i was used to other brands, however since i started tuning my guitar on C standard, i found these to be the perfect gauge strings for my requirements.

i really cant stop recommending them. they are also well-priced.

Very good for drop tuning
Sophus 16.02.2022
Bought these, for drop tuning, and they are perfect for the job. Heavy, and stable at lower tunings, like drop C or drop B.

Perfect for the Jazzmaster
guitar_den 08.06.2017
I just ordered the Ernie Ball 2627 Beefy Slinky for my Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. I always had some problems with fret buzz, even the buzzstop couldn?t help. After some research I found out that I need some more ?beefier? strings in order to stop a Jazzmasters? fret buzz. And the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky really helped in that case. All of the fret buzz is gone now. I?m used to play Ernie Ball Super Slinky or Regular Slinky so I?m really glad that I didn?t need to use 012-gauge. The quality and the of the strings is really good as you can expect from Ernie Ball. They stay in tune perfectly and are really durable. I?ve got them for about half a year on my Jazzmaster and I can?t complain about the sound. As far as my jazzmaster is concerned, I will always use the Beefy Slinky.

I just loved them
GuitarPlayerFromMinsk 31.10.2017
It's very cool strings, even if you play in standard regime. It's perfect for those guitarists, who plays hard and expressively. I broke some strings but it was totally annihilation of the guitar, believe me. So take them, if you scared to brake the strings at your next gig.

My go-to set of strings
C M S 24.04.2021
Lately I've been finding myself ordering a pack of Beefy Slinkys with every guitar I get. They've become my go-to set of strings over the last couple of years. They're cheap, yet hold their own in the string world.
Granted, they're a little treble-heavy, but even over time as the strings stretch and your oils dampen the string a bit it becomes less of a problem, although at that point it's time to get new strings. However, that's just a minor nuisance that can be remedied through EQ.
The Beefy Slinkys are also versatile tuning-wise. I've had them in all kinds of tunings, from E standard to C# standard and drop B. Below C# standard they do start to get a little loose though, so I'd go with a set of 12s below that. It's tougher to do bends on the higher notes in E standard but it's a good workout for my fingers!

Overall, if you're looking for a good and cheap set of strings that aren't too tough to play but aren't too flimsy, the Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky is the way to go, in my opinion!

Unbeatable
Recaster Guitar Workshop 06.08.2021
As a lone tech in my own workshop I will fit whatever strings my customer wants. But if they ask me, It's usually Ernie Balls I recommend. The range is extensive and the quality, at the price point is fantastic. I've yet to have an EB unwind at the ball end or snap at the tuner when installing theses strings. Once they're stretched in, they hold their tune for ages.

Slinky that's beefy
Ivo S 30.05.2022
It's all good on the slinky front. It's a decent string set that lasts well enough. Nothing that really blows your mind but there's barely anything to whine about. Sound is there, it's really up to you to choose the right gauge, I find these to be good for D standard tuning on short scale guitars, such as Les Paul's.

Can't complain and I won't.

The Ultimate Choice
HectorSFT 11.05.2021
This set of strigs is the best I've tried so far.
Clean sound and smooth for guitarist's fingers.
Totally value for money choice.

I always use these strings since at least 10 years back, they never fail me. They also sometimes keep up so much time without breaking just because of my laziness of changing them.
