You choose the colour of your guitar so why not the colour of your strings? When I saw that DR had released coated strings I knew I had to try. Peacock Blue would look great on my black guitar. Let's be honest, the look of your guitar is important to. When I presented my new strings the reaction was unanimous. Cooool. Where did you get them? How much were they? No one asked if they were any good.
Review
You can buy them at most guitar stores. I payed about 10 US. I bought the 10 13 17 26 36 46 Electric Peacock Blue. The packaging boasts Handmade coated strings. At first I loved them. Very smooth, no drag on your fingers and they looked cool. After a few days of solid playing, the coating starts to wear off and that is where I lost interest. As you play, it feels like little bits of grit or dirt and you can see the steel string where the coating wore off. They look cool, feel great at first, a bit pricey and the wear happens quite quickly.
If I was endorsed or had the money to change my strings every session or gig I may consider switching from my regular GHS Boomers Custom Lites. Till then, I'll look a little less cool.
