"After about 5 minutes of playing on the demo bass, my first question was how long the strings had been on the guitar. I was told almost two months. The reason I asked this was because the strings had the same crisp punch and ring of a fresh-from-the-box Sunbeams that made me fall in love with DR in the first place.

In regards to tonal quality, I doubt anyone would ever be able to pick out the difference between coated, colored and uncoated strings. The colored and coated strings sound great with phenomenal tone and sustain, and are nowhere near "dead" as some would think. 

I'd also like to call out the tactility of the strings. These strings are not rubbery or gummy in any way. They feel crisp and rigid, in the best ways, just as a regular set of strings. 

Visually the new neon strings are stunning. They jump out and grab your attention in literally any lighting. From outdoors in the sun, under shop lights, regular indoor to stage and blacklight lighting, they are bright, vibrant and consistent in color. 

All in all I was insanely impressed. DR has achieved something really amazing here. My hat is off to them and the brains behind this endeavor." Mick Gasm, PA

"I just gotta say...HOLY CRAP these strings are life changing, the local guitar repair guy suggested these to me and I couldn't be happier, I will never go back to Beefy Slinkys. I play in B F# B E G# C# and these things have the best response and snap back from any strings I've played. I know when I do a hammer on and pull off its gonna sound clean, its gonna have great tone and sweeps have become effortless, and the intonation on my guitar sounds better than ever with these bad boys on em. Thanks so much for making these, they are like a dream come true for the down tuning guitarist." Grif Carroll, WI (about our DDTs)

"I am a hardworking musician playing bass for 9 years. I have played countless shows from fire halls to CBGB’s. Over the years I have used all types of strings from the most expensive ******* strings to low end local music shop strings, rarely have I used the same type twice. Since I’ve discovered your Extra Life Black Beauties, my guitars wear nothing but that. From the action to the tension, to the color and everything in between, the Black Beauties are by far my absolute favorite strings and I thought it was absolutely necessary to let you know that." Omar, PA

"You dirty dogs, what gives here?. I gambled on a set of Tite Fit 11’s ...wow, beautiful. The tension is there but these strings have a pluckiness, is that a word? Almost like 10’s but not soggy and unresponsive. It’s tight but has a flex, pluck to it that just plays beautifully and sounds even better. The overall tension from string to string just blows my mind. I feel like a dumbass for not trying these strings sooner. I just wanted you to know that you made somebody’s day today." Dale, TX

"I have put a set of the Medium RARE on both my Martin D15 and Guild GAD acoustics. Man these strings sound like no others. There is a clarity, and depth that I have not had before. And they are comfortable to play." Red David

"I purchased a set of Medium RARE strings. They are really wonderful, and they last sooo well. They play well, sound great new, and then hold their playability for a really long time, I’ve used ********* literally for a couple of decades, but I’m converted! Now, I’ll work on my wife!!”  Scott, UT

"The kid behind the counter at Guitar Center asked if I ever tried Pure Blues and I said no. When I finished restringing my tele, WOW!!!!! These strings were AMAZING! I never thought I’d be blown away by a set of strings, but these were quite simply, perfect!"  Todd, RI
