Really cool
Saw that Ernie Ball released some new strings, so decided to try them out.Slightly thicker than the 9's that were on my E standard Strats and Teles. I do notice a difference in playing, they're a bit 'tighter' than normal 9's, which makes sense. They provide the right tension without the discomfort that i get from 10's.

Perfect but...
Positive: Perfect strings to have if alternating between Eb and E Standard is your thing.
Negative: 2 strings came with a bit of rust which is a bummer...

String thickness
I love the 9,5's! They make bends a little easier than the 10's yet they're not as thin and don't break as easily as the 9's or 8's. I did however find the bottom strings a bit too thin...I'm a metal/prog player so I prefer the lower strings to be a bit thicker. That's why in the end I went for the turbo slinky's. Strings are always of excellent quality and so this is purely a personal choice!

Just what i needed
Great sounding and easy thin strings by ernie. More tone than the 9’s and more easy to play than the 10’s. Just what I was looking for.

Great set of sizes
I love how these are just slightly lighter than 10's. I go with these on fender scale guitars for to make them just slightly more comfortable to play than with slinky 10's.

Very nice set of gauges
I love the gauge and the feel of these strings, however these had worse tuning stability compared to elixirs / super slinkies in my experience.

Best strings in the world!
Not much to say....very good balanced tone, they last for long time if you take care of your guitar and clean them up with a dry cloth after playing. No rust!

A sound investment.
Sound quality at a reasonable price. Nice tone and simple to play. A great upgrade for a cheap guitar which is why I bought them.

Great in-between choice
They are reat if you think 10s are too much and 9s are too thin. They loose their "new" sound pretty fast, like all similar Ernie Ball strings do.

Perfect if 09 is too small and 10 is too thick!
