Description

Since 1962 the Ball family has been dedicated to crafting guitar strings that shape the landscape of rock and roll. Continuing their passion for innovation and high-quality products, Ernie Ball Paradigm electric and acoustic guitar strings are the world’s strongest and most advanced string technology ever created featuring the first fully backed guarantee - if Paradigm strings break or rust within 90 days, Ernie Ball will replace them. Paradigm strings feature superior break-resistance and unparalleled durability while delivering the iconic Slinky tone Ernie Ball is known for.  

Strength: Ernie Ball's new state-of-the-art wire drawing process coupled with their patented RPS (reinforced plain string) technology dramatically increase tensile strength by up to 37% and provide up to 70% more fatigue strength than traditional string sets. 

Durability: Each Paradigm string is plasma cleaned providing improved corrosion resistance coupled with Ernie Ball's patented Everlast nanotreatment which repels sweat and build up to keep your strings clean and crisp with zero change to the legendary Slinky tone and feel.

Best strings

I seen people was giving these strings bad reviews because after 2 weeks of playing everyday, they said strings go bad. I have NEVER had any issues with these strings, i for one say replace your strings every 2 weeks anyway ESPECIALLY if you play everyday. But owning multiple guitars sometimes it never goes that way, i have now had these on my jackson, and i put them on 5 months ago, play everyday and there still going strong, hardly any rust, definitely tell their wore out but over all BEST STRINGS on the market, great tone, great durability, never breaks, and great feel.

Strings broke

I bought these strings expecting they wouldn't break like they say. So I bought a set went home and put them on my guitar. They sound nice and do last a while from my what I've seen. 2 weeks after putting them on one of the strings broke. The company promises the strings will not break, it took 2 weeks to break a string. Although the strings are excellent sounding and feel great.

    I've never really bought coated strings, but these are really good so far. They feel like they can stand up a little bit longer, then regular strings. It's been about three weeks and they still feel pretty new, which is great.

  • I've become a loyalist to this line of strings

    These strings sound great, feel great, and last way way longer than the regular Ernie Ball strings. They do cost more, but you make that up in how long they last.

  • Awesome Strings!

    These work great. I previously had some 8 gauge strings due to arthritis. These bend just as easily and they sound better
