Ernie Ball Paradigm Regular Slinky 10-56 3-stars Reviews

Great sound, weird tension

I'm gonna start by saying that the Paradigm strings are by far my favourite stock strings for all my guitars (6 and 7 strings).

PROS: They got an amazingly balanced tone that doesn't fade after the first hour of playing. I love them for both recording and live playing. Before these I was using Ernie Ball, but the regular ones and it's a night and day difference. So if you wonder if you should try them, then please, definitely do. So, tone wise, they are just what I want.

CONS: The downside's a deal breaker for me. I won't go into too much detail, but overall you got soft strings, tight strings, uneven tension, because the strings and the neck are very unbalanced. I know it's mostly because of the gauge and this is the standard 10 set, not only for this particular product, but still... going to 11s is a bit too much and the problem persists. It's just that the previously softer ones will have a nice tension and the others won't. It'd be perfect if they'd have a set focusing on equal tension on every string. Or at least have a wider range of single string gauges.
