Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Paradigm Electric Guitar Strings - 10-46 Gauge

Product Information

Player’s thoughts: “Initially felt smoother on the bare strings than other non-coated sets I’ve played. The plasma process was also tangible on the wound strings, but slightly less so. They had a more polished texture than other non-coated sets. The wrap wire on the Paradigm wound strings is plasma-enhanced for corrosion resistance and Everlast treated for unparalleled repellency of oils, sweat and gunk & debris build-up. Experience the first set of longer lasting strings that are worth playing with all benefits and no compromises. Ernie Ball Paradigm strings feature a state-of-the-art wire drawing process coupled with their own RPS (Reinforced Plain String) technology. Compared to traditional strings, this radically increases tensile strength (up to 35%) and fatigue strength (up to 70%), and results in a string that is far less likely to break or corrode. Ernie Ball has even offered a 90-day guarantee against breakage! Smashed out some AC/DC and Tina Turner live at a gig, sweated all over them. They were fine! Practised the next day and they were still in tune and played like new. Like any strings, they need playing in, but after that they feel really natural to play.” The Ernie Ball Paradigm strings are the first guitar strings to come with a guarantee that they won't break! If your strings break or rust within 90 days, Ernie Ball will replace them!

There are not many guitar strings that come with a 90-day guarantee against rust or breakage *. In fact, Ernie Ball’s Paradigm strings are the first to do so! Are Paradigm strings worth it? We put Ernie Ball’s most innovative guitar strings to our team of guitar staff to see what they thought… Unlike cheaper strings, they don’t seem to go rusty or show any kind of corrosion. Everyone has different body chemistry of course, so I can’t say 100% that this will be the case for everybody but for me, there is no sign of corrosion at all;

What To Do If My Paradigm String Breaks?

The New Paradigm strings still have that legendary tone and character that all of these artists love. Except they’re pushing the boundaries of durability, strength and life of a simple string. What To Do If My Paradigm String Breaks?

To find which Ernie Ball electric guitar strings are right for you, the key is experimentation. Figure out which strings sound best to your ear, feel best on your fingers, and enable you to create the music you want to create. As a starting point, consider our best-selling Regular Slinkys, played by artists across many genres on stages big and small. Regular Slinkys’ ever-popular 10-to-46 gauge, often referred to as “10s” or “10 gauge,” provides players with a nice balance of tension and tone.It won’t be money wasted, they are excellent strings, I just happen to prefer the sound of my beloved Ernie Ball M Steel strings! In this respect, they are very similar indeed to the performance of the M steel strings. How Is The Durability Of The Paradigm Strings? Player’s thoughts:“These strings sound brighter and more balanced than my usual set. Played a few warm and sweaty gigs and they have maintained their ‘new’ tone for much longer. Once treated with plasma, the wire is drawn to the correct gauge and coated in Everlast, a ground-breaking nanotechnology developed at Princeton University. This nano coating covers the entirety of the wound string and creates a barrier against moisture and oils – the common causes of tone loss over time. While these Paradigm strings have proved their worth for us, we’ve all used them in our range of standard playing styles and musical situations with our, admittedly, nicely setup guitars. If you’ve got a guitar with sharp edges (we’re thinking tremolo, saddles, nut etc) or if you have particularly corrosive sweat, we suggest you still treat these strings nicely! So don’t forget to wipe your guitar down after playing and use some Ernie Ball string cleaners for optimum use. Like any other strings, look after them and they’ll look after you!

I have a big list in my Ernie Ball M Steel strings review , but to name a very few select players that endorse Ernie Ball strings:Even with a few extreme bends as a test and they haven’t broken yet! They haven’t corroded at all, despite having played a couple of long wedding gigs and regular practice sessions in warm, humid conditions.” Yes, most Ernie Ball volume pedals can be rebuilt/repaired* (All new pedals carry a 6 month manufacturer warranty). We offer two different services. They've changed the game completely by creating these incredibly strong and reliable strings, without losing that signature Ernie Ball Slinky tone. The nano-coating is thin enough to ensure that the string won't corrode but it still resonates and rings like an uncoated string would. And they won't flake like many coated strings do so you won't get that 'fluff' on the lower strings. Ready To Gig What’s your gauge?
