Author's Review
The first set of strings I've ever bought was Ernie Ball regular Slinky. I was not impressed, but continued to buy them because I didn't know the difference, and they were cheap. These string take a LONG time to 'get used' to your guitar, and they are not particularly good for anything but slide-style guitar work. They break really easily when being bent, especially the 2+3 strings. The 10 gauge isn't a light string, yet it still breaks every time you tune the bottom string withing 2 hrs of replacing it. These strings are not something I would every buy. The sound they produce isnt rich, it's shallow and bare. They lack intone and take away sound qaulity from any guitar. I recommend DR Strings, or Les Paul Strigs. One Thing I do like is that the strings sound good when you do slide playing, and they provide for fast-action on a guitar with a thin neck, like a Les Paul. They posses speed, not depth or quality. You will save money by buying more expensive strings and not breaking one every day. I am not a thrasher, screamo guitarist and these strings sure dont adapt to and accustom to your guitar; Especially if you like to rock out and play hard. 1 additional detail is that I play with a Dunlop Tortex guitar pick, .60mm Standard. I recommend a softer action, higher in tone string. No Matter what your taste, a shallow sound and low durability generally isn't desirable. I suggest anything else, and my deepest dislike for these strings. Ask most guitar and bass players. They WON'T Recommend these strings. (Unless they work at guitar center) So please abide by my advice. Good luck.
