Product ReviewsErnie Ball 2222 Hybrid Slinky Electric Guitar Strings Set

Light Top - Heavy Bottom

Great for my Stratocasters - sturdy bottom and easy bending in the treble range.
They were around in the 70s and 80s known as Light Top - Heavy Bottom and
then I could not find them any longer - glad they are back in one set, without having
to mix 2 sets, even though the left over heavy top light bottom that remain would fit
right on a Les Paul that would have a strong bass and mid-range response, and can use
a bit more boost in the treble range.Read full review...

Great strings at an even better price

You can't beat this deal! Ernie Ball strings have always been my go to set of strings. The 10 pack is quite the value. Most times, these will go for 9 bucks or more for a set. Getting 10 at this price is stupid good. Hybrids are a perfect gauge for my style. Not too light and heavy enough on the bottom for great feel and tone. I'll be back for more when these are done. That's for sure. USA made ensures top qualityRead full review...

Feel good and sound good

Play-ability, that is the name of the game. What is your style? players with big hands tend to use higher action, lower action requires thinner strings or else you get buzz and also, lower action tends to have less sustain.

All of the comments I've made can be argued both ways. It comes down to your style, the fret height and your finger strength.Read full review...

Great strings for older hand

This set of making top strings feel medium and extra light bottom is a great choice if you want top stability and easier high bends... I’m 65 and can wail with these babies...

Great strings at a good price

I'm sure there are better strings out there with all the coated and new processes to improve strings.
But at the end of the day if your looking for a good reliable string look no further. Clapton's been using EB's forever. I've been using these for 15yrs or so and have been happy with the product. Easy to play, they stay in tune without breaking. The only downfall is the longevity. They don't last as long as I would like them to, but when you own more than 10 guitars you need a economical solution. These work for me. Give them a shot, it won't break the bank.Read full review...

The goods !!!

Great tone, feel, and comfort even after playing for hours. I've used EB Slinky's for years, veered off path and tried new brands but always came back to the Ernie Ball strings. Excellent value and quality.Read full review...

That brand never disappoints...

I've used that brand since 1982 on all kinds of guitars and basses whether at home in the studio or on stage and they always delivered :)

Slide and glide with these strings.

I favor Slinky strings by Ernie Ball. They are very comfortable and slide under my fingers better. This is a newer gauge combination. I am trying these to see if the have a better sound and feel over the regular sets that Ernie designed. I know that the sound of the strings will be there and the comfort. I recommend this brand. Find a gauge that suits you and your playing.Read full review...
