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

Product Information

And my Regular Slinky strings do me just fine for that period of time. It’s about every three months that I start to notice them becoming a little bit duller. And that’s OK. It’s a manageable duration. Image Credit: Ernie Ball Conclusion 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. In your endeavors of finding your ideal set of guitar strings, you will first want to decide whether you need acoustic strings or nylon strings. This is an important characteristic that greatly affects your guitar’s overall tone. I have them on all my electric guitars. I have a set of Regular Slinky Bass on my bass guitar, and if I ever get a seven-string guitar, I’m 100% sure the first change of strings it gets, will be a set of Regular Slinky seven-strings.

It’s apparent that both of these brands serve their individual purposes better than one another, therefore bring something unique and of their own to the table. After putting these strings on I noticed a huge improvement from the strings that were already on the guitar, they actually felt a slight bit easier to play in my limit experience. They sound much nicer too, quite a bright sounding set of strings. I can't attest to how long they last, seems to vary person to person. A decent amount of people seem to think they last a while, even after the bright sound is gone, they still play and feel good. Again, I can't say much about that as of yet.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. 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 Charly Bliss New York based 4-piece group, Charly Bliss is a sonic explosion of pure joy and infectious energy. With crunchy guitars, bouncy basslines ... While it’s suggested that Regular Slinky Strings are the go-to set of strings from Ernie Ball, you want to make sure it’s for you! I guess whether it’s on a Les Paul, or a Strat, or whatever, these strings just bring out the integrity of that guitar’s sound.

Ernie Ball offers strings for a variety of other instruments including banjo, mandolin, and steel guitar. Available in multiple gauges, these strings are made with the same high quality as our world famous guitar and bass strings. 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. D’Addario and Ernie Ball are both excellent suppliers of guitar strings, they have quite a history of leaving their mark in the world of music. A history that you now know,that you likely haven’t before! It’s quite amazing what one component of an instrument can do.Nylon strings tend to be warmer, and steel strings tend to be brighter and crisper. Furthermore, it’s important to know what your instrument needs — a steel-string guitar, cannot have nylon strings, and a nylon string guitar cannot have acoustic strings. 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.
