Ernie Ball Paradigm Super Slinky 09-42 3-stars Reviews

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!

Good quality string, just not for me

I bought these strings with my new Ibanez RGDIM6FR, just to see what all the hype was about. Normally I use NYXL, and I have to say: I still prefer NYXL over EB Paradigm. Don't get me wrong, the paradigms are great strings, I like them a lot, but I prefer the way NYXL feels under my fingers.
