"Tom gave me a set in 1994 and I ended my Dean Markley involvement the next day. We worked together on the Pure Blues strings and the Dragon Skin strings. Every guitar I have has DRs...and thats a lotta guitars! I had a shop called BCR Music and Sound in Lemoyne Pa from 1994 to 2021. While doing all the repairs there, I put DRs on the majority of repairs and sold cartons of them constantly. I got several of my high profile customers to use DRs. DR Pure Blues strings are like the vintage Gibson Sonomatic strings, a pure nickel wrap on a plain core. 100% wrap to core contact. They stretch right to pitch and STAY THERE. The Pure Blues strings are so loud, I have used them on acoustic guitars. My sweat is quite corrosive, and running around on stage leads to lots of sweating. DR strings do not give up like traditional nickel plated hex core strings. They last, they feel great and they are slimming. PROVE ME WRONG!"
