Personally I think they look way too 1980s and cheapen the look of the instrument they are on making them look like toys. Of course we're all entitled to our opinions.

Mine arrived and I slapped them on my Ferlembic. They seem to feel fine and play well unplugged. I'll get the opportunity to plug in tonight. They do look different! My wife would agree with Raymond (88persuader). She thinks they make my axe look like a toy. I'm still on the fence. Of course, at nearly three times the price of regular strings, they had better last a long time or this will certainly be a one shot deal for me.

Bill, tgo

...with a Blacklight !

Pictures will be taken when I get them on, but I've never uploaded pictures before so I'll probably need help, elwoodblue, I do have blacklight so there will definitely be pictures with it

I'll try and get some up in the next few days. Right now my camera and computer are not talking to each other. Unfortunately, my mom threw my blacklight away when I went off to college (along with my baseball cards and collection of Beatles 45s - what my mom threw away - hmmmm, sounds like the basis for a new thread! hehehehe)

Bill, tgo

I took the plunge and ordered some orange strings to go on my orange Gretsch G5120. M.F. has free shipping with no minimum price these days.

Well, didn't get them today(fingers crossed UPS will come a little later) pictured will certainly follow

Taylor just sent me a couple of pics of the strings on his bass for resizing. Here they are.

The first picture is with all the lights on in the room, the second is just the blacklight(no flash obviously). I really like the sound of these strings, they bring out a lot of the charecteristics of the tone, big lows, nice punchy midrange(got to have that punch!) and highs that aren't too extreme

thanks Dave!

I got my neon strings for my Gretsch and strung 'em up. They look good! No complaints about the sound, either. However, after one session of playing, only about 1-1/2 hours, the coating on the G string where I tend to strike it with the pick is already going away. I have a feeling that the coating will not last very long if a pick is used. I haven't noted any deterioration of the coating over the fingerboard yet.
