DR Strings HI-DEF NEON™ - MULTI-COLOUR Coloured Electric Guitar Strings: Medium 10-46

Product Information

Claimed to be among the strongest electric guitar strings ever made, D’Addario’s technology offers a high-carbon steel core to resist breakage and refined frequency response to enhance presence and crunch. Whilst, comparatively speaking they’re still relatively new in the string world, their popularity is ever growing as the advancements in technology develops. With that in mind, we’d confidently say that they’re certainly here to stay for the foreseeable future. We speak to plenty of guitar players every day and you may or may not be surprised that there're players out there that can tarnish a standard set of strings in a matter of minutes due to sweat and acidic perspiration from their hands. Whilst coated strings are great for these players, their extended life certainly appeals to many other musicians too. Making playing easy is all about how the strings feel. Now, 'ease' of playing often comes down to the gauge of string - something which is entirely subjective - but we want to make sure that the strings feel smooth, and are without imperfections. If the strings are coated, we don't necessarily want to feel the coating - but if we can see and feel the result of the anti-corrosion technology? That's ideal. Speaking of corrosion, we'll test to see how long it takes for the strings to go dull, too. Fender is an incredible company that has been around for over 70 years, and it has given us amazing guitars like the Stratocaster, and Telecaster among others. But Fender is not just a guitar company they also produce high-quality guitar strings.

Now, the Balanced Tension XL set manages to retain the classic sound of a D'Addario string while offering players a different feel - something we absolutely love.They boast mathematically equalized resistance for a similar feel from string to string.Most of the time these ball ends are the same color as the rest of the string, silver or copper, depending on the type of strings you’re using, but some brands produce strings with colored ball ends.

When testing electric guitar strings, we want every set to meet a certain set of criteria before we recommend them to you. They need to be up to the task, first of all, they need to make playing easy, and they need to make your guitar sound good.There is a good reason for Ernie Ball's Slinky series of electric guitar strings' ubiquitous presence in gig bags and cases worldwide. Firstly, they sound great. The purpose of colored or multicolored strings, where each string is coated with one or different colors is to basically make your strings look cool. There are a few brands that do this and the most well-known company is the DR with their DR Neon Multi-Color strings. Being environmentally conscious is another reason some companies use colored ends. Some string brands put each string in an envelope that is labeled with the string it contains so you can know which one is which. Like many shepherds in that area at that time, the D’Addario family made strings for various musical instruments primarily from sheep and hog intestines.
