DR Strings Hi-Def NEON Multi-Color Coated Medium Electric Guitar Strings

Description
DR Strings NEONs are super bright color-coated strings that sound clear, bright and musical. These Multi-Color Medium Electrics are an excellent idea for those learning to play or just wanting to add pizazz to their rig. It's easy for players to fall in love with the bright color that matches their remarkable sound. Super bright in daylight and under stage lighting, DR' Strings NEONs are 100% black light active and glow strongly under UV lighting. These strings will last you as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) maintaining a sound that is not only good, but better than top-quality uncoated strings.

Great for Rocksmith, not great for just playing

I decided to pick up guitar after a 15 year break and found Rocksmith to be a pretty useful tool. I put these on my guitar to help with getting familiar with the fretboard and neck. Because it's been awhile. The first couple of days, the strings sounded great with no issues, but a couple of weeks in, some of the strings sound muted a little bit and are just not as crisp as non-coated strings. i'll probably take these off sooner than later. I would recommend these for RockSmith but if you're looking to just dress up your guitar, I would caution against them.

After years of learning to read tablature, and now learning to play through Rocksmith, needed these strings to help through that transition. Each color matches what's on the screen which makes is 10 times easier to follow. The overall sound is good, on the heavy muted side, but perfect for what I need them for

I'm a beginner and I never learned to read music. I bought these strings specifically to play along with the game Rocksmith 2014. For those who are just starting out, these strings make it easier to learn to play because of the individual colors of each string. I have bought multiple packs of these strings. I've recently bought a electric guitar, acoustic/electric, and a bass. I have put these strings on all three. Love them. As an added bonus, these strings really light up underneath a black light.

I've been playing/collecting new and vintage guitars for 26 years, and regularly try new strings. I noticed that if these strings contact the bridge when re-stringing, the color will chip off immediately. Secondly, they feel like dull plastic. This feels like your fingers are dragging, and seems "cheap". Thirdly, I had to adjust all the pickup heights on the low-E, as the heavier strings sound completely dull and lifeless. I also received a damaged string, and contacted DR customer service. I haven't even received a response in two weeks, which demonstrates how unimportant we are. In this day and age, where online retail is more important then ever, this is unacceptable. This is NOT a reflection on Guitar Center, which always takes good care of me. Ultimately, these strings are a cheesy gimmick that will hopefully fade out. If you want quality coated-strings, try Elixir.
