Ernie Ball Skinny Top/ Heavy Bottom Slinky Coated Titanium RPS Electric Guitar Strings - 10-52 Gauge

I bought these to put on a 335. They sound great, the coating doesn't seem to make any significant difference in tone from the uncoated set I had on the guitar before. They've been on the guitar for a couple of weeks and I wipe the strings down after every use like I normally would, and these still sound as good as they did when I first put them on. I suspect these will outlast uncoated strings by a notable margin.

I've been using Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's for a good number of years now, but I won't talk about the strings in terms of gauge here as I assume you'll have already some experience with what strings you like before looking at these.This particular line of strings claim to decrease string breakage, hold tuning and resist wear more than a regular set, and it's safe to say this is exactly what they do.After 3 months of daily playing I'm about due a new set, which as far as longevity goes is fantastic. I have these strings set up on a MIM Fender Telecaster Deluxe 72 reissue complete with a graph-tec nut and string-saver saddles, so I can't put it all down to the strings as to why I've not broken any (in all honesty I rarely break a string and if you've not got a well cut and lubed nut all the will in the world won't keep you in tune), but these strings will take an absolute hammering and maintain their freshness and tone twice as long as a regular set. I can play for a good 30-60 minutes without having to adjust my tuning, which I put down to a combo of the strings and the graph-tec nut. As with any set of strings, washing your hands prior to playing will prolong the life of these strings considerably.All in all, definitely worth the extra cash since you'll be changing sets far less often, but don't go expecting miracles. It's still just wound metal at the end of the day!

Does what it says on the tin.

I have always been a D’adario & elixir fan boy ever since i started playing guitar 14 years ago. Throughout time and in between setups, the guitar technicians i took my guitar to always looked at me in a different way when i said for strings im not taking ernie ball, tho one of them insisted when the cobalt launched that i should give Ernie ball another chance cuz they are good. And he was right! The cobalt has been the sharp d’adario version of ernie ball while keeping the mellow tone that i love about ernie ball, but sadly they got rusty extremely quick and i had to go back to elixir. A decade passed by and so much has changed in life, I finally got back into playing guitar and bought myself a beast of a brand new schecter (c1 platinum) and a boss katana mk2 100 and boy is that combination the best thing ive ever had since my good old days, better than my old Ibanez prestige and the junky (sold to a friend) line 6 spider 4 30W amp. The schecter came with the strings that made me fall in love with Ernie ball, the cobalt series, and as much as i loved them again like i used to i had to get coated strings after 4 days of playing. Thankfully, finally ernie ball has launched with a coated line!!! And that gave me so much joy!!! To the point i was expecting to see if ernie has finally made me their loyal customer after so many attempts? Have they nailed this time? And so they did!! Unlike the rest of the Ernie balls that are dry and rusty these definitely feel like high quality coated strings, smooth and very well toned!! Ernie ball i kneel, this is how you got customers like me, people who want something reliable and long lasting and dont need to hassle to take care of things every minute. The strings are durable and after playing sessions with them Ernie has got my seal of approval!!!

He probado algunos sets de esta marca, como los regulares y cobalto, sin embargo considero que estas cuerdas poseen lo mejor de los sets que mencioné. No son rígidas, ni se sienten duras al tocar comp algunos piensan, su sonido es bastante brillante y tienen el característico twang de esta marca y lo más importante duran muchísimo yo tengo 1 año con estas cuerdas instaladas en mi guitarra y no se han opacado, ni oxidado como pasa con las normales y si le doy un uso algo rudo. Sin embargo cabe mencionar que en general el brillo y durabilidad de las cuerdas depende mucho del cuidado, limpieza y uso que les des. Las recomiendo si buscas la durabilidad pero sin perder el brillo y sonido que ofrece esta marca.

Pros: Lasts a long time without going dead. Really slick finish.Cons: None!I'm a D'Addario player, and these honest to god feel better than NYXLs.
