Ernie Ball 2215 Reviews

Skinny top heavy bottom indeed

I recently tried the Ernie Ball 2215 Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings, and I have to say, they are fantastic. These strings are specifically designed for those who enjoy playing in Drop D tuning or standard tuning with a slightly chunkier feel. I primarily use them on my Les Paul, and they have exceeded my expectations.

The Skinny Top Heavy Bottom configuration, with gauges ranging from 10 to 52, strikes a perfect balance between lighter strings for faster playing and heavier strings for a fuller tone. The slightly thicker lower strings provide excellent tension for drop tunings, ensuring a tight and well-defined sound. Whether you're riffing power chords or playing intricate lead lines, these strings deliver clarity and punch, allowing for exceptional articulation and note definition.

One aspect I particularly appreciate is the consistent quality of Ernie Ball strings. These strings have proven to be durable and long-lasting, which is important for players like me who tend to play extensively. The solid construction of the strings ensures they can handle bends, vibratos, and heavy playing without sacrificing their tone or breaking easily.

Overall, the Ernie Ball 2215 Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings are a fantastic choice if you're looking for a versatile set that excels in drop tunings and provides a chonkier feel. They work exceptionally well on Les Paul guitars, delivering a great balance of playability and tonal richness. If you're a fan of 10-gauge strings, I highly recommend giving the 10-52 set a try. You won't be disappointed.

A small step to Tom Delonge's sound

A great choice for guitarists who want a versatile and dynamic sound. The combination of a lighter gauge high E and B string with heavier low strings allows for easier bending and fretting of the higher notes, while still providing a strong and powerful tone on the lower strings. These strings are also durable and reliable, making them suitable for both practice and performance settings. Overall, the Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom guitar strings are a solid choice for guitarists looking for a high-quality set of strings that can handle a variety of playing styles and musical genres.

amazing

Ernie ball was always my good to go choice, but i always wanted heavier bottom strings on my 0.10 set... well now i got them!

Great sound

Guitar strings are probably the one thing you'll have the highest expectations of and these ones totally fulfil them with great tone and feeling! :)

Somethings never change and that's good.

I've being using these for 40+ years and they are always consistent, sound great and last a longtime. Thanks Ernie

My favourite strings

Guitar strings are really a matter of preference, so I won’t say these are the best - but they are my personal favourite!

Nice and heavy sounding

I have a heavy right hand and I wanted more tension in Standard tuning (24.75'' scale guitar) and these are perfect for that. They also work well in Drop D.

Skinny Top , Heavy bottom

Perfect for drop tuning , balanced string guages that dont sound awkward or flimsy , can never go wrong with Ernie Ball

Good strings for tight tones

I am currently using Ernie Ball strings for 4 years and i havent yet to tried better strings for the money.

My favourite strings !

As someone who primarily plays metal these are incredible . Nice and beefy on the top and easy to play on the higher notes

Low E string has so bass sound. As expected.

Awesome strings!

I play these on a schecter reaper 6 in drop c# tuning and they work and sound perfect for me!

Fat Bottomed Girls

They make the rockin' world go round!

One of the best in it's price range

Very nice sounding, very durable... I don't remember ever breaking one of strings. However, always whip them off after playing, they may lose color if You don't.

I prefer to d'addario

I feel like they're not as harsh and that they break in easier for example I like to use the regular tops (10's); and then I like to use the heavy bottoms for a drop d tuning, and I find that this brand just it's not as hard on my fingers as the d'addario.

Great strings

It’s ernie ball, of course the string sound and look great! Looks and sound shiny and bright which i love

One of the best for the price

It's really cool for the metal,dropping strings are not a problem with these strings. 10/10

My favorite strings of all time

This string gauge combination is great, I mostly use it on a standard tuned guitar or with a dropped D. Love the musicians names on the back of the package too.

Drop tuning

Its nice to be able to go down even lower while not having to solo on bridge supsension cables.
