A few months ... Since I will not let go

Yes, a certain amount

With what (s) guitar (s) do you use?

A Jackson Dinky with JS32R Foyd Rose and a Squier Stratocaster, for now ... ^ ^

What thing do you like most/least about it?

What I like most: that life, quality, sound, 10/46 drawing, which is perfect for rhythm or solos, especially the playability is perfect
what I like least: is the brightness of the strings that relatively quickly, but it is a detail from others, it does not play on the sound quality

What is your opinion about the value for the price?

A bit expensive in stores, I recommend to buy on the internet

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

Without hesitation, I probably would not change a string of ever ...

For how long have you been using it?
I use these strings for 2 months and I am a new guitarist since!

What thing do you like most/least about it?
I love the thick ropes to the rhythmic and small for solos. It's really ideal for me, I play progressive metal tendencies and I'm only a guitarist for the rhythm parts while the thick ropes have a high output and perfectly round, then for small solo strings are easy and they bender release a high quality outstanding!

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I try many different models of strings on different guitars and also since I played with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 9-46, I put on all my electric guitars and they give a perfect finish on both a Jackson Dinky DXMG, Esp-Ltd M-50, Fender Telecaster Thinline, Kramer and even on my first guitar, a Yamaha Pacifica 112.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
For about $ 7, I'll have to buy me before!

I do not emerge with the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky 9-46.

These strings are great. Nice crisp, clear, and strong tone. They're great for everything from country to metal as long as you put them on the right guitar. The treble strings are bright, but not overly bright. The bass strings are warm, but still crisp and punchy. They have great punch and a nice, full, and rounded sound on all of the strings. They have a great feel and are not floppy at all in E standard or drop D. They are a bit floppy in D standard and Drop C, but they're still usable. They're very easy to string, and very easy to fret. They are super easy to bend as well. They keep their tone for 2-4 weeks depending on how often you play, how much you sweat, and the humidity levels where you normally keep your guitar(s). High humidity and being near salt water would make your strings lose their tone much faster. I used to use GHS strings, but then I started looking for different strings to use since I was not happy with them. They were poor quality and did not sound too good. I have been using Ernie Ball strings for 2 years and I haven't looked back since changed. I've only broken a handful of strings the entire time I have been using them. The only reason they broke was I had a burr on my low E's saddle. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with them breaking. Since I switched from GHS, I won't use any other strings now. They're the best quality and tone for the price in my opinion, and one of the best string makers around. Ernie Ball are known for makers of quality, great sounding strings, and that's exactly what you get when you buy these.
