  • Ernie Ball Strings
    Ernie Ball Strings Ernie Ball Strings Why don't you provide tension information for your strings? Although we do not have published tension values on our website, we are happy to assist you with any technical questions that you may have. In some cases, published string tensions can be misleading or inaccurate depending on the situation. String tension is only one of many important factors that can go into determining the right strings for your instrument and will differ based on scale length and tuning. Furthermore, the perceived tension can be quite different than the theoretical tension as a string's flexibility and responsiveness can be affected by even more factors including string construction, instrument setup, and bridge type. We err on the side of not oversimplifying each string to a number, but we are glad to assist you with these sorts of technical inquiries based on your individual needs. Ernie Ball Strings I experienced a problem with your strings. What should I do? Here at Ernie Ball we employ strict quality control standards and are committed to producing the highest quality musical instrument strings. Unfortunately there are many factors that can lead to a shorter string life. String attack, pick thickness, and finger oils are just a few factors that contribute to some players breaking more strings than others. Most strings break around the bridge. If this is happening repeatedly, you might need to replace the saddles. When the string is tightened, the saddle is the point at which the string makes the most contact and has the most tension, therefore needs special attention.
