  • Ernie Ball Rides to the Top
Color: Extra (8-38) Size: 3-Pack
These strings are consistent and last a long time with proper care and maintenance. I'd compare them to ANY other strings out there for quality and especially the price. I buy the three pack and save a lot of money. Plus, they sound great on my Strat, Streamliner Jet and my Telecaster semi hollow body. The clarity and tone are very bright and the sustain is remarkable. I love the nickel coated steel strings because of their flexibility and ability to hold tune. ... show more

  • Good strings for dummies
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3-Pack
These are my most favorite strings by far, i've tried their standard and super slinky's and I put these on every guitar I use. I own a lot of guitars with high action and these strings make it so much easier to play on high action guitars due to their smaller size so I'd recommend these for those with high action. They have good durability, never had to fear snapping the high E when tuning this. It's easy to put on and off unlike some strings. They have more of a brighter sound to them, wouldn't use them for darker songs or low riffs unless you're some professional that can pull it off. The packaging is really nice too and I like how they put each string separate for dummies like me that can't tell them apart by default. ... show more

I always trust Ernie Ball guitar strings. They've never let me down in all my years of using them. They sound great and are durable. I highly recommend these strings. Try em out you won't be disappointed.

  • quality and price
Color: Extra (8-38) Size: 3-Pack
excellent strings, light and east to bend, more comfortable than heavier strings, nickel makes playing easy. surprisingly they stay in tune longer than expected.

  • Awesome strings.
Color: Regular (10-46) Size: Single Pack
These are great strings. Hold up well and have awesome sound quality. I've restrung two guitars with these. Won't get any other strings from now on.

  • good strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: Single Pack
This is not the brand of choice for the guitarist in the family, but they are certainly very good strings and would buy them again. The user is very old school retro, and only changes strings upon breakage. Generally the guitar is played through a plethora of pedals, so opinions on clarity and brightness are pointless. Sorry Ernie. ... show more

  • Great, cheap strings for beginners (and maybe pros too?)
Color: Regular (10-46) Size: 3-Pack
I started playing the guitar 3 months ago. I bought one that’s suitable for beginners at my local music shop and have been using that ever since. I try to practice whenever I can, usually in the evenings after the kids have had dinner. It can be distracting if they’re being hyper (my 4 & 6 year olds never seem to run out of energy), but it’s the only time I can really play. My fingers would hurt but I thought it was just a matter of having to get used to it. Well that problem never went away so I did some research and found out that it might be due to my strings. I asked my guitar instructor for some recommendations and he told me to get these strings. He also told me about these earplugs which help filter out background noise so I can focus - they actually do seem to help. Anyways I tried to get these strings locally but they didn’t have it at the store that I usually go to so I bought it online from amazon. I don’t have prime membership so it took a few days to get here but I was okay with that since I managed to get it while it was on sale. One pack comes with three sets and I got it for under $15 so I feel like I got a pretty good deal. I’ve never bought any type of guitar string before aside from the ones that came with my instrument so I can’t compare them that well with others but from what I can tell the quality is great. I also noticed on the packaging that it’s made in the USA so that’s always a good sign. It took me a little while to switch the strings but that’s just me being an amateur and has nothing to do with the actual product. Once I put them on, they had a nice balanced sound. There’s a noticeable difference on how they feel compared to the old ones I had. It makes such a big difference when I’m practicing…my fingers don’t hurt nearly as bad. People say that they also produce a better tone and I believe it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the packaging. The neon yellow color is nice but each set comes in a plastic bag that you have to tear apart. It’s not a zip lock design or anything so you’re kind of forced to use all of the strings at once once you’ve opened them. This wasn’t a problem for me since I was replacing all of mine anyway but I can see how it can be annoying for someone who only wants to replace one. You’d need to find a secure place to put it or something. Overall however I am still happy with my purchase. I was worried that guitar strings would be expensive but fortunately that wasn’t the case and they’re actually pretty affordable. I don’t know how long these ones will last me but if everything is good I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pack when I have to. Would I recommend them? Yes…but I’m not sure I’m in a position to actually recommend anything yet. There are probably a lot more people out there who know more about these products than me. From my experience so far however, they work great. ... show more
