Great strings

Jurica 21.04.2023

These are great , they are 9's with high e .08 and g string .14 which is even lighter than in regular 8's. So you have lots of fun when soloing. I was actually transitioning from 10's to 9.5's before trying these. But now I think I am going to buy few more sets.
You may need to adjust your playing if you used 10's before. But if you used 9's and these will give you more flexibility without need to adjust. They last long time so I recommend.

Excellent hybrid set

Dulak 12.05.2023

Extremely happy with Ernie Ball coming out with this hybrid set. Always loved 8s but felt the bottom 2 strings could be just a smidge thicker. This set is perfect for me.

Great sounding but fragile!

Paulcha 25.01.2023

Strings sound great, feel great.
Putting the strings on I broke the high e as soon as I had it to pitch. Tuned to e, bent up a full step to get a feel for the tension and the string broke immediately.
I guess that is the risk you take putting 8's on a strat.... Had to use my second set straight away which sound and feel great.

I like EB anyway...

JArling 29.04.2024

because they stood up against Microsoft -- but that's another story. Their strings, though, make a world of difference compared to those provided with the guitar (an HB-35+), both acoustically and amplified. I was not sure .08s could d stand heavy bending -- they can, up to 4-5 half notes, at which point I have to give up. And they're dirt cheap.
