Ernie Ball 2215 Reviews

Solid, Does what you wan't them to do

Awesome for drop tuning (way better than the standard 10 46). A bit hard on standard E but very playable, you'll get used to it.

My go to brand

I use it on a Gretsch streamliner with Bigsby in E standard (24,75"). It feels just right for me!

I would use these on a strat style (25,5") in Drop D.

Great combination for heavy riffs and melodic solos!

Great sounding strings in hard rock/heavy metal band. As the title says, they are a great hybrid set of strings if you are playing riffs and lead on the same guitar. They might throw you off a bit in the beginning if you are only used to standard sets of strings but you quickly get used to them and then you are off to the races!

My Go-To strings

I love the sound of these strings, got used to them, can't have anything else. They loose the sound after 2/3 months depending on your playing, but it's well worth.

My go to set

Always used these as i play a lot in drop tunings and it just seems to work out for me. I love how they feel and sound like. Really brings out a nice metal strum sound out of any guitar i put them on.

Best sound for the price

I find this sting to have best sound for reasonable price. Ernie Ball offers diverse range of sting options, and I am the fan for years.

Really nice strings

I used these strings on 24,75' scale guitar. I wanted to achieve the tightness of a 25,5' scale. They are very tight! Really good sound, quality and ease on performance. They do their job perfectly!

Perfect For My Needs

I have multiple guitars which I mess around on, strats and tele's I usually string those with standard pink slinky's and they are nice for Eb tuning also.

However when it comes to my Les Paul and PRS Custom 24 I usually keep these in Drop D and sometimes Drop C, when using my standard strings on these they always sounded thin and just didnt feel right, moving to these Skinny Top/Heavy Bottom gives me the right amound of flex in the treble strings and a nice thump from the bass strings. I play a lot of Tool songs in my band and these strings have become the norm for my altered tuning guitars.

Luxurious strings, with a worldwide reputation, for a great price.

Great strings. I use them on my semi-acoustic guitar, they sound juicy. I often take strings from this company and have never had any problems.

Decent for the price

These strings are good for the price. I always buy Elixirs and find them to be the best but if I can't buy Elixirs, I'll go with Ernie Balls.

Love these strings!!!

Ernie Ball makes amazing products all round! Their strings...top class!

Used for D standard tuning on a 25.5" scale guitar.

Like the title says, I use these on a 25.5" scale guitar tuned to D standard (down a whole step on all 6 strings). Sounds and feels great.

Standard

Try if you don't know and stay if you like it.

Best guitar strings ever. I use them for E, D and C tuning. Never had an issue, sound amazing, they are durable and have a great lifespan.

6 string

quickly broke, literally after 10-20 hours of play. Thrash metal old school.

Best Set

My favourite set of strings. Starting with the 0.10 string to end to the 0.52 (equivalent to 0.12 sets), it is ideal for heavier riffing but still keeps soloing smooth and easy going. Using them for circa a decade and dont plan on changing.

Ernie .... fastest skinny tops in the west!

They're Ernie Balls - what more do you need to know! I usually use the Hybrids, but bought these to string up my HB-35 for slide guitar. They're awesome!

great strings

nothing to complain - the strings are durable, stay in tone and sound amazing

Best strings in my opinion, sound and feel is fanatastic, but they get rusty after 3/4 weeks.

Good for lower tuning

I've bought this set as future alternative for new Fender Jeff Beck Strat, yet factory set needed replacement at once. Heavier gauge of EB 2215 (10-52) pulled the bridge harder, so I had to add full set of tremolo springs on the back. It compensated for pull reasonably good, but the sound was not what I expect from Strat. So I once more time made a change to EB Hybrid Slinky 9-46 and this is it.

Replaced 2215 found its place on my SG tuned to open D - the bottom strings are not so heavy as GHS Boomers 10-60 and that's better for thin neck, it's light to play, have power for bass accents and at the same time whole set has enough tension for occasional bottleneck.
