Sound: well, they're thick strings, good for de-tuning I guess??? Feature: if they came with a string winder, it would be great. Ease of Use: thick and noisy, just how I like it! Quality: my last set lasted me about 2-3 months, and I kept goingfrom drop b to standard then drop a then drop b then drop cthen standard again then drop d, etc..... Value: great value Manufacturer Support: didn't need to The Wow Factor: if you like playing drop tuned songs, these are the strings for you. Overall: I love these string, I got a pack of ten a year ago and only used TWO sets. These are also good to do dive-bombs, cause the set I used before these broke the b and high e string.

Ernie Ball has the king of strings.... it doesnt matter what music you play... they have a string for you Value: i buy them at a little guitar shop for $8... and i dont mind paying that for strings because they REALLY last..... Manufacturer Support: never needed to complain... Overall: Its Ernie Ball.. nuff said...

Overall: These are good string but beware.. Every 3rd set of strings put on a set of regular 10-46 or 11-48.REASON BEING: The uneven tension between the Skinny top, and the Heavy Bottom WILL and I repeat WILL IN FACT twist your guitars neck.. Your guitar needs a break from these every few sets. I suggest every two or so. BUT don't get me wrong these strings rock. Just keep in mind, these are very bad for your neck.

Sound: when im practicing i basically play slayer and metallica, youll have a crap load of fun with these strings if your into that, i can also get that chunky bottom end,sledge hammer pantera sound now that i wasnt getting at all with the generic strings that came with my guitar Feature: um well, there strings, i guess they slide pretty good. Ease of Use: for metal riffs these stings make life alot easier, believe me, kick ars for metal riffs Overall: i think these strings make a guitar alot more versatile, e a and d are gonna feel thicker, which is better, g b and e are gonna feel like fishing fire which is way beter for fast solos.

Sound: Just your regular old EB strings. Sound fine to me. Feature: (Kind of an odd category for strings)...Only one other produst like it: D'Addario EXL140s (10-52). I love the feel of high 10s, but not on my low E, A, and D strings. They're perfect for me. Quality: Well, I love EB strings. They hold up well for me. These are no exception. Value: See all above comments - I LOVE SLINKYS! Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with 'em... The Wow Factor: Again, kind of bizarre. Silnkys all have cool, retro packaging, and the strings are so soft (?) and "slinky." Overall: Just all in all great strings. Need I say more?

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
