Review: Affordable way to sound and play different. - Trying different gauge strings is fun and affordable way to find that tone you want to nail. I play 11’s and was skeptical. I put them on my Epiphone Firebird and they sound good unplugged and are gnarly with my Orange Rocker 30. For me, it enables me to hear more nuances out of my left hand and thats kinda important. Try them and if you dont like them, youre out 8$. No bigs.
Review: Great guitar strings - These are great guitar strings. I personally love these, and I think they're of great quality. I got a 3 pack, and have gone through two: one on a brand new Stratocaster, and one on a vintage 60's Kent Lido. Both have held up amazingly, and sound really good. The package doesn't lie: They are slinky, but just the right amount. I'm able to comfortably pull off bends. I'm also able to tune from E standard to drop D and not have to retune almost at all, which is nice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are these ranked #1 in the category "Fishing" ?**
A: When a company puts a product in some obscure category, they can get the "best seller" icon when they inevitably get more sales than the other products in that category. That's how you end up searching for something like "guitar strings", and multiple products show up as the #1 seller. Why Amazon still allows this after all these years, I will never know.

**Q: Do all 6 strings come in the "1 pack"?**
A: If you note on the front of the package, it has a list of numbers (10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46 on the "Regular Slinky" set, and similar on others). These are the string gauges included in the pack. If there were only one string in the pack, it would list a single number, because you'd have to know which string it was.

**Q: what is the difference between slinky and non slinky?**
A: Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set).

**Q: I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?**
A: Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyday Strings
*by S***N on December 25, 2025*

I use slinkies for my project guitars and others that I will burn through strings. They're inexpensive, but a great value for the money, as they are solid as can be. Nickel wrapped steel gives a nice clarity and brightness to a warm nickel sound, so these can cover quite a few musical bases.
