Buy them when the price is reduced. Be patient. Amazon always have specials and that’s the time to buy these 3 packs. Good sounding, long lasting strings.

I have had a top ‘E’ break after only a couple of hours playing but that is very rare and usually the fault of a sharp edge or rough fret on the guitar. Oddly I also seem to get a fair number of ‘A’ string breakages but I reckon that is more that particular guitar’s fault too.
these do sound lovely and jangly and fresh when first fitted but they lose that fairly quickly. For that reason and to minimise the chances of a breakage on stage, I have a two gig (three maximum) limit on my stage guitars for strings (not quite rich enough to have new strings every gig yet). All strings lose their vitality after a while and they are more likely to break the longer they are on the guitar particularly if you’re doing a lot of 1-step/1.5-step bends.
So, I like these strings and they are all I buy for my electric guitars. I think they are value for money but you do have to keep them fresh.
Strings are actually a big part of your sound and there’s little point in buying lovely, crisp, expensive pickups if you are going to leave the strings on forever.

Great strings. Only string I use for my electrics

These apparently are not packed in a protective atmosphere as I had these lying around in sealed packet for a year or so and although they sound ok they have several rust dots along them… So my advice is don’t buy in bulk unless you have a need to use them all relatively quickly like in an educational establishment or else they may develop rust spots that will affect how they play (not good on fingers with rough spots on the strings) and generate potential breakage points.

I’ve ordered 3 single and two triple packs of these strings from Amazon over the past year, and each time the packaging has been noticeably different – I kept the envelopes for comparison, there’s a marked difference in the strength of the red print and the hue of the paper, and my last triple pack now has a product code printed on the plastic sleeves for each set (non consecutive numbers). Also, one of the strings broke after a day of playing – for me, a rare occurrence. Unfortunately, the Ernie Ball website doesn’t offer much advice, fake strings are a thing, it would be nice if they offered a similar reference number check as D’Addario do. In future, I’ll be buying elsewhere – I just can’t trust this source. I’d be interested in hearing what other buyers think.

Guitar strings that are better quality than JB Hi Fi strings while also being cheaper than them for what that’s worth.

I’ve been playing with EB slinky string since I started gigging in 1981. I have been through phases of using Super Slinkys and Hybrid Slinkys, but I always come back to Regular Slinkys. They produce a good strong tone, but still allow for string bending. I play almost exclusively in standard tuning. Drop D enthusiasts may prefer the added bass beef of the Hybrids.
I have also used many other brands, but for whatever reason, EBs are still my go to, string of choice. I use the, on my Strat, my Tele and my Les Paul, all with good results.
I am also pleased that they do not break on me.
Always use fresh strings when you set up the guitar and change them regularly. Old strings will always sound dead and muddy, whichever make you choose.

Like BB King said to Billy Gibbons, “why work so hard?”

What can I say? It’s Ernie Ball. If you like tuning to concert pitch, having some good string purchase with some nice light and easy, intonation perfect, effortless action but, you still want at least some of that beefiness on your low end, then this is the gauge for you. Not the gauge I would use if I were down tuning or getting my Sabbath on but, more than just ”good enough” for the blues, good enough when I play along to my Punk or New Wave, Dead Kennedy’s, Iggy Pop, Pixies, Talking Heads, Devo, Roxy Music, Velvet Underground albums. Great for that Steve Albini brashness. Great for when I’m jamming to James Brown and Soul/Funk stuff. You may be surprised to hear but, I love the sound I get when playing Jazz, even Django and perfect for you Ska and Reggae fans. I’d go for a much lower gauge and a Hybrid gauge though if you want to play Josh Homme style and certainly if your Stinkin’, Fat lower end is more of a priority to you than a more shifty, easier movement and a more crispy, jagged sound that I am personally going for, at the moment at least.

Of course there are better guitar strings. But the cost of these, they prove to be great value. Smooth and responsive, Beng then to your hearts content. Not as long lasting so best to keep them clean too avoid corrosion.
