Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 10-46 Gauge

Product Information

The ability to customise your gauge by buying individual strings is a brilliant plus also with these. I could not get my SG to tune to C sharp with the readily available gauge sets I found on the net. With Ernie Ball I could customise my third string to work properly and intonate well and bend properly. In saying that, many companies – Ernie Ball included – are forever marketing new types of super-innovative string designs, claiming to do this, that, and the other.

That tone, of course, doesn't last long if you're playing 2-3 hours or more per day, but I find with Ernie Ball they actually also sound good as they age and wear out. Different, but good, which is why I choose them. With other strings I've tried they really sound dull after a week. Behind the strings: Ernie Ball had a goal he set out to accomplish, and that goal was to create guitar strings that can match the gear for creating unique tones. For over 50 years, Ernie Ball has worked hard to bring top-quality, but very affordable strings capable of being in the hands of every musician. The Ernie Ball 2221 Electric Guitar String Set is a great choice for any guitar player looking to upgrade their strings. One of the standout features of these strings is the tonal balance they provide. They produce a warm and rich sound that's well-rounded and perfect for a variety of playing styles. These two brands, D’Addario and Ernie Ball; both bring a lot to the table. However, it mainly depends on what you are seeking out of your instrument. Are you looking for something with a nice grip? Does it sound bright, or warm? Does it have sustain or resonance? What kind of coating does it use, if any at all? Are the longevity of the strings an important factor for you? These might be some questions you will want to answer when buying strings for your instrument.Supplying musicians since '97.

After continuous playing, roughly 4 hours in, it will lose the “new string sound”, which is liked by a fraction of guitarists. The winding of the strings ultimately feels shorter, more round, and spaced out than the D’Addario strings. The company is still owned and operated by the D’Addario family, which is centered around guitars as their primary instrument. Furthermore, they’ve become a renowned force in the music business, as many famous and well-known artists swear by these very strings. (Lenny Kravitz, Joe Satriani, and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers very own Josh Klinghoffer). Ernie Ball The regular aspect of Regular Slinky strings comes from the balanced nature of the strings. By that I mean the treble strings are not intended to be any more trebly than the bass strings are bassy, or the middle strings are middly.

Finally, although, D’Addario won’t show as much physical wear as Ernie Ball strings, it doesn’t change the fact that they both share the same lifespan and/or playing time. The reason Ernie Ball will generally show more wear on the strings is that they are the shinier of the two. I can’t fault these strings that’s why I use them on all my guitars. Great reliability between string changes. Whether you’re buying your first guitar or building your dream studio, get your gear from a place you can trust, from people that care. Since 1979, Sweetwater has been committed to giving music makers the ultimate shopping experience.As my guitar collection expanded and became higher end, I didn’t want to waste great guitars on lousy strings. A key consideration in expanding my collection was the different tones of the different guitars. That’s the whole reason guitars have so much consideration going into their construction. I normally love to talk about the parts and construction of things, but there’s not a lot to say about strings in that regard. Do keep in mind, however, that when you are buying strings for your guitar, a lot of it is trial and error. You may decide that the coating on the strings is ruining the resonance, and therefore want an alternative option, because you still have a desire for the strings to last a long time.
