Ernie Ball 2221

I'm a beginner, so I don't have much knowledge on how different strings play, but these are great for my use. Seems to be good for everyone with how many people use these strings, they must be bestsellers for a reason!

After putting these strings on I noticed a huge improvement from the strings that were already on the guitar, they actually felt a slight bit easier to play in my limit experience. They sound much nicer too, quite a bright sounding set of strings. I can't attest to how long they last, seems to vary person to person. A decent amount of people seem to think they last a while, even after the bright sound is gone, they still play and feel good. Again, I can't say much about that as of yet.

They're perfect for me though, and they're well priced. If you aren't a huge fan of brighter tones I would suggest trying other strings, but they're so affordable you may as well try them out anyway! I'd highly recommend!

The Ernie Ball 2221 Electric Guitar String Set is a great choice for any guitar player looking to upgrade their strings. One of the standout features of these strings is the tonal balance they provide. They produce a warm and rich sound that's well-rounded and perfect for a variety of playing styles.

Another thing I appreciate about the Ernie Ball 2221 strings is how easy they are to use. Installing them on my electric guitar was a breeze, and they stayed in tune very well. The strings feel smooth and comfortable to play, which makes it easy to achieve the sound you're looking for.

Overall, I highly recommend the Ernie Ball 2221 Electric Guitar String Set to anyone looking for strings that offer excellent tonal balance and are easy to install. They're a great investment for any guitar player.

The guitar arrived setup really well. It has a lovely low action without any fret buzz from the strings. I was really impressed with the intonation as well even at the higher frets. Barre chords are a breeze to play and there is a really nice rich sound from the guitar that being a solid top should only improve with age. The guitar is also really good looking, the solid mahogany is gorgeous and complimented very well by the chrome hardware.

There are 2 issues that let it down slightly are, when it arrived there was a lot of white dust on the guitar and it took a bit of polishing to get it looking right, especially around the unlacquered bridge. The other issue is the bridge pins are a bit flimsy and tend to pop out, it took a bit of force to secure the G string which popped out a few times on me. I hope that this won't be an ongoing annoyance atevery string change. But, all in all for €195 I can live with these for a guitar that looks, sounds, and plays as well as this does. It really does feel like a much more expensive guitar and is amazing value for money.

Never had a problem with these. No fuss and no nonsense?they just work. My Les Paul and my Strat sound amazing whenever newly strung with them, and they feel awesome to bend on.

That tone, of course, doesn't last long if you're playing 2-3 hours or more per day, but I find with Ernie Ball they actually also sound good as they age and wear out. Different, but good, which is why I choose them. With other strings I've tried they really sound dull after a week.

The ability to customise your gauge by buying individual strings is a brilliant plus also with these. I could not get my SG to tune to C sharp with the readily available gauge sets I found on the net. With Ernie Ball I could customise my third string to work properly and intonate well and bend properly.

One of the first strings I tried were these Ernie Balls.

I've searched a warm but brilliant sound for good ol' rocksounds.

If you want to rock....or blues......or jazz... go for these strings!

That's the classic, chuncky fat, open Rock'n'Roller sound you search for.
Classic to modern sounds - no problem!
They last at least 3-6 weeks and usually won't break at normal to harder playing.

The attack is great and so is the dynamic. The stability is pretty good, even if you'll strum hardly. It let's you break up your amp while it feels really controllable.
The pickups catch up every tonal differences - we are back to the dynamic.

It brings a strong but comfortable string tension, so it will take downtunings easilly.

I play Jazz, Blues, Bluesrock and a little bit of metal with these strings on a Les Paul.

So, if you search your allrounder with all qualities or you're a beginner and have to search YOUR choice of strings - go with these
