Dean Markley 2556 010 - .046 Blue Steel Electric Regular Guitar Strings

I've used quite a few different makes of guitar strings over the years but I have to say these are the best I ahave ever used so far! (Although I've not used this particular pack yet-I got them as I wanted some spares!) I play both rythm and lead guitar and these are ideal for that as they are good for both. I tend to do a lot of bends, slides and so on and these are ideal for that with them being lighter at the top end. I have had these on my customized superstrat for months and they have held up pretty well. I play for hours each day and they are still going strong! They are very good strings and I would recommend them!

Great sound

For a while now, i have been using cheapo strings. They were fine until i noticed the de-colouration of them, It was so bad that they started to look like acoustic guitar strings... really awful things. Then i saw these in an artical about jerry cantrell of alice in chains hehe... so i bought these, the price is fair.. I restrung my rampage with these and they are really good sounding feeling strings, will definitely be getting these again.. I recomend!!.

Nice strings holding out well with a clear and fresh tone.

For years I have used d'addario pro-steels and o thought I'd give these a try...wow! Glad I did! These are now my only go to brand. You can tell the are a smaller company than Ernie Ball or d'addario, as the packaging was basic and there was slight corrosion on the strings, but I just sanded them down before fitting and they were perfect. I play daily for about 1-2hours per day, alot of bending and heavy use and I still have the same set on my PRS and they are as clear as day 1 2 months later!Gary Moore used Dean markley, blue steels...should say it all!

When I started guitar 23 years ago my guitar teacher recommended these and I have never bought any other brands since except using the free packets they throw in when you buy a new axe from good guitar shops. I tolerate the other brand but once the DMs are on I really notice the superior quality. It is a shame that not many guitar shops stock them. it's usually the other well known brands. Glad to be able to buy them from the net now. Before, I was a sad J. R. Hartley type figure...

Before trying Blue Steels DT I've used to play on Ernie Ball Not Even Slinkys, which were very good but died fast after a week of hard playing everyday the sound was flat, devoided of life, it just wasn't the same. I tend to practice without amp sometimes, and love good sounding strings. Blue Steels gave me this crispy and very expressive sound, the sound that has soul. I love these strings.Update: Two weeks of playing speed and math metal every day for around 3 hours and they sound exactly like the day I put them on. They stay in tune for really long, I tended to tune guitar every day with EB, but with these it's once every few days.

I have tried most makes of strings over the years and now I have tried these they are my number one choice I have put them on all my guitars I didn't like the other ones in their range but these are brilliant would be better if where individually packed but apart from that no gripes recommend
