Re: d'addarios vs ernie balls

I've used D'Addarios for awhile, and hadn't played EBs for several years until a few weeks ago. They didn't feel like anything special, so I think I might pick up another pack just to be sure.

For now I err on the side of D'Addario.

Re: d'addarios vs ernie balls

I tried a guitar with D'Addario's the other day and liked the feel. Can't say much for the sound as they were on a Stagg strat copy through the crappy 10W Stagg amp that came with it... (I was teaching the daughter of a friend of mine some chords on her first guitar)

EB all the way for me... play them on all my guitars, and always have.
Don't like the tone or lack of stable tuning from all other strings. I have tried a lot of other strings too.... always go back to the EB's

Ernie Balls always rust in a few days for me, even after wiping down the strings after playing. Ive been using D'addarios for years now, I love them.

I like the D's, but only cuz they offer half sizes.

Re: d'addarios vs ernie balls

I went through the phase where I tried all the other brands, and I ended up coming back to D'Addario.

I don't bother trying other strings anymore.
