Customer reviews about Ernie Ball 2226 – Thomann United Arab Emirates

Better than expected!

cigilovic.com 01.04.2024

I think Ernie Ball 2226 Burly Slinky is an excellent choice for standard D / Drop C tunings and allows you to play very comfortably at all registers.

Although Ernie Ball 2226 is not a coated string set and not so pricey, I was pretty surprised how it has been holding the initial spark and not getting rusty right after I started playing (especially on the top strings).

It’s a very popular guitar string set that has received 4.8/5 out of 185 user reviews and ranked in 14th position among hundreds of competitor models and brands in the 11 gauge string category!

I believe this tells a lot about how confidently this product is standing out.

Happy to purchase this and can confidently recommend anyone who is after an affordable yet durable one with superb playability for standard D and drop C tunings!

Best!

K.Kay 07.01.2021

Ok folks. I bought 2 set 11's from each brand (the other brand is daddario) cause I wanted to tune down 2 of my guitars to D standard for a project. As fate wanted it these 2 guitars were identical (same brand, same pickups) so I decided to install one of each brand for an A/B comparison. After necessary truss rod adjustments we are back in business.
Sound related there was no any audible difference between these 2 sets, the only actual difference is the long lasting tone (ernie ball) after 3 months of use and the fact that ernie ball's have a smoother feeling in hands.

Maybe the best in the game

Thanorval 18.07.2023

These strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early '60s. The strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core wire. Compared to "usual" gauges, these are made to deliver a fatter tone with increased tension when soloing (this just means that the strings are bigger).

Let's talk about what you want to know : compared to the standard D'addario, the Ernie Ball are cheaper and last as long (I would say a little bit longer, but maybe that's me). So this is winner for me.

Good option for D tunning

Rm87 10.02.2020

I purchased this set for my 25.5 scale length guitar to play on D / drop C. I like the feel better than with the beefy slinkies.
Everything else is just as you can expect from Ernie Ball strings.

Works nice on my Gretsch single cut

kgckgc 05.09.2022

Personally, I like a guitar sound without much middle since it can wash out vocals in the same range. The combination of these strings with my Gretsch single cut is golden. Pure vintage sound with just a little reverb! Ow!

Priest Sodas 20.10.2022

its anything you would expect from an ernie ball pack.
for a 25.5 scale you will get amazing drop C stability. with a bit looser feel for bends. exaclty what i need

These are just strings, I use them on all my E Standard guitars... If you're like me and got big hands you'll be good. Plus you can really hit em and they'll stay in tune

Perfect for downtunning

Sophus 25.11.2021

Very good string for downtunning. Also works great for standard tunning. Nice and chunky.
