If you keep breaking strings and need something more durable, you should consider the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Coated Titanium Set. They stay in tune better and last up to five times longer than traditional strings. Ernie Ball has developed a coated formula that vibrates and feels like a traditional string, so the compromise is now silent – pretty good, really.

Taking a different approach than classic string design, Ernie Ball has created a string that combines the best qualities of an uncoated string (much more resonant with a more natural feel) and a coated string (much more durable). This way, you can also handle sweaty hands when shredding (or not shredding).
