Ernie Ball Primo Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 9.5-44 Gauge (P02212)

If you have ever wanted to get CRAZY bends I cannot recommend 7 gauge strings enough. I use these for standard, D sharp, D standard, and I even use these on my 7 string guitars and just add a 52 or 54 for the low B string and they work amazingly well. Low effort for fretting and bending. I have yet to break any strings yet which was a fear. Originally I had bought them to use on a guitar with a Floyd rose thinking (less string tension=less spring tension, ease of playing, and a extremely expressive tremolo feel) I can 100% say that my Floyd equipped guitars are effortless to play and flutter for days with a flick of my pinky and that includes my 7 strings. I had a million people tell me they were to light of a gauge for down tuning (I play tech death (Nile, necrophagist, revocation)) well all those people have now played my guitars and are considering going with this route now and not fighting their guitar instead of enjoying it and playing the hell out of it. I’ve noticed that the lighter gauges also give a tighter sound especially in the low end since it doesn’t take a lot to get the strings moving and they aren’t taking up all your energy or picking real estate. The ONLY things I can think of that I would like to see that isn’t available as far as I know, would be a coated set since I have xenomorph sweat, and if they swapped a couple strings around (9 for a 9.5, 13 for a 12, 20 for a 18w) that would make it a 100% balanced set and I’d love to see all this revisions above put in a 7 string set and then just add a 52 or a 54 for the low B string so I could quit buying a whole other set just to use the 52 and throw the other 5 strings away.

excellent strings, light and east to bend, more comfortable than heavier strings, nickel makes playing easy. surprisingly they stay in tune longer than expected.

These are my most favorite strings by far, i've tried their standard and super slinky's and I put these on every guitar I use. I own a lot of guitars with high action and these strings make it so much easier to play on high action guitars due to their smaller size so I'd recommend these for those with high action. They have good durability, never had to fear snapping the high E when tuning this. It's easy to put on and off unlike some strings. They have more of a brighter sound to them, wouldn't use them for darker songs or low riffs unless you're some professional that can pull it off. The packaging is really nice too and I like how they put each string separate for dummies like me that can't tell them apart by default.

I started playing the guitar 3 months ago. I bought one that’s suitable for beginners at my local music shop and have been using that ever since. I try to practice whenever I can, usually in the evenings after the kids have had dinner. It can be distracting if they’re being hyper (my 4 & 6 year olds never seem to run out of energy), but it’s the only time I can really play. My fingers would hurt but I thought it was just a matter of having to get used to it. Well that problem never went away so I did some research and found out that it might be due to my strings. I asked my guitar instructor for some recommendations and he told me to get these strings. He also told me about these earplugs which help filter out background noise so I can focus - they actually do seem to help. Anyways I tried to get these strings locally but they didn’t have it at the store that I usually go to so I bought it online from amazon. I don’t have prime membership so it took a few days to get here but I was okay with that since I managed to get it while it was on sale. One pack comes with three sets and I got it for under $15 so I feel like I got a pretty good deal. I’ve never bought any type of guitar string before aside from the ones that came with my instrument so I can’t compare them that well with others but from what I can tell the quality is great. I also noticed on the packaging that it’s made in the USA so that’s always a good sign. It took me a little while to switch the strings but that’s just me being an amateur and has nothing to do with the actual product. Once I put them on, they had a nice balanced sound. There’s a noticeable difference on how they feel compared to the old ones I had. It makes such a big difference when I’m practicing…my fingers don’t hurt nearly as bad. People say that they also produce a better tone and I believe it. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the packaging. The neon yellow color is nice but each set comes in a plastic bag that you have to tear apart. It’s not a zip lock design or anything so you’re kind of forced to use all of the strings at once once you’ve opened them. This wasn’t a problem for me since I was replacing all of mine anyway but I can see how it can be annoying for someone who only wants to replace one. You’d need to find a secure place to put it or something. Overall however I am still happy with my purchase. I was worried that guitar strings would be expensive but fortunately that wasn’t the case and they’re actually pretty affordable. I don’t know how long these ones will last me but if everything is good I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pack when I have to. Would I recommend them? Yes…but I’m not sure I’m in a position to actually recommend anything yet. There are probably a lot more people out there who know more about these products than me. From my experience so far however, they work great.

The strings are durable, went on smoothly, and sound amazing. I had to research first to make sure they were correct, and they were. I have a Strat if that helps anyone! Bending wasn’t easy around the post, if you’re changing them yourself a good pair of wire cutters is something you’ll definitely need!

Not bad for its price, but D Dario is better

I've been playing for 45 years and used 10's for most of that time, but age started to catch up with me and I switched to 9.5's about 10 years ago. But I needed to go lighter, so I decided to give these a try. I was worried that with the lower tension I'd have to raise my action to avoid buzzing, but no, it wasn't necessary. I'm putting them on all my 25.5" scale electrics, and will be dropping from 10's to 9's on the ones with a 24.75" scale. These strings are incredibly easy to play and sound great. It takes maybe a day or two more of playing for the intonation to settle in (though you can get around that by spending some time stretching them manually).

The only kind of string my husband gets and he loves them. I sit with him while he will change out his guitar strings and am amazed how incredible they sound. You can definitely tell a difference from other brands compared to this. They have a nice crisp sound and are perfect.

works great.

Questa secondo me è la miglior scalatura di corde, permette dei banding “estremi”, senza rinunciare al punch delle corde più grosse

ドロップDとかいうんでしたっけ？？ まぁとにかく、モトリークルーとか１音下げが標準なものを練習するのに普通の09-42とかではだるんだるんになりますので、これくらいの太さがよいですね。音も当然太くなるし、いいことだらけ。１音下げてるからテンションもそれほどきつくなりません。１音下げのおともに。

昨今、ドロップチューニングやダウンチューニングと採用されてるバンドもコピー、オリジナル問わず増えてきてるなか各弦のゲージバランスが最も良いです。 特にA#ドロップに最適かと。 何より値段ですよね。 音も満足してこの価格ですから。

Uso queste corde da un po’ e sono sempre una garanzia. Le Ernie Ball Super Slinky sono perfette se vuoi qualcosa di facile da suonare, soprattutto se non hai dita da gigante 😅 🎸 Cosa mi piace: • Morbide al tatto: fare gli accordi e i bending (tirare la corda) è facilissimo. Non ti fanno male le dita nemmeno dopo tanto tempo. • Suono chiaro e brillante: ogni nota si sente bene e suonano bene sia quando vai leggero sia quando spingi un po’ di più. • Durano il giusto: non si arrugginiscono subito e tengono l’accordatura abbastanza bene. ⚠️ Un paio di cose da sapere: • Se pesti forte quando suoni, magari ti conviene provare un set un po’ più spesso. • Non sono “magiche”, ma per quanto costano, fanno più del loro dovere. ✅ In conclusione: Comode, economiche e perfette per chi vuole suonare con leggerezza. Se sei alle prime armi o se vuoi corde semplici e affidabili, vai tranquillo: queste non deludono mai.
