General

This is the best-selling string set for electric guitar, and for good reason! The Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky is a set of six strings that produces an extremely balanced sound with more than enough output. The genre doesn't really matter, the set comes into its own in any genre. Dozens of world-famous guitarists therefore eagerly use Slinky''s and you have probably, without knowing it, heard countless top songs played on Slinky''s. The wound strings are made of nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hexagonal steel core. The non-wound strings are made of specially hardened tin-plated carbon steel. This set contains 4 pieces of this string set.

2221 Regular Slinky: good idea

Mr Ball noticed in the 1960s that many (beginning) guitarists were having trouble with the best-selling strings at the time. In particular, the G string, which was usually wound back then, was very difficult to press. Ernie therefore thought that a thinner string set would be easier to play. He presented this idea to a major guitar company, but this company didn't see the point. Fortunately, Ernie Ball did manage to convince another string manufacturer, which Ernie then sold in his own shop. Soon this became a huge success, and even The Beach Boys and The Ventures became customers.

Still as good as ever

Decades later, Ernie Ball Slinky's are legendary in the guitar world, and without Ernie Ball, guitar music might have sounded completely different today. The strings are made with the finest and purest raw materials, then put into hermetically sealed packaging as quickly as possible. This is to ensure that the strings are as fresh in your home as they were just out of the factory. Not sure which strings you need? Then you will always be right with the Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky. Already familiar with the 2221? Then you'll probably want another set!

Betaalbare snaren met een helder geluid. De snaren hebben een goede die, zodat ze een vol, rijk geluid leveren. Heb in mijn meer dan 30-jarige gitaar ervaring zelden meegemaakt dat er een slechte snaar tussen zat die snel brak. Snaren gaan ook vrij lang mee, hoewel ze na een uur of 10 spelen langzaam steeds doffer gaan klinken. Of je daar van houdt is persoonlijk. Aanrader om ze te poetsen met fast fret van GHS. Dat verlengt de levensduur aanzienlijk

Ik was altijd iemand die random setjes kocht. Ernie Ball zag ik regelmatig op fora voorbij komen als antwoord op de vraag: "Welke snaren beveel je aan?"

Nu ik weer begonnen ben met actiever spelen en mijn al veel te oude set snaren aan vervanging toe was ben ik overstag gegaan. En ik ben tot dusver absoluut tevreden! Klank is mooi, ze zijn niet te stijf en ze raken niet enorm ontstemd na benden of gebruik van whammy bar. Ik denk dat ik toch merkvast word op dit gebied...

Vroeger gebruikte ik D'addario maar ik had het idee dat ze snel doods klonken en toen ik overstapte op Ernie Ball was dat over. Overigens speel ik met iemand die dat net andersom heeft dus is mijn advies verschillende proberen tot je vindt wat voor jou het beste werkt. Voor mij dus Ernie Ball 0.10

Unfortunately, I can't recommend these strings. They sound good, but the strings often break. Mine broke several times in the first week of playing.
