Just what I need

I love this custom gauge.

The sound is great and since I don't sweat much they last quiet long.

More expensive Strings will last a bit longer but this ones are the best value for the money.

good strings

I wanted to try some new strings - and have used Dean Markley in the past but switched to ernie ball. These are good - resonant and clear sounding. Seems to last well gigging with no drop in quality

Clear sound, a very good sustain, very playable for blues and sliding solo.

Perfect strings for my need. If you sweat much you'll need to clean them more often but that's a small price to pay for the sound they provide. Budget friendly and quality strings.

Great strings, great price
Anonymous 25.02.2017
These sound great, last a reasonable amount of time and stay in tune. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and come at a great price. The 46 low E gives a nice beefy crunch or a nice chunky low end to the more blues type stuff, depending on what your into (I have these strings on an Ibanez xyphos and a standard Strat). The heavy E also holds onto its overall tone a lot longer when drop tuning.
Simple and straightforward, does what it says on the tin.
Highly recommended.

OK but don't last particularly long
Anonymous 02.03.2015
I used to use Dean Markley strings religiously, but over time found that they didn't really last that long before corroding and becoming useless.

I suppose this is reflected in the price - they are quite cheap. I have since switched to Elixir strings as although almost 5 times the price I found they outlast the Dean Markley strings by about 10 times.

Just ok

Reasonably inexpensive and they serve a purpose as strings, but not the best strings I've used.
I purchased these and a set of D'Addario EXL125 at the same time, popped each set on the same type of guitar at the same time, played each of the guitars approximately as much as the other and the D'Addarios out performed these - the Dean Markley strings didn't feel as fresh out of the pack, dulled in their sound in no time at all and the B string went bye-bye mid bend after just a few hours of playing.
Fair enough, not a controlled experiment. However, coupled with my past experiences of D'Addario and Dean Markley strings and the relatively small price difference, it was enough for me to stick to using the former and ditch the latter.

Excellent price. I've bought Dean Markley strings for the last twenty years and they seem to compare well with other strings out there. Buy in bulk to save even more.

Favourites.

These are among my favourites, last OK in sound and I do break strings if not replaced often, these stay intact a little longer than most.
