Feature:
The black strings were awsome it was a great idea and I support it.

Quality:
The black has never flaked off since I've used them and I like them.

Value:
Yes, these strings last a long time and don't wear off.

Desirability:
It is very cool looking and I liked it.

Sound:
These strings were awsome with the style of music I play and the sound quality was awsome.

Ease of Use:
I could get the sound I wanted easily and the sound was not muffled.

Support:
I have always used DR strings and the people at DR told me about them and I was psyched.

Overall:
I don't think I will ever replace it and it looks really cool on my white guitar.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
The coating makes them hold up really well. And their DR, so you know their great.

Quality:
They will last, over 3x as long as earnie balls or anything like that. Hold up extremely well.

Value:
If they last that long, then yeah, their worth it.

Desirability:
I bought all the sets the store had. They only had two, but still, I absolutly had to have them.

Sound:
Great sound, the tone is not changed at all despite the coating.

Ease of Use:
Strings, uh, what else needs to be said?

Support:
Never dealt with them

Overall:
I love them. I LOVE THEM! Black strings on a black guitar, it looks damn great! Sound is wonderful, durable as hell. And will hold up for a long time. A REAL long time.
