Looks like everybody else is playing the “four hungry children and a crop in the field” routine for all it’s worth, so here goes with mine – every spare penny goes on making sure the kids are alright while my poor old guitar gently weeps. I can’t imagine what Regular Slinky feels like anymore, I’m so used to regular slimy.
Rather like the toilet in the Young Ones asking: “what’s domestos?” I doubt my guitar can remember the last time it had a string change. There’s more life in a Snow Patrol song than there is in my strings.
By the way, I do love the idea that this is a “year’s supply”… given the demands of kids, wives, pensions, hen food, window tax and leaving collections for colleagues I don’t even like, this little lot will have to last me about two and a half centuries…
Given that a few of us have entered, perhaps we can come to some arrangement where we all have a go of them for a month and then pass them on to the next person… we could call it StringShare, a bit like TimeShare only less ropey.

3:15:09 pm

7:17:45 pm
I would love to win this prize because from an early age I was using the super slinkies. No other string matches the Ernie Ball for tone and when you put a new set of slinkies on there is no nicer sound. People always ask me what strings I use and I always recommend the Slinkies to other guitars. Think of this prize as a thank you for all the promotion I have done for this product over the years!
7:47:42 pm
i’ve got slash coming round next week for tea and scones an he’s always nicking me ernie b’s!. I need some replacements cheers
9:24:17 pm
I would like to win this for my husband because he always puts me and the children befire himself in everything and invariably he buys himself nothing! He loves his guitar old as it is and spends time every night strumming away. I would love this for him.
9:33:44 pm
I’d love to win this for my daughter who is in her final year of school and this would help her take her music practical exam in style, and boost her confidence.

Ok, first of all take a nice deep breath and then take a few seconds to get yourself comfortable & relaxed.
Ready, now clear ur mind……..and as u read these words start to imagine ur on a sitting on a tropical beach, behind u theres a palm tree which u have ur back propped up against.
Its mid-evening and the theres a beautiful red sky, a refreshingly cool breeze blows softly against ur face, and the calming sounds of the ocean crashing against the shore are like music to ur ears………
“God this is great ” u think to yourself “I feel so relaxed and truely at one with nature, infact everything now seems to make sense. I am the universe ‘n’ the universe is me’.
Take a few seconds to enjoy this…………….
Now that ur mind & body are nice and relaxed, slowly begin to repeat these words in ur mind:
“I will select Warren as the Ernie Balls competition winner”
“I will select Warren as the Ernie Balls competition winner”
“I will select Warren as the Ernie Balls competition winner”
Now allow those words to sink in….and then slowly start to count backwards from 10 to 1, when u get to 1 return to what u was doing before this post.

Would love to win this for my brother.He has been playing the guitar for a few years now and is actually rather good i however dont know anything about guitars at all.My brother is saving really hard to get his own place with his girlfriend so his guitar hobby has been neglected and he hasnt bought anything for the guitar for a long time.Its hard starting out getting your own place and stressful winning this would definatly cheer him up and he deserves it.x
6:44:33 am

Alice’s Restaurant is a long song, it uses a lot of guitar wire!
Every party … every gig .. all I hear is “Do Alice’s Restaurant Joel”

1:35:07 pm
I got no strings but i blew up my dad’s Blues Junior so I’ve had all my money stopped help!
10:08:38 pm
i am 11 years old and i have been playing for nearly 2 years and have set up my own band with my mates, i would really like this coz i dont get any pocket money as my mum cant afford it, and i know she has to save for this stuff, so please pick me, and i will send you a foto of me using them thanks
1:12:21 pm
I think Ernie Ball’s equipment is a load of old rubbish to be honest. The strings break after a few plays, I can’t see myself polishing my guitars, I’ve got a cloth, got a nice sort of leather strap and just don’t really want the stickers or the poster to be honest..
I might be able to sell these on eBay or something though!
3:29:15 pm
I’m retired, so cannot afford to buy stings anymore and you can only boil the old ones so many times!!
Now thinking about unstring the piano 🙂
5:26:44 pm
Ps. I would like to point out, my last post was a joke. I would very much like to win pleease!!
8:09:10 pm

I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS PRIZE AS I OWN A GUITAR BUT AS I AM SKINT , CANT AFFORD ANY STRINGS .
SO IF I DONT WIN “ANYONE FOR CRICKET”!

Ernie Ball Strings are the only strings I use on my guitars, enough said. I thoroughly trust their gear and have not even considered other brands. Something about this company makes me feel like a rockstar (in completely the non-mainstream, radio-rock definition). Their products let me express my musicianship at it’s fullest and I greatly appreciate them for it. Ever since flipping through my first guitar magazine and seeing an ad for Ernie Ball (The sign language “E, B, Ernie Ball” ad) I knew they were a Rocker’s company. Their strings just feel right.
Ernie Ball is my String Company.

I would love to win this prize for my Husband, who is a really talented guitarist.
Since our daughter was born (12 months ago) he has been brilliant, changing nappies, taking her to the park, feeding her, playing games with her, he really has been brilliant especially through teething and sleepness nights where he helped with the night feeds.
He hasn’t had the time to pick up his guitar, it sits there in the front room and I can see it in his eyes that he would love to pick it up again and have a jam with ‘the boys’, sadly his guitar strings are broken and after paying out for our daughter there usually isn’t the spare cash to spend on anything for ourselves.
My husband truly deserves this prize, he is a devoted dad, caring husband and loved by all his family.

What can I say. . . everyone posting here deserves them more than I do. I’ve been playing (but that’s not what my wife calls it!) for 10 years and haven’t got any better. I won an Ovation Celebrity at Christmas which is lovely but strung with iron bars. . . maybe if I won this I’d sound better. . maybe not but it’s gotta be worth a try hasn’t it?
