    Ernie Ball Power Slinky Nickel Wound Set, .011 - .048

    • Sound is not good and last e string just broken after tune
    • Furthermore, they are affordable, so if you break your High E, it is worth putting another set on, as opposed to the one string
    • High E breaks long before they should
    • I bought a set over the summer to put on after breaking yet another E string bending too hard
    • high e string broke...
    • 2/3 high e strings broke on initial stringing
    • The G (gauge 16) is single-strand nickel-plated steel, like the B and top E, so light and bendable
    • Perfect for dropped B tuning, and works just fine in standard tuning (although at a half-step higher you risk breaking the high E with some frequency).
    • After tuning the guitar up, I snipped the excess from the tuning heads and booom the high E comes off and almost rips my eye out in the process
    • A good tip is to use a light, bendy plectrum, which is pretty much essential for the top E (gauge 9).One caution: these strings are very stretchy and take a few hours to ‘bed in’ during which they go out of tune easily, especially the top two, so best not to fit them immediately prior to a performance

    • The high E broke in a matter of days
