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

    • Never done me wrong... except when the G string broke during setup.
    • Bought a 3 pack & all 3 #1 strings broke while tuning on two different guitars and a #2 string broke also on the Les Paul, JUNK strings
    • Bought a 3 pack and high E string broke within hours
    • And before I even tuned, and put enough tension to get close to D this new string broke too
    • Unfortunately my 6th string broke when installing it was a bit disappointed
    • Two strings broke came broke
    • I instantaneously noticed the difference when I restrung after a string broke
    • These electric guitar strings are bad mostly because they become dirty way too fast, even if you wash your hands every time before playing, I also find the tone from the strings go out after the first week of playing them and, twice I have had the strings break after just putting the strings on the guitar and leaving it on its stand
    • Bought a 3 pack and every time I tune the strings the strings broke
    • I will be buying these again when another string breaks (hopefully not too soon).
    • I assume it's not that common a problem, but the ball end on the high E string broke after about 2 weeks of relatively light playing.
    • I put on DRs two months ago only to have two strings break immediately (the original Gibson strings lasted two years, so most likely not my playing)
    • While putting them on my guitar out of the 3 packs of strings 1 a string broke and 2 high e strings BEFORE I EVEN TUNED!
    • My son bought these with his birthday money and the high e string broke as soon as he went to tune it and two other strings broke
    • never a problem with strings breaking, wipe you strings down after playing.
    • Had two high e strings break on me the first day I installed these
    • Super Slinkys the sμ!t
    • 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 E string broke while trying to tune guitar
    • The high E broke in a matter of days
    • Good as they get
    • Just fine as in fine
    • Strings broke as I was putting them on my guitar.
    • Normally love these strings, unfortunately each package had a weak string that broke as soon as it was mounted and tuned
    • I recommend using these only on your electric guitars as in my opinion, the strings are just too light to give off the sound you'd want when placed on an acoustic
    • The sound is OK but don't appreciate their feel as much as I do Fender's
    • cause the are so slinky and the tremlo string's do slide if their not put in right, Had to get more High E string's cause It broke as I was tuning
