They sound good for MONTHS!

Yeah you read that right! I have been playing since 1988. I have tried almost every string you can imagine. My preference is Nickle but the problem with Nickle is that after a couple days they loose their kick and start to sound flat. Cobalt sounds just as good as nickle and they last much much longer. I only use Cobalt now on all of my electrics. The longest I have gone not… read more changing the strings on one of my guitars was a year. It still sounded great but I had to put on a new set just on principle.

Cobalt fan for life

Used to use Ernie Ball Super Slinky"s before I stopped playing. Now that I've started playing again, decided to try the Cobalts. Incredible sound and feel. Never thought I'd give up Super Slinkys,but now I'm a Cobalt fan.

Cobalt !

Way to go Earnie ! Been using your .008's since the beginning of time ,ever since I tried em in the 70's . Switched to your 009's a year ago and haven't looked back ...... until two days ago I bought the Cobalt .009'sThese are freaking great !!! I cringed when I paid twice as much for them but the sound is fantastic on my Les Paul Studio ( I love this guitar ) played some… read more clean jazzy stuff first and it was singing ! Then comes the overdrive , wow ! Fuller sound Distortion , heh ,heh ,heh ! They bend great and feel smooth . Better than the old slinky's .Gonna by a set in a few minutes for my Gibson Melody Maker SG and give it a go ! Can't wait for them to arrive !Other reviews say they last for a long time with great sound . I guess we'll see about that .Wanna try the Paradgm strings some time or another... I'm sure there great and if they last as long as Earnie claims I guess there worth the money .

Knocked me out!

I decided to bite the bullet and spend the extra money to try out a set of these strings. (I generally use Slinky strings, but the regular ones) I bought two sets and today I put a set on my wife's Squire Strat. (She has several high end guitars, but this little gem plays like butter) I was a bit concerned that I was throwing $10 strings on this, but went for it for her. I ended… read more up playing it for over an hour and am really excited about the tone and overall playability of the strings. I hardly had ANY STRETCH and they stayed in tune with some heavy duty bending and hammering. I am a bit tight when it comes to spending extra on strings, but I suspect these strings will be on all of my guitars. I have one extra set now, and plan on putting them on one of my Les Pauls for a go. Will keep you posted. Thank you Sweetwater!
