Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Paradigm Electric Guitar Strings - High Quality, Durable, and Responsive Tone

Bob Rasch: Been using Cobalt strings and love them, tried Paradigm out of curiosity and was impressed by their clarity. I will be switching over to them.

Shane Saiyan: Been using Paradigms since they were first released, and I don't think I'll ever go back. They keep their sound so much longer than normal strings, and they're extremely difficult to break. Also if you're looking for a good set for Drop B tuning on a 25.5"-28" scale guitar, give these a whirl, as that's what I use 'em for.

LWKeepingLWKeeping: When I first began playing the guitar as a child more than 20 years ago, I looked up to my older brother, who exclusively used Ernie Ball Slinky guitar strings. Naturally, I wanted to be as good as him, so I followed suit and used those strings too. I stuck with Slinkys for about a decade until I switched to Elixir strings. The reason for the switch was that Elixir strings lasted longer, so I paid the premium solely for that reason.

Since then, I've experimented with various other string brands, all of which claimed to last longer but ultimately fell short in some way. I was hesitant to try the Paradigm strings, given my previous experiences. Now, I'm not typically sentimental, but just opening the package with the prominent "Ernie Ball" logo on it brought back memories of my older brother teaching me how to change my strings. It also reminded me of the sense of achievement I felt when I could do it on my own without his assistance.

I've purchased three sets of the Paradigm strings so far, and I plan to eventually buy several more for the rest of my arsenal. Even if they don't last as long as Elixir's (although I'm confident they will), my loyalty...

bfl2125: Well let’s face it Ernie ball strings are to me the best out there. I have been using Ernie ball strings for about 27 years or so and have definitely tried other strings but they never compared to Ernie ball. They last longer, stay in tune(Which also has a lot to do with the particular guitar your playing) they don’t brake and a good price point. With a better tensile strength and a better fatigue strength and using the Erbieball super slinky’s for so long and changing to the paradigm was a breeze. These strings are way bright and have a corrosion resistance and they aren’t coated. The problem to me with the coated strings that other brands put out is that they just don’t last long enough to justify the coating process to me. Also coated strings for me have just too much extra material on them and once the coating is gone they sound nothing like they did new. Where as these being not coated still out last all of them. Also Ernie ball strings are stronger to me than any other strings I mean I have actually broken a string in over 20 years and the only reason that happens is because it wasn’t an Ernie ball string. Had to use a different brand because I...

Shawn: TL;DR - These strings are awesome for heavy playing: Amazing Tone with Stable Longevity, Staying in Tune, and just Not Breaking for many shows.

I've waited years to write this, because on my first two sets, I had almost immediate breakage on at least one string - however, I was able to get a couple sets before they were available to all the public, and my later experience as not the same, but I wanted to be sure before posting a review.

Some background...

I'm a heavy handed Gibson (endorsed) player, playing rock music akin to The Who or QOTSA - I usually wear down a 60mm pick to unusable in a couple sets. I've played hundreds of shows in the past five years, and D'addario EXL110 was what I used forever, because that's what my Luthier always put on after a setup, so I figured they were the best choice. But with the D'addario's I was almost always out of tune on multiple strings by the end of a song - so tuning between songs was always a mood killer, banter and jokes required to fill the gap in music. Worse, I was breaking 2-3 strings a set - in random fashion, not always the high E or B string - the D string maybe the highest break rate. I...
