Quality:
I've heard that all strings no matter what brand are made by one or 2 company's but out of all the strings i've tryed these feel the best to me.

Value:
shop around and buy them by the dozen and you can find them just over 3 bucks a pack. Best value imo

Sound:
this is the all time american classic string. They sound and play well after you break them in a bit. One set last about two gigs if i'm lucky but thats the way it is with most strings.

Ease of Use:
put them on a wail

Support:
no need

Overall:
been useing Ernie ball strings forever 30+ years and there's no need to switch for they play and sound as good as anything out there and the price is right if you shop around a bit.

They take a few days to keep in tune but I have an old guitar so thats expected. Once they have adjusted I find them to be a lead guitarists dream. Thin and easy to bend but wont break unless your trying to break them.

"Slinky Dinky"

Overall:: 5 out of 10
Sound:: 8 out of 10

Submitted: 10/28/2005

Quality:
They go from crisp to dull in about two weeks from regular play (about an hour a day), and I've had more than a few break while simply putting them on; a problem I havn't had with my usual brand.

Sound:
Not bad. They make sound, and it sounds like a guitar. Hasn't brought out the tone in mine the way other strings do, but they aren't exactly shostrings, either. They seem to lose their brightness rather quickly in my experience.

Quality:
these are the far worst strings i've ever played in my life, quality is ridiculous. These things last only for a few days, and few days it takes just to keep it in tune!! Ok, so for a few days, these things are smooth and silky for awhile, then the b string starts to corrode like hell!

Value:
good value! ...for such a cheap product.

Sound:
hmm.. lets see, sounds are very nice to be honest. But i have more to say...

Support:
hmmm.. thank you for having these stupid bands at the back so we can buy your cheap product, i give a ten for a 'trying' support.

Overall:
I SAY CONVERT TO DEAN MARKLEYS!!!
