    • The hybrid slinkys (09-46) are excellent fast playing string with a great tone

    • I got a deal on some GIBSON 'BRITE WIRES' w/same gauge .46-.09 and they lost their tone so quickly, they weren't worth buying

    • these strong's have great tone, only thing is
    • I really like these strings...switched over to nines on my Les Paul and it's much easier to perform with and less force required to make a nice tone and vibrato.
    • Love the tone and price.
    • These are giving me great tone and is still very playable
    • They don't last super long, but the tone is good for the price you pay.
    • Affordable strings with great tone
    • But hey! who needs bends when you get this fat tone from 11's ?
    • If I 'm using a specific guitar a lot (especially gigging and my bending)) I change strings sometimes every couple of days because they tend to develop a duller tone in a hurry
    • They're generally durable and reliable (don't seem to break too much versus other brands), and have great tone.
    • If you want some fat, sweet and lovely tone then these are perfect.
    • These are good strings, they have a good tone and I like them
    • These strings provide in my opinion, an ample tone and stretch for any type of music, any type of tuning
    • Full rich tones for your low strings and fast easy-playing on the higher.
    • The tone is so much richer and crisper than the stock strings
    • Great tone
    • They stay in tune better than any other string I've used, and the tone is nice and punchy.
    • These have a nice tone and sound great, they will last year's if you wipe them down after you play everytime
    • and I play the hell out of my Gibson Les Paul, great tone, long lasting and real Slinky; these strings are not for the faint of heart.
    • You can get a clear, precise tone, without a harsh sound.
    • And of course, with the classic bright, twangy tone of Ernie Balls, this set of strings is a must-have!
    • Good tone but hard on me finners.
    • Super Slinkys the sμ!t
    • Sweet Child O' Mine sounds great with these strings
    • 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
