Ernie Ball 2227

Bought these to compare to Power Slinky's on my Jazzmaster.

With the vintage style floating tremolo system I was on the look out for strings that could provide the tension and tuning stability of .11's but with more flexibility on the higher strings for easier bends and lead playing.

Happy to report that these do the job perfectly.

For over 20 years i've tried what some call the best strings ever. Won't name names but I've always come back to ernie. You just can't beat the durability and overall capability of these strings. I have several tunings and for each a proper caliber that ernie produces and never fails to surprise me how well they calibrate the string gauges for every possible tuning and comfort/playability depending on how you feel and play. Ernie Ball for life.

To me, they're a good choice if you play in standard tuning and are used to 10s but want a bit more tension on the lower strings. Which helps if you occasionaly have to trop the low string down to D

Good strings but i prefer the regular slinky. They are not bad at all but because i have tried so many strings the regular slinky are the best for me!

Nice to change a bit from the regular slinky and get a bit more tight bass.
I think I will stick to it

The Ibanez semi-hollow I have is just about perfect in every way but came set up for (and wearing) Skinny Tops/Heavy Bottoms (actually D'Addario equivalent) which are great but I felt I needed slightly more manageable E,A and D strings, which is where these come in! The guitar feels ten times more fluid and the sound has opened out nicely. A great addition.

This is the set I take when sometimes I get bored with my standard 10-52 set and I want to get a lighter feel

love the extra heft that the heavier gauge gives and the sound is top notch

Really enjoying this set, have them in three of my Jazzmasters, tight 48 but clear and slinky, unlike 10-52 which with lower strings can be a be dull sometimes, maybe! - regardless 10-48 is my new 10s

Good strings. Thanks again for your
