Dean Markley 1972 Vintage Reissue light electric guitar strings are made to the same exacting specs as the original Vintage Electric strings that won the hearts of guitarists around the world. The combination of outer wrap alloy, special round cores, and core-to-wrap ratios make these strings sing with power and punch. Long life is just a bonus.

Dean Markley Vintage Electric Reissue guitar strings are nickel-plated steel hand-wound slowly over a round core, affording the outer string wrap 100% contact with the core wire. Your strings vibrate completely for maximum sustain, creating a warm, full sound distinctive of classic rock and roll.

I am long time user of Markley strings...they never fail to do the job. I use these (.11 1st) on my Strat as well as on on an acoustic electric that I tend to play pretty agressively...more like an electric than an acoustic. Either way/instrument, intonation is always spot on, even after after detunes, lots of bends and pulls, whammy dive bombing, etc. (I can be borderline abusive). My sound is never compromised and is lively and warm after many gigs.

I bought the 1972 12 pack because of the price. It was a great deal and I go through a lot of strings. I was very happy with the tone and the feel of these strings. I remembered the yellow stickers and was glad to see those still in the pack. I would definitely buy these again.

The worst strings ever. AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avoid these strings like the plague!! They are NOTHING at all like the classic "yellow label" Dean Markley. I used the original versions of these strings avidly in the 1970's and 1980's. Was most excited to learn they were "reissued" that I bought 12 sets. EVERY single high E has snapped at the ball end after only a few bends and the wound strings will not intonate. Showed them to a local luthier and he couldn't believe what garbage these are. Also wrote Dean Markley at their website and no reply. BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
