    I use them for a month
    I have a certain preference for the Ernie Ball but I find that the dean moin Brilliante markley.Elle my surprise by the clear sound quality because it has a good round and asser are correct for the distortion level metal asser heavy but precise.
    Keeping notes Vallent this but I want to test more games of the same type to make me a better idea.
    I think for rock of any kind they give plainement satisfaction but for the heavy rhythm is the 10/56 you!
    No regrets because these strings are excelentes, but pretty smooth new ropes fades too fast! A great value!

    I purchased this aprem the boards, and PRSS to get on my guitar.
    Breathtaking! I ssay a lot of string sets before, I had never found the game IDAL. Carrment better than my old Dean Markley, and I do not speak of my original string.

    The sound is clean gnial both in Disto: more sustain, more brilliance (and the strings), more harmonics, my sound warmer air!

    I am not advertising for Ernie Ball, but I assure you, they are a bit more expensive than other string sets but is well worth the effort.
    Qualitprix Report 10/10.
    The best strings I've ever had! Hsit I buy them but I do not regret my purchase.
    Long live Ernie Ball!

    I ride these ropes on my Stratocaster for ages.

    It's comfortable, you can make bends without forcing, a ring of truth, when it is bright enough not rinse.

    I recommend taking this for any guitar tune Fender. Indeed, this is what is standard (Regular Slinky), has meant that poverty has a lot going on around prs.

    After a few weeks of using strong, a lot less crystalline sounds, it's time to change the strings!

    I have tried other brands for electric scraper (not the type of Elixir strings), but I prfre this brand to others, they suit me better.

    Please note even when I made the bends, I do rhythm in 10 years Stratocaster, I have not broken a string while I attack when even a littl…

    - I use them for several days. But honestly, it's been 5 months that I simply had no chang (I had Ernie Ball 10-52).

    -I find this string is very good because I slipped on my fretboard like a patient, the sound is prcis, and despite this drawing, you do what you want without the dtruire fingers.
    What I like about you? For now, NOTHING, I collect t of the Ernie Ball.

    - I tried other models (10/9-46, 10-52) in several brands, and honestly, it is the best quality at the point of view (excellent) and price !

    -As I said, a really excellent quality for a price ranging from 5 to 6, which is nothing compared to other brands.

    I bought them one month ago. Before I was using D'addario EXL 125 and I can tell you that the price difference of 2 euros is worth it.

    I bought a month ago, before the D'addario EXL125 javais of pulling and even I can tell you that for € 2 more in my music store, the difference is

    Touch incredible, brilliant highs, clear, its obvious lack of bass strings but they are suited to my game, meaning you punk
    Obviously a metalhead wanting to avoid making the Drop D

    So I think I will take these strings as they really satisfied me

    I played in 9 / 42 and went on shooting still at Ernie Ball, it sounds to me no problem, the squicks (dplacement sound of the strings) are not louder than elsewhere and Longva face of such DM is not challenging ...

    For those who break them, often not knowing it is properly installed ropes and then if you change your tuning every day to play a particular song is also making use finally to the loss of the cot "brilliant" It does not change much but hey if you make so important aesthetics put gold leaf ...

    "I use these strings for almost two years.

    -What I like about them is they unppluged great people.

    -Before I put the Dean Markley because in the store closest to me it was only he and one day as a jsuis go to another store and I was taken as a and now I n 'uses it. I use them in drop D (r and C (do) to make mtal (black).

    The price-quality ratio is optimal for 9 euros is the best 50 strings.

    -It is sure that she repeat the choice without doing a eSite dja two years that I do.

    What I like most is the sound DEFINITIONS, really enjoyable, and powerful prcise, although dynamic, but also, in addition to the quality that incredible comfort a. In the first game you feel really comfortable, agreements enchainent dlicatement, without much Ffort without burning your fingers (see: Dean Markley "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEE> _ <" after a APRS noon good game). The game solo is simply the most enjoyable I test techniques with a legato enchainent dconcertante ease, tapping is also carried out aisment.
    What I like least is when my store has more Ernie Ball 10-52 and I gotta tapper of Dean Markley ...

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    I did a year Elexis (RAM jett money by the windows, but I did not test anything right now l), I pass by Dean Markley (standard), then my luthier told me to pull the Ernie Ball 10-52. I really apprci even if I hurt your hands first, I got accustomed to. As I said above I alternated with Dean Markley more by obligation than desire, I had never not such a big diffrence in quality since I am also pass on 10-52 deuxime my guitar. First I install the Dean Markley this dernire that left me a bad feeling trs sensation level (I thought the same as c'tait of vibrato saw my first re did not), then switch back to Ernie Ball I by the bluff t his is the sensation, everything seems so simple for such a beautiful sound ...

    - How do you report qualitprix?
    6.95 play rope Jericho Lille (they have a website if you want verrifier), in the eyes of the quality and time that I could pass play by feeling as much fun, I would say all it's simply THE best quality price.

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
    I do it again for 5 years in which this dernire anne continuously with 2 sets of line per month (one of my guitars chaqune) because the price you can afford it frankly, but especially for quality that I do that. In fact I think to buy a pack of 10 sets of strings at once to be quiet a moment ...

    For the person who had a problem fairly quickly, yes it must be frankly dfaillant a game, because it never happened to me personally.

    I also break trs little, which is good for the wallet and catch up a little price.
    I would do this choice;)

    I use these strings for my tuning as follows
    I drop all the strings of half tone and the largest decline in a string of your

    That said, I play in drop C # and the set of strings is optimal for this tuning in rhythmic (under the guidance of a luthier).
    The 3rd string is not file even though it is rather large (initial "p" -> Pounded).
    I test the Not Even Slinky, a notch above even the o is certainly playable but still taut (bend hard).

    Their sound is neutral, Resistors good as the breaking of rope is trs trs rare (plutt knowing that I have a big attack).

    Used for 3 months
    The Ernie Ball strings are of outstanding quality
    The student is taking to gain precision goldsmith
    Compared to lower the firing sounds and riffs solos are sharp
    Despite this damage the finger the strings when you start but good must not cry either (we play metal, nothing without AC!)
    In short BANISSER the "Dean Markley" or another brand if you play metal
    because since I play Ernie I have made great strides
