## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it low in sugar?**
A: Yes, sugar-free in fact. You could always sprinkle some on though if that's your preference.

**Q: Will these work on a Gibson Les Paul Special II?**
A: Short answer, yes. They will work on most guitars, provided they are the proper scale length. The high e is prone to snapping without much effort. Mine snapped after 2 weeks of regular use whilst loosening them up for guitar maintenance. Still good value though.

**Q: Do they play ok in C# standard?**
A: Yes they play fine in most tunings above standard A

**Q: I restrung my guitar with these strings (they are the right gauge for the guitar) but now all the frets are a semitone out of tune. Any way to fix?**
A: Make sure your intonation is set correctly.  To check intonation, fret string at twelfth fret then do open harmonic at same fret. They should sound the same.if sharp or flat then adjust bridge saddle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings and great price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff!
*by M***L on 20 February 2026*

Good price and good strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Power
*by B***1 on 25 May 2016*

Although these are definitely heavier gauge strings and are therefore thicker, I don't feel as though that thickness affects my ability to bend and pull off the way I need to. For fast and furious lead work, especially solos, you may find that these do hinder you slightly however, I'd recommend strengthening your fingers as opposed to amending your gauge if possible, especially if this gauge is the most appropriate for your musical style. For a rock, blues or a metal sound I personally find them ideal and must note that especially when chugging as opposed to riffing these are second to none. The sound they produce is crystal clear with very little to no unnecessary humming or feedback. The life term on these is pretty impressive too and I've found that I usually snap them before they wear out. I also find these are less prone to snap under heavy use than other same gauge strings on the market. Ernie Ball is the one for me personally... I use different gauge strings on different guitars to achieve a different sound but this isn't as necessary as with others as they really are so flexible and dynamic, although a more powerful sound is definitely clear when using Power Slinky. I'm never disappointed and genuinely love everything about this product and brand, from the packaging to the immaculate performance.
