help Ernie Ball Paradigm Electric Strings FAQ

What makes Ernie Ball Paradigm strings harder to break?

Paradigm strings combine a high-strength steel core with reinforcement at common stress points and a protective treatment against corrosion. They are designed to retain the familiar feel of Ernie Ball Slinky strings rather than behaving like a heavily coated set.

Which Paradigm gauge matches Regular Slinky strings?

Paradigm Regular Slinky is the 10-46 electric-guitar set. Players wanting a lighter setup can choose Paradigm Super Slinky in 9-42, while heavier gauges are available for lower tunings.

Are Paradigm strings coated like Elixir strings?

Paradigm uses Ernie Ball's plasma-enhanced treatment and other protective manufacturing processes, but it is not marketed as a conventional thick polymer coating. Elixir Nanoweb strings use a distinct coating system that many players can feel under the fingers.

Do Paradigm strings require a new guitar setup?

Replacing an existing set with the same gauge usually requires little or no adjustment. Moving from 9-42 to 10-46 or another substantially different tension can require changes to intonation, neck relief, nut slots, or a tremolo system.
