## Questions & Answers

**Q: i got these to try but felt heavier than regular slinkys is that right**
A: They shouldn’t be any different as the gauge is exactly the same.

**Q: How do I find out the length of the strings**
A: Guitar strings are a standard length, you just tighten them up and clip the excess off after tuning the guitar

**Q: Absolutely nowhere in this ad is it mentioned whether these strings are flat wound, round wound, half round wound or what?!! What are these strings pl**
A: Ernie Ball Slinky Classic Rock N Roll Pure Nickel wrap electric guitar strings are made from pure nickel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire, these guitar strings produce a warm rich tone with that signature Slinky feel.

**Q: I have been given a briarwood acoustic guitar, would these work on it?**
A: Knowing Briarwood guitars, the first thing I would do is try to establish how close the strings are to the fingerboard. If there is a big gap, then the guitar will be uncomfortable and difficult to play, but strings like this may it slightly more tolerable. If the gap is big, you would probably be better off investing in a well set up instrument rather than spending much on fixing or restringing that one. If the string height is acceptable, then you would get a better sound with bronze acoustic strings, rather than these nickel electric strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Springy Zingy Stringy
*by M***L on 17 May 2023*

I used to use Slinky's back in the day. I usually pound on my poor strings and wouldn't normally go for a super slinky light 9e/11b/16g set. I've bought them specifically for a telecaster that I use to record lead guitar parts when I want a lot of tone to cut through a mix. These are working great. They needed a day to stretch out and then stay in tune but now they are exactly what I wanted. Great price too. I recommend these for someone looking for a bright and bendable set of strings.
