DR Strings HI-DEF NEON Electric Guitar Strings (NYE-9)

I bought these for my black Randy Rhodes signature series Flying V. I initially figured they would make great novelty strings for a decent price. Once they finally arrived i put them on and WOW! These are great sounding. Something about the coating or the way they are wound just makes an amazing sound! I had Super Slinks on prior to these strings and it was just time to replace them.The strings look and feel a but rough at first and they look like the coating would rub off on your fingers. But i have spent the entire week shredding the heck out of some music and there is no wear or rubbing off in any way. I purchased the yellow and the orange and alternated them every other string and it creates an amazing visual effect when playing. One person commented that it looks like my strings are on fire.. I take that as a compliment to my playing but I'm sure most of the credit goes to the strings lol. I will gladly buy these again when the time comes and recommend them to all my friends. You really have to try them to see how amazing they truly are!

As both a bassist and guitarist, I like to try new strings every now and then. I bought a set of DR Neon Bass Strings for one of my Fender Precisions and was just blown away. They looked great and sounded great, too. So, I thought I'd try the DR Neon Guitar Strings, especially after reading the reviews here. I don't know if DR had a bad production day or what, but my experience was not even close to the other reviewers. I bought two sets of .009's, one yellow, one green, for a Les Paul Goldtop and a Les Paul that is Emerald Green. Just wanted to try something different than Ernie Ball Strings. Well, I'm here to say it again, "Balls Are Best". The coating was gone after one session in the studio and I really couldn't tell a difference, soundwise, between the DR Neons and Ernie Balls. Plus, they are way more expensive for one set of DR Neons than a set of Ernie Balls, Gibsons, Fenders, or any other number of strings. I've got to remember that more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. If you're just needing great sounding guitar strings, I'd stick with Ernie Ball, Fender, Gibson, or any of the rest of the many brands out there. Sorry, DR, but I won't be buying these again.

I bought this along with the Green strings for my Parker p-38 guitar. They sound alot better then the previous strings i was using, the tone is a little bit more solid and a little less twangy i feel. These will still be responsive if you are playing through a clean channel. Even in daylight these are pretty noticeable, but if you have a show as I did and you have the correct lighting, the strings will really pop out. This, like the green strings, look good under a Magenta light.It's nice having these, adds a little flair to your guitar.Recommended if you wanna try something that looks cool

The sound is awesome

They're fun, and yes, the wear and tear on the color is fast.

good product- great price

I get alot of oooohs! and aaaahhhs! They do look that good but let me advise the coating comes off rather quickly.

I have been using DR strings for years and,the new Neon series is just more coolness from DR. The coatings they use increase string life and are tone neutral plus I really like the way they look on my nuclear yellow Kramer Barretta.

Esteticamente ok, mas o som é bem estranho. Fica abafado e descasca rápido a cor da corda. Bom p fazer um showzinho e ficar diferentão no palco, ou pra quem faz live dar um efeitinho na câmera... Mas pra quem grava em studio ou quer um som limpo, melhor outro.

Vraiment déçu pas jouer avec plus 10 min et la cordes briser la petite .problème avec materiel ?jaimerai être remboursé ou autre paquets voir si sa fait même chose.merci

Sehen toll aus,spielen sich auch gut aber nach einer Woche blättert die schöne Farbe leider schon ab,schade.

These strings look and sound fantastic, and, so far have stayed in tune longer than strings I’ve used previously (and I don’t skimp on quality when it comes to guitar strings)Very Very impressed so far and will definitely recommend and use again on a regular basis

As the title suggests, these look good, but thats all they do, and at twice the price of any normal set of strings, they really are not worth it, tried a set on my Washburn N2 and a set on my Ibanez S420, i'll never buy these again, the sound is muted, less sustain than normal strings and the set on my Ibanez lasted all of 2 days before 2 of them broke, I replaced them with a set of Ernie Ball Cobalt, and the difference was noticeable straight away, cleaner crisper and clearer.
