Ernie Ball 2215 Reviews

5stars

As it used to be.. ernie ball sound is the best for rock guitar.

Negative: It doesn't holds this excellent sound that long, but it worth it. If you use it in studio you have to change often to have the same "brand new sound".

Best strings out there

What else can I say? Ernie Ball are the best...

Great product for a good price

I've been using Ernie Ball strings for years on different guitars. I recently acquired a Gibson Les Paul Studio and the vendor recommended I try the Heavy Bottom, Slinky top gauge on it. I was not disappointed! The lower strings give a great response when playing riffs while the higher strings are still easy to play. The overall sound is still well balanced. I recommend this product.

Good and solid strings for a Drop D tuning or for Standard E with a more beefy low end. I have been using them for over 3 years for my Gibson LP.

Love em or hate em. Not for the lazy restringers

Always stayed with ernie ball's slinky's the last 18 years. (Out of 29). Love their brilliance and presence, they do ware and corrode quickly, resulting in a more dull sound. Perfect for me, since i play daily and quite intense, resulting in fret and string ware. I restring pretty often (weekly). So a economical, good sounding string is needed. Coated string are not an option to me, as they start to release their coating, resulting in a unpredictable, crappy sound. Chose slinky's for their playing comfort (lotta bending, sliding, hammeron/pulloffs) they have an excellent grip and good slide.

does exactly what it says on the tin

Great strings, great price.

Don't go for cheaper/ off-brand strings. it's worth it to get the real thing.

Great strings, great price

What more can be said about these - we use all Ernie Balls, great gear, great price

They're Ernie ball...

What else can I say.. they're Ernie ball!

Good strings but not for me

These are excellent string because they look well-made and sound good. But they just didn't suit my fingers. I put them on a Fender Telecaster and didn't like the feel of the strings under my fingers.

I've always used d'Addarios and Elixirs, maybe why I didn't like the feel of these Ernie Balls. I play everyday and the strings lasted quite some time. They are really inexpensive, so you can get a set and give them a try.

I would not recommend them for blues or surf rock players like me.

awesome strings

great strings perfect for drop d tuning and sound cool with playing rhythm

Nice strings for electric guitars :)

I have them on my les paul in drop C and they don't have any problem with that tuning :)

Best Set for Signle Coil Equipped guitars

This set has been part of my setups since 5 years and there's no way I am gonna change.

The Thicker strings on E,A,D really raise up some solid lows, while the other three ones are well balanced.

Warm sound, good durability and excellent playing.

Try them in your strat wit low action and you'll never take them out.

great strings for dropping

I have used these strings for standard tuning and for drop B. While on standard they are a bit too thick for my taste, for Drop tunings below C they are perfect. The tension on the strings feels as natural as in standard tuning. I will use them again in the future

great strings for heavy riffing

I love these strings, they're the ultimate balance between being loose enough at the top for nice soloing, and thick enough at the bottom for tight riffage.

The tone is great, these strings sound good and are perfect for a full sound.

quality? meh... I play almost daily on these strings, around half an hour, treating them with fast fret, and I still break them after 4 to 6 weeks. I tried the paradigm equivalent, but they broke after just 2 weeks, so they're not worth the extra price.

I swear by these ernie balls!

Really pleased

There isn't a lot to say about the strings. They sound great, have great tuning stability and feel fantastic.

Great for alternate tuning

I chose these strings with the skinny tops and heavy bottoms because I play alot in alternate tuning and the heavy bottoms let be detune the base strings without loosing intonation. The strings are of high quality, something Ernie Ball always have been known for.

I use this set of strings on my Ampeg Guitar. This is a really versatile gauge in my opinion because it can work great with normal tuning and Drop D tuning, and its comfortable for both rhythm and solo playing.

The quality is good, as is always with this brand.

Great price / value ratio

I'm sure there are better, fancier or cooler strings, but I've been playing these for 6-7 years and I don't wish to change. Nuff said!

Good Strings

They are what they are. Ernie Ball never let me down!

cool strings

Kirk Hammett uses those strings, so what do you expect?!

they are great, they sound awesome,

i don't know if it's only me, or they broke kinda fast.
