Струны имеют классический мягкий тон.
Использую их на G&L Stratocaster с яркими звукоснимателями, а также на Telecaster со стальными ладами.
Крепкие, не рвутся, долго живут. Меняю в среднем 1 раз в полгода.

Great vintage sounds
Taborda 19.04.2020
After trying lots of different strings and brand combinations I ended up settling on switching between these and the Regular Slinky.

The pure nickel makes these strings sound warmer, rounder and fuller, less bright than regular strings. To my ears they are great for vintage sounds, which is what I tend to play the most.

They're also well priced, so changing strings regularly won't break the bank.

Could be better...
AlipAssorg 28.05.2018
I am a guitar player who sweats a LOT, and as such, by the end of a show, no matter how much i clean my guitar, the strings are already starting to feel oxidized, and dirty... so i started using D'Addario Pure Nickel, cause they sound warmer, have a little more tension, and last longer! I was really happy with them, but i've always been a ernie ball fan, so i had to try those. They were dead by the end of the first gig i did with them, wich is even less time than the regular slinkys used to last!!

Maybe i had a bad set and they are better than that... I don't know, but the experience i had was not so good. I'll stick to the D'Addario Pure Nickels.

Warm tones

Recommended for guitars with single coils or simply for anyone aiming for a warmer, fuller vintage sound than the brighter nickel/steel alloys that dominate the market. Also try the 8-38 gauge which is brilliant for teles.

Pure R'N'R sound
MB2 17.10.2019
After trying on numerous strings I've finally found the right ballanced strings for my LP.
Main advantage is perfect balancing of clear sound and mellow tones (in my opinion and taste).
Quality-wise I will be able to say more about liftime and durability after further use.

Good sound at a reasonable price.
BopAndJive 26.06.2022
I use them all the time because of their price vs sound relativity. They rarely break. For better sound, i use Elixir, but since they cost almost twice, I 'm not sure they're worth it. These are just as reliable and cost effective if you play all the time and change your strings often.

I like em
Pooticles 20.08.2024
I like these . Feel and sound good. Last long enough. I don't tend to break them with Ernie Balls on my guitars. Which is why I go back to them.

Great all around strings
JosGom94 14.05.2020
These have a good feel and last as much as any daddario or ernie ball slinkies, just feel different.
For their price, can't complain!

Nice classic tone
Andres K. 02.07.2017
Nice classic tone a you'd expect from Ernie Ball. Have noticed they last slightly less than other strings I have tried and can start "floating" tuning-wise in the end. But it might be just me.
