"...these strings and I would of gave it 5 star but the small e string coating is coming off where I strum but is still holding up everywhere else..." Read more

    Bought as a gift. Daughter loved how bright they are and easy to use. Sound great
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2014
    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.

    Love these! They came highly recommended by some musician friends, and I can see why! The only thing I found annoying was that the strings colored in RYBOGV order instead of the standard ROYGBV.

    Other than that, solid, beautiful strings

    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.

    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
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022
    For regular strings I wouldn’t get these, simply because the coating on them kind of makes them sound dull and their color will wear off on the smaller strings with regular use. However, I would say they are an absolute necessity for playing Rocksmith, especially for beginners. I’m an intermediate player and it saves so much time and frustration when learning new riffs and chords based on what’s displayed in the game. And honestly, if the color is chipping on the strings it’s probably about time to replace them anyway (colors on mine last about 4 months, playing every few days or so). I tend to be guilty of not changing my strings as often as I should.

    Ces cordes DR String MCE-10 sont juste parfaites ! Non seulement elles offrent une excellente qualité sonore, mais les couleurs sont aussi super cool et ajoutent vraiment du style à ma guitare. Elles tiennent bien l'accord et sont agréables à jouer, avec une bonne durabilité. Le rendu visuel est aussi impressionnant en live ou sur scène. Si vous voulez quelque chose d’unique pour votre guitare, foncez, c'est un achat que je ne regrette absolument pas !

    Reviewed in India on March 10, 2018
    Probably the worst strings that i have ever tried.
    -The so called Neon doesn't glow.
    - Horrible tone
    - The neon material peels off on day one with just 30 to 40 minutes of playing
    - 2 days of playing and the paint peels off completely.
