Description of Electric Guitar Strings Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky - (10-46)

Ernie Ball Slinky strings are perhaps the most famous series of strings in the world. American quality, time-tested, as well as hundreds of famous musicians such as Jimi Page, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Slash, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, John Petrucci and many others. For the convenience of musicians, the manufacturer has introduced color coding of packaging and names of strings within the series (Regular Slinky, Hybrid Slinky, Super Slinky and others) to identify sets with different string gauges. Almost all other strings for electric guitars from Ernie Ball are based on these strings: Stainless Steel Slinky, RPS Slinky, Pure Nickel Slinky (aka Classic Rock), Cobalt Slinky, Coated Slinky, which have some or other modified characteristics. Thick strings consist of a hexagonal steel core and nickel-plated steel braid. The thin strings are made from tin-plated (thinly tin-coated) high-carbon steel, which gives the guitar a balanced tone. Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings are a set for 6-string electric guitar with string gauges 10-46. As the name suggests, this is the standard string gauge that most guitar manufacturers recommend setting on their instruments to play in standard tuning. A very versatile kit. The strings are supplied in sealed packaging, which protects them from environmental influences and guarantees their safety during long-term storage and transportation. Inside the package, each string is packed in a separate paper envelope. Features: Instrument: electric guitar, 6 strings String gauges: 10-13-17-26-36-46 Thick strings: Nickel-plated steel braid on a hexagonal steel core Thin strings: tin-plated high carbon steel

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

Stale Chinese copy, yellowed envelopes, packaging different from the original (you can pay attention to the cut of the packaging) + quality of the material, no verification code inside (in the photo for comparison, gray and turquoise packaging from the original strings I purchased earlier in other stores)

Pros
  • They are worth their money if you indicate in the ad that this is a Chinese copy. not rusty
Cons
  • Chinese copy

Second-rate product, won't buy it again.

I checked the D (re) string for a fold with pliers - it broke on the 5th fold. I did the same test with similar strings from another well-known company for the letter D' - it broke on the 7th fold. . It turned out that this is a Chinese fake (and what else to call it? ). The description doesn't say this. This is no good at all! I would never buy those strings!

Pros
  • Real American strings (I would like to believe) for 351. The sound is pleasant, clear and sonorous.
Cons
  • The 4th (D) string broke after a month, but maybe the reason is my cheap untreated tune-o-matic bridge. Not pleasantly strained the presence of stickers with Chinese characters and that the seller is a certain Wang Shuai. The strings are American, I get them in 2022 - where did the Chinese come from? I heard that the Chinese counterfeit branded goods. In general, I would not like to have such intermediaries. There are differences in packaging.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

The main thing is not to run into the Chinese, which are in bulk on ebay. learn how to tell them apart. Chinese ones seem to be made of steel and cost 2 times less. They're not bad either, but the frets will end sooner.
