DR Strings HI-DEF NEON - Multi-Color Silver Plated/Nickel Plated Electric Guitar Strings, 10-46 (NMCE-10)

I got these because I just bought my first guitar and a copy of Rocksmith to try and teach myself how to play. PROS: Better quality than pretty much any 'stock' strings a guitar may come with. Coated wound strings are easier on new fingers until callus builds up. Color coding makes it MUCH easier to find strings until muscle memory develops. I have been playing the game with these for a week now, and I honestly can't imagine being as far along as I am with plain strings. When you first start in the game you are trying to learn moving your hands up and down the neck, fingering different frets, and picking different strings all at the same time, while looking at the TV. This speeds up how fast your eyes can pick out a particular string with just a first glance. Have insisted both of my friends who just got Rocksmith to get these also.

Great look and sound

I mostly play bass and when I started trying to learn guitar with Rocksmith, I found that I was having trouble getting the colors of the first three strings (G, B, and e) down pat in my mind. I would always go for the wrong string when they came up on the chart. I bought these in the hopes that they would help me get the colors down. I was surprised by how good the quality of these strings was. I expected cheap, flimsy strings, since the main draw here is the colors, but these strings sound and play great and are very durable. The color also lasted much longer than I expected; after playing every day for a month, it had barely faded at all. Also, have no fear about the color rubbing off onto your fretboard or picks, it doesn't. I have two main problems with the strings, though. The first is that they don't visually "pop" as much as I thought they would. I put them on my white Les Paul, thinking that the colored strings would really stand out and give the guitar a cool look, but that wasn't the case. The only string that really pops is the yellow A string, the rest look a bit muted. This isn't a huge deal if you're using them primarily for learning, but if you're looking to give your a guitar a unique look, you should look elsewhere. The biggest problem in my opinion is that the colors of the first two strings, B and e, are very hard to see, even close up. I understand that this is probably because of the thinness of those strings, but it was disappointing to me since these were the strings that gave me problems. Sure, you can kind of see the green on the B string in good lighting, but the e string doesn't even look like it has a color. If you're looking to just have a visual reference for all of the strings, this should work. The rest of the colors are nice and clear, if a bit dull. The strings themselves are nice too. I just wish they put more work into making the thinner strings more readable.

Great I have no complaints

I bought this set of strings to use while playing Rocksmith(+) and I really like them. This set is actually helping me learn the strings. That they match up perfectly with Rocksmiths used colors is really nice. No problems yet and I've had them for a couple months now. Definitely recommend! 5/5

Bright color, like bootsy Collins!

Great strings! I saw several complaints about the flaking off, and I can attest that they do flake off fairly easily. I've not noticed it on the frets, but where you pick/strum they're definitely flaking off. I picked these up as others have reported that they match up perfectly with Rocksmith, which they do - and it's how I'm learning. It's definitely helped me identify which string is where. In regards to the flaking, I don't mind since it's just where I pick - the helpfulness of these with Rocksmith can't be under stated. Highly recommend to anyone learning to play via Rocksmith. I have the Rocksmith Epiphone Les Paul.

The strings look amazing when you first get them on and the react to black lights has a nice glow. Also I think it's the game Rock Smith they want you to have these strings for the guitar game. The coating does start to flake away after use and it's becomes noticeable after awhile.

Ces cordes apportent une touche colorée à ma guitare et me permettent de progresser sur Rocksmith. Les couleurs, bien que moins vives que sur les photos, restent visibles et ajoutent un côté fun à l'apprentissage et à la guitare.

EINFACH NICE, guter weicher klang der Saiten. Denke von verstärker zu versärker oder Gitarre zu Gitarre kann sich das Ergebniss abweichen. Grundsätzlich sind diese Saiten einfach krass nice, sie leuchten bei Schwarzlicht und spielen tuen sie sich erstaunlicher Weise sogar besser als normale Saiten ohne bunte Farben.

Me encantaron las cuerdas, al principio tenía mis dudas pero suenan muy bien y el color es brillante en luz negra... Después de un rato va perdiendose el neón con el sudor y rasgueo, pero es obvio por desgaste

Best idea I've ever seen!! Love the strings, and the colours are great!. I put these on my acoustic (Yes I use electric strings on an acoustic) and they still have a good sound after about 6 months of use (I don't use my acoustic too much so don't change strings regularly). Only bad thing I can say, is that the high E string is almost impossible to see on a rosewood or ebony fretboard, as its a deep purple colour and so thin, should be alright on a maple board though

Belle e divertenti... io le uso esclusivamente per studio/gioco con Rocksmith. Si usurano ovviamente dove batte il plettro ma non saltano. Ottime per propedeutica .
