  • It's just one pack of strings. Do not buy. It's overpriced.
Size: hybrid Style: 12 Pack
The picture in the ad shows 12 packs. The text of the ad is not clear about how many packs you are getting. The two reviews that were here when I made my purchase said that they had received 6 packs of strings (or as two 3 packs), not the 12 pictured. That's still a great deal, so I ordered them. I received 1 single pack of strings. I could have ordered an ACTUAL 3-pack for only $15. I'm going to file a complaint and request my money back. ... show more

  • Buyer beware.....
Size: hybrid Style: 12 Pack
SO - the picture of the product shows a 12 pack of strings.....which is what I wanted - so I ordered it. Was shocked to learn that the $26 price tag ($28 & change with tax, etc.) was only for ONE PACK.... Note to seller - change your effing picture..... And apparently I have to check a star..... There should be ZERO stars for this one.... ... show more

  • 3223-12?
Size: super Style: 12 Pack
I had put in my search query that I was looking for Ernie Ball Super Slinky for a 12 string guitar. Why is it listed as Part no. 3223-12 and subsequently telling the buyer it's a 12 PACK!? It is very confusing when you can already see its a 12 pack box, but to put 12 after the 3223 number, you are inclined to believe that it was the very thing I was looking for. Strings for a 12 string guitar. If you (in marketing) are foisting this onto the public, drop the 12 after the 3223 I.D. ... show more

  • Greatest Strings Ever Made
Size: super Style: 12 Pack
Been using these strings since I was 12. They are at the right price point for a case. Great quality. Sure, there are better strings out there, but they are gonna cost ya $$$$ and if you got more than 20 guitars, heh .... I like how they are packaged. They stretch in nice. Easy on my fingers. Greatest strings ever made .... I like the 2224's also, if I could find them by the case, I'd get em also. ... show more

  • Good strings ....misleading ad
Size: hybrid Style: 12 Pack
Ernie Ball strings are awesome! However if you order on this ad it shows 12 packs but you only get 6 and the ad doesnt clarify that!

  • What I play when I'm not experimenting
Size: super Style: 12 Pack
I have a few different guitars, and on some of them I switch up the strings and try out new brands & gauges, etc just to keep things fresh, but the one or two guitars that I play all the time and gig with have Ernie Ball 9-42s on them all the time. Strings are a personal thing: one kind might never break, but don't wear well because of the pH of your skin vs. the materials in the string alloy. Some might never seem to oxidize, but the high E string breaks every day. I find that these strings are a great balance for me. ... show more

  • Still the best
Size: super Style: 12 Pack
I have tried other brands and other gauges of guitar string. The best for me is Ernie Ball 2223 Nickel Super Slinky Guitar Strings. Great tone, great response and easy on my fingers. It doesn't matter if I put them on Gibson Les Paul, Fender Tele or any other guitar I own I know they will sound and play great. Buy Ernie Ball strings and you will be glad you did. ... show more

  • they are still a very good deal at the current price
I have been using these for years and I should have bought more when the price was lower than it is now. However, they are still a very good deal at the current price. These strings hold their tuning well and last particularly if you keep them clean. I change mine often as I play a lot but I did leave some on one of my guitars a long time just to see how long they would sound good and not break. I was quite amazed. So for anyone, a playing musician or a beginner, you can't go wrong. Check out the names of those that use them. Good srings, great price. ... show more
