Review: Great strings and fast delivery - Great strings and good price.
Review: great strings - For years, I've played 8s, but I want to move up to 9s in the hope of a slightly thicker sound, so bought these as a stepping stone. They play great. I can feel the difference, but that's good because I didn't know if I would. I play virtually every day, and after two weeks, they still sound as bright as the day I changed them, and they still feel as silky smooth. Terrific strings.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are these ranked #1 in the category "Fishing" ?**
A: When a company puts a product in some obscure category, they can get the "best seller" icon when they inevitably get more sales than the other products in that category. That's how you end up searching for something like "guitar strings", and multiple products show up as the #1 seller. Why Amazon still allows this after all these years, I will never know.

**Q: Do all 6 strings come in the "1 pack"?**
A: If you note on the front of the package, it has a list of numbers (10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46 on the "Regular Slinky" set, and similar on others). These are the string gauges included in the pack. If there were only one string in the pack, it would list a single number, because you'd have to know which string it was.

**Q: what is the difference between slinky and non slinky?**
A: Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set).

**Q: I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?**
A: Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great strings

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am brand loyal
*by T***Y on 11 January 2026*

I am and always will be brand loyal to Ernie Ball. Great strings. They work for both standard and drop-d tunings with enough tension in them to keep off the frets. They didn’t fit in the nut initially but a few runs back and forth on the low end will break down the look. They lasted about 6 days from string to string breakage although I do play a lot and pretty hard but if that’s your concern get some titanium coated or para digm.
