Reviews around slinky (5.00 of 5)

  • Less expensive than nickel sets by DR or D'Addario and every bit as good (if not better!), the Ernie Ball Classic Rock N' Roll Slinkys are the BEST strings for playing hot guitar, jazz, country, and rhythm & blues
  • Beside the Extra Slinky and the Regular Slinky, the Super Slinky is part of the original Ernie Ball range
  • I'm really enjoying the hybrid slinky strings on my squier strat!
  • I usually use ernie ball on my electrics, Super slinky on the strat and regular on the gibson

Reviews around tone (4.30 of 5)

  • The high E broke while I was trying to put it on, and the G and B strings feel extremely fragile
  • I just like the classic tone and especially the fact that they are less bright than steel wound strings.
  • Great strings for my John Mayer Stratocaster, amazing "thick" bluesy tone like Mayer and smooth feel.
  • This really delivers great tone for a decent amount of time.
  • Modern Slinkys have higher steel content & brighter tone, these are mellower

Reviews around sound (4.28 of 5)

  • I would really recommend these for blues rock players for the amazing sound and the nickel plating is really easy on the fingers.
  • These strings sound crisper than any other electric guitar string I've ever used
  • These guitar strings are very nice sounding, but they break easily
  • I like pure nickel sound and a softer feel to my strings.
  • I've been experimenting for awhile with strings, and these are excellent, very good well rounded sound for classic rock, blues rock, and a very general tone

Reviews around tune (4.21 of 5)

  • It didn't take long to stretch them out and get a reliable tune, and being the first time I've experimented with power gauge strings, I really enjoy the more rhythmic riffs for country or jazz, open hand, slap patterns, and the extra umph makes my rhythms sound a lot more concise
  • I started the quest to find a string that I could bend beyond the limits that most would and keep tune as well as not break
  • Less expensive than nickel sets by DR or D'Addario and every bit as good (if not better!), the Ernie Ball Classic Rock N' Roll Slinkys are the BEST strings for playing hot guitar, jazz, country, and rhythm & blues
  • You can bend them to pluto and back, and they don't lose their tuning.
  • I prefer 10s tuned down a half step, but playing with others is easier in standard tuning

Reviews around rock (4.03 of 5)

  • They do not last particularly long, but the hold their tuning well and sound ridiculously awesome when amped up for classic rock and hard rock on a Strat or SG.
  • I've been experimenting for awhile with strings, and these are excellent, very good well rounded sound for classic rock, blues rock, and a very general tone
  • I play primarily classic rock and my tones are slightly to mostly distorted much of the time.
  • Less expensive than nickel sets by DR or D'Addario and every bit as good (if not better!), the Ernie Ball Classic Rock N' Roll Slinkys are the BEST strings for playing hot guitar, jazz, country, and rhythm & blues
  • Teamed with a Les Paul and a Marshall Bluesbreaker they give you that classic rock sound
