2721 Regular Slinky Cobalt Electric Guitar Strings - .010-.046 Review

Best strings I've ever used

Exceptional tone and playability, they feel great, I run them on my 7 strings and they're the best strings I've used to date. I noticed that a bunch of the poor reviews talking about string breakages I have yet to have that issue. I also notice them talking about regular slinkys being better when in fact they're the same exact string with a different wrapping, which is why they… read more a tad more and sound better. Returning to what I was saying these strings outclass so many brands and they do not disappoint.

The remedy for a nickel allergy

I'm a touring and session guitarist and have been playing for a long time now. I, as well as a small number of my colleagues, have a nickel allergy. This poses a huge problem as most electric guitar strings are wound with nickel. For the longest time, I had to use stainless steel strings, which are harsh sounding and feeling. However, when I discover the Ernie Ball Cobalts,… read more I was blown away. They have no nickel but feel like regular guitar strings. The sound is full and natural sounding. If you, like me, have a nickel allergy (or you don't and just like great guitar strings) try the cobalts.

Made Me A Believer

I have a Gibson LP and even though I like brite-wires I just wasn't sure about the sound when it came time to record. So I went on a mission to try and find the perfect strings to help achieve the sound I was looking for when the guy at my local shop suggested these. For real I've always hated Ernie Ball strings until I tried these things. What a difference. They give you more output… read more and string definition. I did some setup adjustments to help harmonize the strings to my liking and that thing sounds great. If you haven't tried these already I would definitely recommend it. They might just give you the sound your looking for.

Best strings period!

I have used regular Slinky's for years and decided to give the Cobalts a try. I immediately heard a huge difference in tone, feel, etc. Amazing. I went back to the Slinky's again and just didn't get the same as the Cobalt's. Very noticeably different. So, gonna stick to the Cobalt's from now on. Best strings period! ✌

Superb Strings period

I was reluctant but a friend gave me a set. Ive used the D'addarios for years. Just happened to break a string and his gift set was all I had. Tied`em on and wow. They were full of tone, and slightly louder I suppose. But Tone for days. So, I started using them and have been ever since. I have tried some of the coated strings and they`re just too bright and jangle. These… read more strings are awesome. But I would reluctantly state that these strings are maybe not for beginners nor those who don`t play their guitar regularly, because they are strong. But if you are a daily player you`ll not notice the difference. They also last longer. My normal time frame, when gigging steadily, on a set of strings before using these was about once every week or two, now, I tie on a new set about once every 3-4 weeks.
