Our Teachers' Review
Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings are the most popular electric guitar strings for good reason — the 10-46 gauge provides a great balance of playability and tone that works for everything from rock to jazz to blues. They're comfortable for beginners and satisfying for advanced players.
Electric guitar strings should be changed every 1-2 months, or whenever they start to sound dull or feel rough. Our teachers recommend always having a spare set available, since a broken string during practice shouldn't end the session.
