"Ernie Ball Slinky strings beat the bullets!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

I am relative beginner, so I was looking to try other light strings on strat. I was pleasantly surprised, strings are strings, right? Very nice sound, seem better than Fender bullets on my Strat. Better sustain and clearer sound when bending.

Feature:

Bend easier then bullets, more "ringy'er" tone, hold notes longer.

Value:

Hard to be at $4 a pack.

Overall:

So far, these strings beat the bullets, I wouldn't have expected this. But I have 3 or 4 other types to try - one at each string change.

"THE ALL TIME GREATEST, "LORD OF THE STRINGS""

Sound:

excellent, pure crisp true tone. just great, really great

Feature:

well, strings really don't have any accessories, but they are really smooth and fast to play

Quality:

lasted great, I took them off my one guitar(which theyve been on 2 months), and put them on a totally different guitar, and they sound just as good as new!

Manufacturer Support:

well, Ernie Ball is called, "Lord of the Strings", need I say more?

Value:

At three bucks a pop, buy like 10 packs, trust me, you'll love em

The Wow Factor:

Once u play em on another guitar, you'll long for them on yours till u have them

Overall:

I may try another brand, only just to see if theyre n e good, Gibson n Fender suck, so alls that left is D'Addario. But believe me when i say, i always play EB super slinkys

Style of Music: Just about anything - except country (can't stand the drawly vocals!)

"Pure Garbage - Ain't worth the metal they're made of"

Sound:

theses strings die almost instantly

Quality:

Very inconsistant manufacturing. Expect to adjust any bridge you put them on.

Value:

At least they are dirt cheap

Overall:

If you care about the sound of your guitar at all, buy almost anything else to string it up with. Twine, fishing line, and kite string undoubtedly sound better.
