Ernie Ball 2220 Power Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - .011-.048 Reviews

I've used .011s on multiple guitars for many musical styles. They sound great.

I use these power slinkys on my Strats and Teles. Much bigger tone, allows for faster tremolo picking. Let's me dig into the strings more to get a little more tone pushing through my single coils. Have been using multiple gauge Slinkys for more years than I can remember. Would never switch to another brand. I often try different acoustic strings, but when it comes to my electrics, it's Ernie Ball Slinkys every single time without fail.

Been using Ernie Ball strings since 1969 ... why change now? I thought I'd try a heavier gauge string on my LP after trying the "top-wrapped" idea ... glad I did, Now, I have to order 12 sets to my LP ...

I put these on my Schecter Tempest Custom because I wanted a little heavier tone and something that would sound and feel great if I ever downtuned. These strings were the answer! I have always loved and played Regular Slinky's, so I gave these a try and they rock! Try em'!

We play some songs that are tuned a full step, and a full step with 6th string down another full (like drop d) and these fill the need very well. Sound full and stay in tune. I've used Ernie Balls Super Slinky off and on for years and recommend them and Power Slinky to everyone!
So if you are into lower tunings, give these a try!

I used to play Ernie Ball strings but wasn't satisfied with the ones I had tried and found others from other brands I much preferred. I avoided their strings for a couple years but recently got a pack of Power Slinky just to give them another shot. I normally use fairly thick strings and wanted something different to experiment. Purple is also my favourite colour, so I went with these and really enjoy them. They're on my Strat now and feel great on it. They're really pleasant in Drop C. I'll be sticking with these for my Strat and getting Beefy Slinky for my SG. Ernie Ball, I'm sorry for ever doubting you guys. Thank you for helping me sound less garbage.

These are my favorite strings. Great compromise between bigger full sounding strings and playability.

I've had these strings on my Les Paul for about year now and they still sound good. When I first put these strings on they had bright clear amazing tone and stayed in tune and even a year later they still sound good. Overall I am totally impressed with these strings.

These strings sound great and feel good. Use them on all my electric gits. In fact, I haven't had a new guitar yet that I haven't put these on in the first few days. Perfect for me.

The ultimate thrasher set of strings, you can put alot of aggression on these for thrash metal, 9s need to be babied a little in comparison lol. These EB 48-11 stay in tune for sure in E, and are good for Eb and D as well. Very good elasticity.

I have been using ernie ball strings for years. Used their .009s and .010s for a long long time but this last year I have been using these .011s and love them. Rough on your fingers at first but the tone you get is better than any band-aid.

i have been using these strings for years,they never break,always sound good and very consistant,good product!

Every single guitar I've owned has been graced with a set of Ernie Ball strings. You just can't go wrong with them. I have tried other brands and just keep coming back to these. I prefer Power slinks and beefy slinks for my style of playing. Go getcha some Ernie ball!

Awesome strings and Guage selection. I play mainly hard rock and heavy metal and these are my favorites, besides you can't go wrong James Hetfield (Metallica) uses them.

Great string that lasts a long time.

These are some great strings if you want to go to drop D but anything lower is risky. They're perfect for slight detuning. I keep them a half step lower than normal so I can play a bunch of alternative, grunge, and rock riffs. My high E broke but that's because of my tuning peg and nut. I tried them on a cheap guitar that just needs some work but it at the end of the day it gets the job done. It's the guitar I use to try new strings. I'm glad I had bought a spare pair because now I know that I might stick with these for a while. If you have a cheaper setup maybe look up some tutorials on how to fix it so it works better but if you have a good setup and are into detuning, definitely pick these up.

These strings have always served me well for at least seventeen years now. Lately I've needed to change them quite a bit more often because they go dead and the high strings start buzzing like a Sitar if I don't. My action is professionally set and notably higher than average but the shorter life is probably coming from my new stainless steel frets. This seems logical to me because the stainless is harder than the strings. Am I right ? Anyway,Ernie is probably still making good strings.

Purchased 10 sets of Power Slinky strings from Sweetwater Seven sets had rust on the, 11-14-18 gage strings.Total Garbage What a waste of my money. What happened brand new strings in air tight sealed package with rusty 11-14-18 strings. Talk about poor Quality Control what a joke.
