    Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky

    I am having serious problems tuning these new strings. Any thing I try to tune to is either to high or to low. Any ideas on what my problem might be?

    Did you stretch the strings? I'm not sure what you mean by too high or too low.

    What are you trying to tune to??
    The Beefy SLinkys are optimal for de-tuning. You might even need to make some adjustments
    on your guitar to compinsate the heavy gauges...

    go for the "Not Even Slinky" set, I've got it on C and I'm quite sure it can handle the B if you like 9's on the top in standart tuning.
