Love ernie ball and their 9s are sick - Awesome strings. Always used ernie balls. From their 9s, 10s, 11s to now their paradigms. I got a fresh set on before this show in the clip, check it out, sounds decent! FYI that guitar is a budget hartwood semi acoustic hallow body whammy and it's awesome. Check it out.

You could always sprinkle some on though if that's your preference. **Q: Will these work on a Gibson Les Paul Special II?** A: Short answer, yes. They will work on most guitars, provided they are the proper scale length. The high e is prone to snapping without much effort. Mine snapped after 2 weeks of regular use whilst loosening them up for guitar maintenance. Still good value though. **Q: Do they play ok in C# standard?** A: Yes they play fine in most tunings above standard A **Q: I restrung my guitar with these strings (they are the right gauge for the guitar) but now all the frets are a semitone out of tune. Any way to fix?** A: Make sure your intonation is set correctly. To check intonation, fret string at twelfth fret then do open harmonic at same fret. They should sound the same.if sharp or flat then adjust bridge saddle. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect strings *by M***L on 9 May 2026* Fantastic strings, great quality.

And reasonably priced too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just good, reliable strings *by V***R on 20 July 2022* I have had a top 'E' break after only a couple of hours playing but that is very rare and usually the fault of a sharp edge or rough fret on the guitar. Oddly I also seem to get a fair number of 'A' string breakages but I reckon that is more that particular guitar's fault too. these do sound lovely and jangly and fresh when first fitted but they lose that fairly quickly. For that reason and to minimise the chances of a breakage on stage, I have a two gig (three maximum) limit on my stage guitars for strings (not quite rich enough to have new strings every gig yet). All strings lose their vitality after a while and they are more likely to break the longer they are on the guitar particularly if you're doing a lot of 1-step/1.5-step bends. So, I like these strings and they are all I buy for my electric guitars. I think they are value for money but you do have to keep them fresh. Strings are actually a big part of your sound and there's little point in buying lovely, crisp, expensive pickups if you are going to leave the strings on forever. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 3-pack, 9-42 Gauge (P03223) - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Ernie Ball Guitar Polish, Fretboard Conditioner, and String Cleaner with Polish Cloth --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/65684427-ernie-ball-super-slinky-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-3](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/65684427-ernie-ball-super-slinky-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
