounding strings

Clear sound for first 1.5 days of intensive playing. I tune whole step down. Did not management to break one string yet and i pound really hard. Reasonably priced.

cool

really cool strings, both the feel and sound of them.

A good set of strings

I use these for my Jaguar in drop C# tuning. Can't really say much, apart from that I like the tone and that these strings remain good for a long time. They certainly can take beating and I don't remember a string broken from this set ever. Also, they are relatively affordable.

If you are looking for a work horse string set for a lower tuning (D#, drop C#) - I recommend these.

I just loved them

It's very cool strings, even if you play in standard regime. It's perfect for those guitarists, who plays hard and expressively. I broke some strings but it was totally annihilation of the guitar, believe me. So take them, if you scared to brake the strings at your next gig.

Perfect for the Jazzmaster

I just ordered the Ernie Ball 2627 Beefy Slinky for my Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. I always had some problems with fret buzz, even the buzzstop couldn?t help. After some research I found out that I need some more ?beefier? strings in order to stop a Jazzmasters? fret buzz. And the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky really helped in that case. All of the fret buzz is gone now. I?m used to play Ernie Ball Super Slinky or Regular Slinky so I?m really glad that I didn?t need to use 012-gauge. The quality and the of the strings is really good as you can expect from Ernie Ball. They stay in tune perfectly and are really durable. I?ve got them for about half a year on my Jazzmaster and I can?t complain about the sound. As far as my jazzmaster is concerned, I will always use the Beefy Slinky.

Great sounding. But too heavy for me

I thought I would try these to get a more "beefy" SRV type tone.

They do sound great but for me I think I will stick with 10s .11s are just too heavy for me.

Great for slide!

I purchased the Beefy Slinky's to drop on my Epiphone SG as a solely slide guitar. Ideally, I wanted a quality set of chunky (telephone cable) strings and that's what I got with this pack.

With the bridge and action raised massively on the SG and a little setting up (the guitar had 10's on before) I had a great, chunky sounding slide guitar with these strings really contributing.

They still sound great after a few weeks playing. I've got them tuned into an Open E chord.

If you were playing without slide and trying to carry off full tone and more kind of bends, I'd personally find these strings a little heavy in standard tuning, especially with that chunky G string. However, this is a matter of personal preference and might feel fantastic to some.

Excellent

Great strings. I've been using Ernie Balls for a few years now and always found them to be excellent in every respect.

Great

Used for drop C and drop C# tunings.

Best Sound-price

The string sound lives for a long time ! Good quality !

Very Good

Very good sound, when fresh. I would like to last longer.

BEEFY

I got these to try on my Jackson Randy Rhodes with Floyd for drop C. They sound great as Ernie Ball strings usually do but I couldn't get the tension I need from these so I am going to go up another step and see how I get on. These would be a good fit for either D or Drop D.

My main set for 3 years

I've used Beefy Slinky for about 3-4 years now and they have the perfect mix of thickness, since I play in D-standard and play pretty hard I had alot of problems with breaking strings, since I switched to Beefy Slinky i rarely break strings anymore wich is good for my wallet.They are heavy enough for the down-tuning but they don't feel overly thick so that it hurts my fingers. So perfect mix of durability and playability!

feeling the power

Amazing, full of volume...feels amazing if you don't have a princess finger. I recommend it.

Reliable strings

Ernie Ball constantly deliver good quality products and their strings are no exception. I use these for tuning down to D and they are perfect. These are only beaten by the coated version available from Ernie Ball.

playing drop ?

easy to keep the low tone, just need 2 sec to feel the difference of size while changing guitar not equipped with the Beefy

best choice if you play drop tune

Just tried them, and all I can say is that I like them. I've used strings from Ernie Ball before, and I think I'll keep doing it. They're just... good. Very good.

Good strings. I don't really like Ernie ball strings, but this gauge is something that only they do out of the easy to find brands and size. If your doing drop C on a PRS custom 24, just get these and be done with it.

Quality Strings at a Great Price

I was very impressed with these strings. I've played just about every type of string there is and these are as good as any of them. Well worth a try and very well priced.

Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky Strings!

I simply love these strings, I've used them with both my Epihpone Explorer and my friends Gibson Les Paul Traditional they really make the guitar sing.

I've experimented with their drop tuning capabilities and have discovered that the bottom E drops to a C whilst still keeping tension, B is a bit of a push but it works!

I principly play bass and in doing so have had an obsession with bright snappy sounding strings, something I've taken over to guitar and these have that nice high end. They stay bright and new sounding for at least 3 weeks of regular playing in my experience.

Simply the best strings I've ever used!
