"Earnie Ball Extra Slinky Strings"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Been using these exclusively since 1982. That's thirty years on the professional level and I've had no reason to try anything else. They tune up fast, stay in tune, last as long as you need them (up to a year once), are consistant from pack to pack, and have a balanced full sound. Best deal on strings in the industry.

Ordered these along with 12 string 8s for my double neck last night, have them on my guitar today, and Slinky's always deliver great sound.

I've tried all kinds of strings but I always come back to these.
Sound
Very bright for blues or country, but by tweaking your gear you can get great rock tones too!
