Product Rating Product Review I've recently made the switch to Ernie Ball Paradigm strings, and am impressed with their silkiness and tone. My only complaint is the price is a bit steep up front, especially when restringing multiple guitars at once. My hope is these will last long enough to even out on price, but time will tell. So far they're great!

These are the longest lasting strings I’ve ever used on an electric guitar

Product Review I decided to test the Ernie ball Paradigm. They are guaranteed for 90 days, to not break. Well, I am about a week shy of the 90 days, and there are no signs of wear on the strings. No rust or corrosion. I put them on one of my Les Pauls and I manage to play at least an hour a day. The tone is still superb.

Product Review I bought the hybrid strings and I love them. They sound just as good as the cobalt strings in my opinion. I like the way they feel and sound. Pretty crisp and good for any genre of music.

Product Review Hey shredders! I have been using these great strings for 5 years. Since Ernie Ball released these stings in 2017. And still have the same set of strings on all 8 of my Dean guitars. If you do break a string within 90 days. They will replace that string for free. No other string offers such strength.

Product Review I’ve been an Ernie Ball Slinky fan for over 10 years. Switched to these about a year after they were released. I thought they were a gimmick but, I was wrong. They sound better, for a longer period of time. Never broke a string. Solid tail piece style guitars, no vibrato/floyd. Minor 3rd bends on the ‘e’ and ‘b’ and no breaks. I’ve also noticed when restringing the guitar these take a bit less stretching.

Product Review Longest life of any string on the market. I feel like the sound could be better. Feel is great. Ernie hall makes better sounding strings cobalt, m-steel etc. These however will last the longest.

Product Review You don't have to worry about when you do a step and a half string bend that one of your plane strings is going to break. Those worries are over with this new design from Ernie Ball. The protective treatment insures long life out of these strings. At least two to three months of performance and they maintain their intonation a lot better and longer. They still have the Ernie ball fill.

Product Review The first set of these I bought the Band E string broke during tuning. When I contacted AMS they immediately took care of the problem and sent a new set. With that being said I’ve always used Earnie Ball strings and never had this issue. After installing the new strings, I love the feel and playability as well as how the strings are holding up. They are great strings backed by a great company.

Product Review I put these strings on my Epiphone Frampton Les Paul and they really Rock! The feel is like silk. The tone is incredible and I am just a beginner. I don’t sound or play like Peter, but these strings make me “feel like I do!” Pun intended!

Product Review Tina Turner was talking about Ernie Ball. All of my instruments are equipped with paradigm strings. Form my Kramer to my Musicman Majesty. They last forever and I haven't broken one yet.

Product Review I'm a huge SRV fan, which means I pound the heck out of my strings. It's safe to say that these strings are the toughest out there, tone retention is also top notch. One con is that these strings have a kind of sticky feel when they're fresh out the pack but that goes away with use. All in all these are now my go to strings, will definitely buy again.

Product Review Fantastic strings , very balanced, smooth as silk, a real pleasure to play. Can't put my axe down for less than 2 hours noodling. The response of these are incredible. After 55 years playing I have finally found my tonal sound and am now complete. Well at least until another miracle happens.

Great Strings but not worth the extra Money

Product Review I'm longtime Ernie Ball fan when it comes to strings. These strings had me excited when I read about the technology going into the construction. I currently use Cobalt strings and love how great they sound compared to normal Slinkys. When I got these strings on the first thing I noticed is the feel. They feel much tighter than any other string I've used. The sound, in my opinion, is not as bright as Cobalts or Slinkys. The strings are good, but I don't know if it's worth the extra money.
