Ernie Ball Paradigm Super Slinky 09-42

Awesome!

They sound "fresh" for a long time, they don't lose their stability, and they are unbreakable. What more to ask? Well worth the extra cost, if you ask me!

Great sound but wore out super fast

I love super slinkies but hate how quickly they wear out, so I decided to give the Paradigm ones a go. I actually switched to D'Addario NYXL strings a while back, which I really like. I'm sad to say that the higher strings (g, b and e) turned dark and corroded after about a week of playing. They still sound OK, but definitely not like fresh strings. They also very much feel like old strings. So sadly not going to continue using them. They're still nice strings, but don't stay fresh as long as I would expect from a coated set.

Overly priced set of strings

I Love strings. I love how they affect the tone and feel so greatly.

after trying many sets of strings and choosing which set I like for each guitar, I found that this set,for me, wasnt good enough for its price.

Durability wise, they corroded on me after a month of use. I cant blame them, these things happen in Israel. But other sets did perform better.

Sound wise, they are very good. they keep a clean balanced tone that suits many genres.

Feel wise, nothing special. they remind me of Dr Strings Pure blues. get a set of these instead!

Great strings but

Bought them as a possible alternative to my favorite coated strings and although I found them to be great sounding and rust free strings, by changing tuning frequently I've noticed they tended to snap quite frequently.

The best strings I ever played

Very good quality strings, easy to bend and great durability.

Top strings

My favorites for my Strats

Best strings I've had

Coming for several strings from other brands, these are really good, bright with a lot of sustain, and so far seem to last as well. Using them on a Les Paul, and it seems to go out of tune less than before (still does though...).

killer sound

They are for sure among the best sounding strings that I have ever used . As far as durability is concerned , I want to say that the d string snapped after a couple of weeks but I guees that one is on me due to the heavy duty that I put my guitar through . The overall image is for sure really positive .

Excellent strings.

These strings may appear to be expensive when you first look at them. However, I have used them on a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender Telecaster with very good results. There is a wonderful tone and very good sustain from them. They are the usual high standard from Ernie Ball.

Bright and clean but not very robust

String sound clean and quite crisp, but for two weeks of playing lost a lot of its sound. Opposed to Elixir feels like a lesser quality.
