    • I always use Super Slinky
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
Perfect strings. Sound great. Easy to play. Bending notes is easy. Stays new for a long time. Good value. My main brand and size for 30 years.

    • Classics. Sound and feel great.
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
I started using Super Slinkys in 1994, and I've moved up to 10s and down to 8s, and occasionally other brands... but I keep coming back to these. Great life in these things, they feel great. Good tone. No problems.

    • Everyday Strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 4-Pack Style: 4-Pack
I use slinkies for my project guitars and others that I will burn through strings. They're inexpensive, but a great value for the money, as they are solid as can be. Nickel wrapped steel gives a nice clarity and brightness to a warm nickel sound, so these can cover quite a few musical bases.

    • My favorite strings for my Strat, flexible and awesome pitch
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
This string set is light gages, which I prefer. They flax well, produce clean sharp tones and are easy on the fingers. Even with extreme bends, they return to true.

    • As Good as it Gets IMHO
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
A top brand, super consistent. As good as strings can get IMHO. Beware though, I’ve received fake EB strings from major online retailers, so use the internet to tell you how to spot fakes, check your string (the telltales are usually in/on the packaging), and if they’re fake, return them and report to Amazon. If you don’t, we can’t stop fakes. ... show more

    • Great guitar strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
These are great guitar strings. I personally love these, and I think they're of great quality. I got a 3 pack, and have gone through two: one on a brand new Stratocaster, and one on a vintage 60's Kent Lido. Both have held up amazingly, and sound really good. The package doesn't lie: They are slinky, but just the right amount. I'm able to comfortably pull off bends. I'm also able to tune from E standard to drop D and not have to retune almost at all, which is nice. ... show more

    • Decent strings
Color: Super (9-42) Size: 3 Pack Style: 3-Pack
Moved to these after playing Daddarios for years. These seem to be less buzzy and last longer. They stay in tune pretty well from heavy bending. They're good enough that I've ordered them more than once.
