Delivering the legendary Slinky tone Ernie Ball is known for, these Paradigm strings are created with advanced, proprietary manufacturing technology. The result is unparalleled break resistance, durability and an iron-clad guarantee to back it up. Ernie Ball will replace any Paradigm strings that break or rust within 90 days.

Strength
Ernie Ball combines its new state-of-the-art wire drawing process with its own patented Reinforced Plain String (RPS) technology to dramatically increase tensile strength by up to 37%.  This process also results in an increase in fatigue strength of up to 70% more than traditional string sets.

Durability
Each Paradigm string is plasma-cleaned to provide increased corrosion resistance. Ernie Ball's patented Everlast nanotreament repels sweat and buildup to keep your strings clean and crisp without changing their legendary tone and feel.

    I buy a set for every guitar every three months sometimes linger and they feel brand new bright loud and smooth no weird coated feel or sound just brand new string feel for months and even when im playing at least a couple hours a day easily little pricey but getting three months out of them as much as i play i feel like is actually a savings long term for me. #sweepstakes

    I love Ernie Ball Paradigms! They have great warm tone that isn't affected by the coating, they last for impressively long amounts of time (I once used the same set for months), and they are very strong. Totally worth it; you won't be sorry. #sweepstakes

    These are the only strings I use, going from bass to guitar is always tough and these strings are strong enough that I don't feel like I'm gonna break them. Sound awesome and feel great.

    I play in a band that plays shows wherein I need consistency and durability. I use these strings so that I can make it through the set without having to change guitars.
