Agréablement surpris
Stef19 02.04.2022
Alors, c'est la première fois que je les prends
déjà l'emballage 200% hermétique ce qui est un excellent point
Quand j'ai pris la corde de Mi grave en main, j'ai fait waouwww , en sent la douceur, la bonne glisse rien que de la tenir entre les doigts
Son impeccable, tenue d'accord impeccable , je n'ai pas du les étirées 20 fois.
Reste a voir la durée de vie
j'ai toujours utilisé principalement des Elixir
maintenant Ernie ball Paradigm va t'il changer la donne, A VOIR !
les moins = le prix un peu haut, mais peut être justifier ?

These feel just like Regular Ernie Ball Slinkys....but wait!
80 Proof Mojo (Band) 23.08.2018
I was a bit sceptical when I first tried these, (On a S/B Gibson Les Paul Standard) and by pure chance had recently fitted standard Slinkys to my spare Les Paul, so I had a chance to evaluate their performance with an easy A/B comparison.

I rarely break strings, and in fact hadn't done so for about 5 years, but recently broke two strings (standard Slinkys) within the same song at a Festival gig, and it was a one off when I didn't have a spare in standard tuning, only my open G slide guitar, but that's another story.

The Paradigm won't guarantee they won't break, but they do say they last longer.
I bought my first set about 18 months ago, and my band plays about 3 or 4 gigs a month, rehearsing about the same, plus me playing at home. the standard Slinkys would last at best a month (I'm not Slash or the Edge who change them every night). With the Paradigm I am getting at least double that lifespan. the longest I've had them on my main guitars without noticing any detriment to the tone was about 10 weeks. To my ears they don't sound any different to regular Slinkys, they don't feel especially different, they just last longer.
Price wise? One pack works out just slightly cheaper than 3 regular packs, without the hassle of having to change them so often, so it's really "Swings and Roundabouts". Give them a go. You might be surprised.

Just simple the best
James Bum 23.03.2022
been using since 2019 and they never let me down. Advice for the young at heart and for the dinossaurs out there: buy these and use them, they will become favourites.

Really solid strings
Cuthy 22.07.2018
I think these are the best string I've ever had. Any other set started rusting within week or two (I have really aggressive sweat) and with these, 3+ months and barely visible marks, sound as almost new ;). Yup, I'll keep using these.

Pros:
+ Longevity - over 3 months, still crisp sound, No rust / black spots
+ Sound - is close to regular slinkies

Cons:
- Price (maybe) - normally, I would changed to next set/s long time ago.

Great strings but
ilikeinstruments 20.03.2022
Bought them as a possible alternative to my favorite coated strings and although I found them to be great sounding and rust free strings, by changing tuning frequently I've noticed they tended to snap quite frequently.

Underwhelmed
Marco_M 01.03.2021
Really good... For about 10 days.
After that the sound degrades like regular EB strings. Not a good product for my use case. They do not compare favorably to 6 months old Elixir Optiwebs.
After having tried pretty much every string brand and string type on earth I think I've found my brand (and it's not Ernie Ball).

Excellent Product
Nawdi 24.05.2017
Very good guitar strings. They feel very comfortable and offer a great sense of security that they can withstand any scenario whilst playing guitar, and will not break.

Sound wise the are very balanced, which I like.

Will definitely be using them exclusively on all my guitars.

Indestructible!
Producer and Media Composer 11.05.2021
I just use these strings as they sound good but also you'll never brake one! And having reliable strings when you are working is a plus!
I started using them 4 years ago and those are just awesome.
