Perfect

This pack of string by Ernie Ball are the one of best for drop tuning. Much better than purple pack the Ernie Ball Power Slinky (11-48). I would definetly recommend it.

Perfect for down tunning, but it depends

I wanted to play some songs in drop B tunning, I choose to do it in a Flying V, 24.75" scale right? Well I ended up buying some Not Even Slinky Sets (12-56), even some Daddario's 13-56 sets, I managed to do droped to B, but the strings felt horrible, they were waaaay waaaay to thick, so once I play it, I throw them away because I cannot tune them in other pitch (I'm not SRV nor have his tech), I thought to myself that I will never try to drop B anything again. Then I bought a Fender Strat to tune in 1 Step Down (D Standard) so I bought these string because it says Special for DeTunning, felt waaay stiff tuned to D Standard (probably would've managed with some Regular Slinkys, maybe some 10-52), so I them i figured why not try to Drop B with these and a 25.5" instrument?. Well, there you go, if you have a 25" (PRS ) or a 25.5" (Fender, Squier, some Jacksons etc) these are perfect for Drop C# Drop B tunnings with a normal tension feel, if you put these in a 24.75" instrument (Gibson and most brands) they will be perfect for anything from Eb (Half step down) to Drop C. (1 step down Drop D), after that you'll need some 12's and a setup. At least for me

From Drop D to Drop C, These feel amazing

These are my go to strings from mainly drop c#. I've also played these in drop d and in drop c too and they feel just as good in both of these tunings. If you need a set of high quality stings for anything as low as drop c to as high as drop d/e standard with some tension. These should definitely be in you gear bag.

They're alright but not amazing

So I guess i'm the only guy who uses these tuned to E standard on my Les Pauls. I love heavy gauge strings, can't stnd thin strings. I very really tune to drop D for the odd song. They are alright but don't last as long as Daddario strings in my opinion they go dead very quick and don't hold tune anywhere near as well even with locking tuners and being stretched correctly which is just confusing to me. Other than that they feel alright and don't sound too bad either for about 1 and a half - two months

Overall, is very comfortable to play

I had a very difficult time soloing on the 3th string ( 22plain). The tension is OK if you want to go for Drop C#, Drop C, or Drop B ( I use the Fluff's Mammoth Slinky set 12-62 nowadays). Do not try to go lower than that, cause ypu're gonna get spaghetti strings even with a high action on the bridge and nut.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Great down-tuning strings

Great for Drop C but they don’t destroy my fingers.

Consistently good strings

I tune to C Standard and these Beefy Slinky Strings handle the tuning well while retaining tension.

Great for tuning down!

These strings are great for tuning down to C# Standard on my Gibson for heavy playing. These strings have never broken on me, and I'm one helluva heavy-handed player!

great strings

These are my electric strings. I love thicker gauge strings and these are the perfect match. I found 10's to be to light, 11's felt right, and 12+ I use on occasion but not much.

Very good

I like this gauge a lot, these and 11-52's are good, I don't detune them they are used for standard.
