In a GuitarPlayer interview with Brad Paisley, when asked what his basic signal chain is, he talks about the Ernie Ball strings he uses: > "I still use .010-.046 Ernie Ball strings on most of my guitars, the only variation being that I’ve also started using their new Coated Titanium Electric Slinky strings. I like using them on my ’60s Buck Owens Tele because the coating gives strings a slightly darker, more broken in sound, which is good, because that Tele is usually too bright sounding with fresh strings."

"For strings, I like Ernie Ball’s Regular Slinky set, gauged a .010 to .046, but with a custom third string. For quite a few years I used a .016 instead of the stock .017, but these days I’ve been using a .015 and I don’t notice a significant difference in tone. Music Man still sends me guitars with a .016 third. Maybe I should tell them what I’m doing."

Excerpt from an interview with Ben Chasny by (Sir) Richard Bishop: BS - Are you particular about guitar strings? I believe that as guitar players we should be able to pick up any guitar at any time, no matter what kind of strings it has, and still be capable of entertaining an audience. BC - You would think that, but I had to put on 12-gauge strings recently and, man, did I suck. I use 10s, same as Angus Young. He plays guitar in a band called AC/DC. RB - Never heard of him! I bet he dresses funny. BC - With the lighter gauge I can get the strings really buzzing when I detune. Sometimes a sound person will inform me that I have some buzz. Hey! Thanks! I never noticed that in all the years I have been playing. Good ear.

En esta imagen se ven las cuerdas de su Epiphone LP 100 _________________________________________________________________________________ Desde que obtuvo su Les Paul 100, Flavio comenzó a utilizar encordados Ernie Ball por su comodidad a la hora de tocar y su tan simple empaquetado. "La verdad, tener 6 meses una guitarra con las mismas cuerdas es casi como tirarse al vacío, pero con Ernie Ball no me pasó. Estuve 8 meses con las mismas 6 cuerdas y no pasó nada. Recién cuando le cambié las cuerdas se cortó la 1ra, pero supongo que habrá sido por el cambio de tensiones en el alma de la guitarra" - Flavio Flores
