Ernie Ball John Mayer Silver Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 10.5-47 Gauge

Gotta be honest, but this for the tin for part storage. But the strings are actually great!

I can’t comment on much for this, but my boyfriend is a huge guitar guy. He put this on a wishlist for me for Christmas, and he was super excited to get it. He searched for this string specifically and said it was the best (I can’t say that for sure, but he does do his research) it seemed like good quality, and felt pretty strong. He said it’s super easy to install and plays really well. Great value.

These strings are worth trying, especially on a 25.5 scale Strat.I put them on my Ibanez QX54QM, Headless "Strat", they are the strings for this guitar, going forward. I've put at least 20+ different string sets on looking for that perfect sound.Different gauge strings, different Alloys and Flatwound variations. We all do it, these could be a stopping off point for awhile!Reasonable price. They feel soft on the fingers but pump out the sound. I waited a month before writing this Review, just to make sure my initial response was true.

I’m not sure what made me try these I’ve been using elixirs for as long as they’ve been around but here we are. First off the string gauge I normally use are 10’s Elixir Polyweb on my electric and the same gauge but Phosphor Bronze on my acoustic so the increase in gauge size at first just took a little getting used to. A few days to be exact. The strings themselves felt…… dirty in comparison to the coated strings I normally use. So it’s been approximately a week since I put them on and since then the strings have become warmer, not nearly as bright as when I first put them on but I prefer that so with that being said………OMG! The tones and colors I’m pulling from these strings are other worldly to say the least. So now I find myself torn because while Elixers give me that wonderfully warm tones and they feel great under my fingers I can’t match the tone I get from the John Mayer Super Slinkys! Itf they would just coat their strings they’d have a customer for life but I think for the time being I’ll being using both brands on and off all depending. So do I like them? Yep! Will I buy them again? I bought the three pack tin so let’s get through them first and we’ll see. So I guess what I’m saying is if you’re looking for amazing tones don’t look any further if you don’t mind a gritty feeling at first on your strings. Maybe I souls have oiled them up first? With fret ease? So, on a scale of 2 to 3 they’re a 3!! Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed.

They are the best they’ve been the best for the last 50 years can’t beat them and they last

Love them. They are absolutely gorgeous. Haven't strung them yet, but when they're this gorgeous in the package, they're gonna be really gorgeous out loud

I did not want to like this. But I love them. I put them on a new custom shop 63 strat on a fresh setup after having a regular set of slinkys on them. The low end remains tight when played aggressively and there is just enough body, resistance and added sustain on bends that they’re a dream while improvising. I’m playing these on a very well set up guitar. I can imagine them being not so enjoyable if the guitar has improper neck relief or high action. 11/10. Bonus: They’re a dream to play when tuning to Eb.

Feel and sound Great
