got to love these strings

Comments about DR Strings Black Beauties Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:

I am not much of an acoustic player and the reason for that has been because I never liked playing it much. The finger squeak is too much to deal with, even using my old std Finger Ease spray. I liked these coated stings @11-50 so much on my electrics I decided to put them on my acoustic and keep the same guage to avoid the discomfort.I also play both electric and my acoustic tuned down a full step. The coating serves to make the strings last a very long time. I have played one of my strats perhaps 8 times w no real visable loss in the coating, my other strat after 3 times has some loss on the 1st string pick area. Granted I am not brutal in attacking the strings like a Townshend would be. I play heavy fusion and I see where Vai is now recommending and using coated strings. I just dig the black, if I am going to use coated strings why not use something really cool against the color scheme of my guitars? The coating is sonically invisable and there is much less fret wear, less squeak and drag on both the acoustic and electric. I tend to stay w a particular string for a long time after setting my guitars up with them. I plan to use the DR Black Beauties for some time. I do not know if it's because I play a full step down but mine last a very long time and the tones are consistantly there after multiple plays. I use a high $ pedal board and a half stack so these puppies wail as good or better than anything else.

Good black string!!

Comments about DR Strings Black Beauties Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:

Wanted to try some black strings on my Martin D-15 (all mahogany). Strings looked very cool and performed well.....coating comes off pretty quickly around the soundhole (pretty much expected) and eventually wears off on your favorite fingering frets. They hold up pretty well, though.....all in all they were good - but I've returned to my Maritn SP's. No bling but I love the sound. If you want some black-coated strings, give these a try!
