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

Product Information

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.” 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.” The sole remedy for breach of the Guarantee and Limited Warranty shall be this express Guarantee and Limited Warranty.

It’s almost suicidal for a string company to offer replacements for string breakages. They happen all the time right? Not with Paradigms. This means you could tour the whole of Europe, for 3 months on one set of guitar strings! Player’s thoughts:“Much brighter than my previous strings with a natural bell-like ring and sustain. They are a lot smoother to play than I thought they would be, as I normally use coated strings. A nice tension at E-Standard tuning also produces some bluesy bends. 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: 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…

What To Do If My Paradigm String Breaks?

The images below are an illustration of the difference between a traditional coating and Ernie Ball’s Everlast Nanotreated string. 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. 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

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! With either rebuild we thoroughly test your volume pedal to ensure it once again works good as new. All rebuilds also include a warranty from the time of repair. If you own a high-performance sports vehicle, would you put the cheapest possible tires on it and use the cheapest engine oil? Bit of a false economy, wouldn’t you say? Buying strings at this price point will likely be 1-2% or less of the cost of your guitar, and you want the best out of your guitar, don’t you? 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! All of our guitarists noticed a definite improvement in tone and longevity with Ernie Ball’s Paradigm strings. Even during one of the hottest summers in years, they retained their bright tone where other strings may have given up, thriving in a variety of real-life situations, such as gigging, recording, and practising.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! Unbreakable? I’m not sure why this was chosen as the main “tag line” for these strings. Ok, so it’s cool to have Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci saying so, but surely the tone is important as well? Do they break – not for me. I’ve given them very hard use and they haven’t broken so they score highly on this aspect. 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. Ernie Ball’s Paradigm strings are the most break resistant strings on the planet - they’ll even guarantee it! Providing an industry leading level of strength and longer life, Paradigm strings demonstrate an unprecedented advance in string technology while still retaining 100% of the Slinky tone and feel that the top players of the last 40 years and come to love and demand. I’ve been using the Paradigm strings on my Ernie Ball Music Man JPXI for around 3 months now and they certainly haven’t dulled down or broken – they certainly last the course and offset the additional initial cost.

So, what gives these strings their superior strength? And how do they resist for longer against corrosion? RPS Technology

Why Should I Choose Ernie Ball Paradigm?

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.
