Ernie Ball Paradigm: Stronger Than Don Felder

We asked Don Felder to discuss what breaks a guitar string and let him test drive a set of our brand new Ernie Ball PARADIGM strings.

Ernie Ball PARADIGM guitar strings are the latest innovation from the world's premiere maker of guitar strings since 1962. PARADIGM delivers superior strength, unparalleled durability and the legendary Ernie Ball tone we're known for, guaranteed.

If your set of PARADIGM strings break or rust within 90 days of purchase, we'll replace them.

Available in electric and acoustic in our most popular gauges.

If only SRV was still Paradigm strings are just about dead when you let him try a set. Still want a set tho.

[amirasghary]

you should ask Zakk Wylde or Steve Vai to play on these. if they can't break'em no body else can

[postaflip]

Thanks for demonstrating with all of Joe Walsh's licks.

[drebatista]

Felder playing Walsh's licks. How cool.

[joeyjohnson]

1:32 every time he does that I wince and want to guard my face

[DanielNavarro-uosg]

I havr used paradigm for months now one all my guitars. My squire strat, schecter, and my acoustic. All are strung with them

[batousaix]

I would like to watch the difference between other guitar strings with the same technique to break it, and to probe that is true.

[brendus]

Interesting, but what are the gauges?🎸🎸🎸

[jpottsgaming]

"Nobody's Bustin' These Balls" Ah ha ha ha XD

[gtrjay]

My D'Addarios don't break and stay fresh sounding longer than anything I've ever used. I've broke a lot of Ernie Balls.

[Aceroxx]

Slash guys, Slash. He uses EB's and that crazy bastard breaks strings all the time. I wanna see him go up against these!

[lucassoto]

IT'S REMARKABLE (for some reason i find how he says tjat really funny) 0:53

[uberlpg]

Just give them to Stephan Forte, we would check if it's​ the tremolo or the strings which break first.:D

[nsc]

Do these keep the strings in tune as well? How would they prevent from going out of tune, which happens at the tuning peg

P.S. I prefer to play 100% pure nickel strings

[ovserpent]

Are they stronger than Zakk Wylde tho?

[tastybaconsensation]

You guys should get Billie joe Armstrong to do one, or maybe el hefe from nofx!

[peterwu]

Intonation is the guitar... not the string - but hey - still pretty cool.

[alexhooi]

is it me or that strat sounded more like a les paul than a strat

[natecalhoun]

Bullshit I tried that D-G bend and it went out of tune 😂😂

[TheParisthething]

man nice strings...but that blackie...goddamn killer
