    Ernie Ball Classic Pure Nickel Regular Slinky Set, .010 - .046

    • You can bend them to pluto and back, and they don't lose their tuning.
    • where close to being in tune or even sharp.
    • 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
    • I prefer 10s tuned down a half step, but playing with others is easier in standard tuning
    • 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
    • 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
    • The high E broke while I was trying to put it on, and the G and B strings feel extremely fragile
