As a guitar player, you’re always going to need fresh guitar strings, whether you’re a bedroom-exclusive player or you’re regularly gigging your local venues. Strings are one of those things you’ll always need more of, which makes this probably the most useful deal I’ve come across this Black Friday. Last year I stocked up on a shedload of my favorite Skinny Top Heavy Bottom string sets and it’s one of the best investments I made in my playing, saving me plenty of time and money in the long run.

I’ve been playing Ernie Ball strings for pretty much my whole playing career and although I’ve had some brief stings trying out other brands, I’ve always ended up with Ernie Ball’s back on my guitars. My picking style is pretty aggressive and whatever it is about Ernie Ball string construction had meant they rarely break with my playing style, lasting long enough for me to need to change them due to the build-up of dirt and grime.

If you’re not an electric guitar aficionado don’t worry, there’s a great selection of Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic guitar strings available in the sale too. There’s plenty of choice in terms of gauge and you can choose between Phosphor Bronze and 80/20 Bronze sets too. At this price you could even pick up multiple gauges or material types and shoot them out to see if your favorite really is the best for you.
