Ive been using EB 9-42 super slinky. Sobrang tumatagal sya and for a lazy person like me, i like my strings soft and effortless for bends thus i prefer such. Currently, i am using PRS strings, same guage but it does not perform as good as the EB. Reason why i bought this strings is becuase its cheaper than EB. But the next time i restring, id buy EB again. With proper care, it can last for more than 6 mos.
