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

Product Information

Most tuning stability issues with strings come from the string ball attachment (the lump at the end that stops the string sliding through the bridge!) or from poor stretching out when first fitted. 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. What To Do If My Paradigm String Breaks? Ernie Ball utilises a special ‘Plasma Process’ to heat the wire – this removes contaminants and smooths out any defects, helping to prevent against corrosion.

The Ernie Ball Paradigm strings are the first guitar strings to come with a guarantee that they won't break! If your strings break or rust within 90 days, Ernie Ball will replace them! A consumer has statutory rights in relation to the Product and those rights are not in any way affected by this Guarantee.With the Paradigm strings, you won't have to have that pre-show feeling that tonight you may break a string. They're so strong that you can go out and play as hard as you want with confidence that the strings won't break. This is because of a new wire drawing process that ensures the string doesn't lose strength. Here's what Ernie Ball say about the Paradigm strings: 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.

The longevity of the strings is definitely better than other sets I’ve played. As a player who usually uses coated strings, I look for longevity for touring and playing under warm, sweaty conditions. They beat the performance of my usual coated strings.” Are Paradigm strings worth it?

About Ernie Ball Paradigm

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 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.

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. String Gauges and Sets While these Paradigm strings have proved their worth for us, we’ve all used them in our range of standard playing styles and musical situations with our, admittedly, nicely setup guitars. If you’ve got a guitar with sharp edges (we’re thinking tremolo, saddles, nut etc) or if you have particularly corrosive sweat, we suggest you still treat these strings nicely! So don’t forget to wipe your guitar down after playing and use some Ernie Ball string cleaners for optimum use. Like any other strings, look after them and they’ll look after you! 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! Player’s thoughts:“Brighter tone. They have kept their ‘new’ sound for much longer. Smooth bends and better balance across the strings than my previous set.Will I change to Paradigm? Erm, resoundingly, yeah!! There's a sense of reliability and trust that I've acquired with Paradigms that gives me the confidence to go at it hard and not worry about the toll on my strings. They're like redecorating and updating your house, they're new and upgraded, superior in tone and stronger in performance but there's still a little bit of home.

The Paradigm strings seem to require very little stretching out when new and I have had absolutely no issues with the ball attachment moving. 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! 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!
