  • Yes, Yes, Yes, no? . . . . Hmm?
Color: Regular (10-46) Size: Regular
Purchased, October 18, 2020. Reviewed, March 6, 2022. It's interesting how I found these Ernie Ball Stainless-Steel Electric Guitar Strings. I was looking for some Elixir Strings because I had them on most of my guitars, or at least used to, they have a protective coating to prevent wear and tear. Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of having too many no#4 and No#1 strings break with this brand. So, I thought I'd search for an alternative, and I found Ernie Ball. First, I bought size 11 stainless steel, was impressed. Then, decided to buy several six-packs size 10-46, and haven't looked back since. Yes, these Ernie Ball strings are stainless steel, which I am impressed with! They don't oxidize and wear-out because of it, and they feel good on my fingers. Yes, they look good on my guitar too (2000 Fender Squier Affinity, my modified to “11” practice guitar). Yes, ever since I installed them, only the first string broke after 8 months of playing. Think about that for a moment, these strings have lasted more than 6 months which, for me, is the average lifetime of my strings. Overall, the majority of the stings have endured 18 months of playing, and they are still going strong, and no other strings have broken since. Now, that's outstanding! I'll bet you're wondering why I said “no” in the title. It is because these strings don't sound as great, when played with a “clean” sound on my amplifier, as opposed to other brand strings. But, I will admit, with a bit of amplifier and effects tweaking I can get them to sound exceptionally well. That begs the question, would I use these strings for a live performance or studio? Yes, I would. ... show more

  • Good strings for the guitar
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Wanted something with a lighter sound. These were perfect. Replaced the strings that came with my guitar and they just sound so much better. They are easy to tune and have stayed in tune since I put them on. What a difference it makes using these higher end strings compared to what are put on in a factory. ... show more

  • Great strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I used to use the more expensive Ernie Ball strings. I went back to the stainless steel strings. Love these strings and great tone.

Color: Super (9-42) Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Bought this because my string broke, I highly recommend these as a cheaper alternative to other strings. They sound good, but it has a bit of a rattle on the lower E and A. Are these better than $10-15 strings? No, they are about even. But if you need strings and want to play they get the job done quite well. Infact, I don't see a difference in these with any other more expensive strings on amazon, they play about the same. One issue; these strings seem to get dirty faster. If it wasn't for that it would be 5/5. ... show more

  • Bright Steel Strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
These were purchased for my cousin who is new to guitar, so I could teach him to properly restring a Stratocaster. We changed to these strings. I found them bright and exciting, with some good sustain.

  • Long Lasting Stainless Strings at a Reasonable Price
Color: Regular (10-46) Size: Regular
Bought these strings to get to the free shipping mark on a tuner set purchase. Strings stretched out quickly and sound great. Great price on a long lasting set of stainless strings.
