Aggressive sound for rhythmic playing!

Gauges: 12-16-25-32-42-54.

Dean Markley GoldPhos Alchemy strings use pre-tuned mandolin wire cores and Diamond Drawn outer wraps electroplated with the exclusive MC394K Bright-Coat compound, an aerospace-technology derived substance with oustanding tonal response and durability.

"The GoldPhos are beautiful-sounding, with a warm and evenly nice rounded tonal projection with a very full-on sound. These work particularly well in my studio settings, as there is not much EQ to add or take away due to the character-landscape type of sound that they offer. They have a very balanced and even feel about them. Again - with total voicing separation, and their quality of sound is total Inspiration..!!" - Amrit Sond, U.K.

b twin these and the elixir i pick this, because they have a better tone, tuning, least longer, and the best part, they don't brake..

if you clean them with "the string cleaner" before and after you use the guitar they will last you a very long time, i mean least time i changed string was way over a month ago, and the sound like new..

definitely the best for studio..great tone..

These strings are the s**t! I have used the Markley Blue Steel strings before and liked them a lot...but these even blew them away. I noticed much more higher end AND lower end...it really brought out the sound on my Martin D-15....and the coloring on the coating even makes them look cool too! IMHO they are worth the extra couple of bucks.

When I first strung them on my guitar, they were the best sounding strings I have ever used. They had a bright and clean tone that was great for my style of music. It's too bad that the tone only lasted for 2 weeks.

I played the heck outta these bad boys and they were good to me till the end. Great sound: bright and full. They last forever and are easy on the wallet! Stay in tune well too.

I put them on a Rainsong AWS-1000. I'm in search of the perfect string for this fairly new guitar, so...I'm really picky. They look great but I have some reservations in that they seem overly bright and I get a lot of string squeak.
