DR Strings have been my go to strings for years now. I like the 9 gauge over the 10's for what I play. They last a long time and have them on all of my guitars

I'm new to guitar, so I got these on the recommendation of a relative who plays. I'm not experienced to grasp the subtleties between brands, but this set of 9s was significantly easier to play than the 10s that were on my new-to-me used guitar. They sound great and seem to be a good choice for a beginner.

Only "nit" is I wish a 9.5-44 version was available. (I favor a 9.5 high E string for bending) I use these on a dual P90 pickup guitar and these Blues provide a good tonal quality. They don't last as long as steel core Tite Fit version, (stretch from my blues bending play) but worth it for their great tonal quality.

I started using DR Pure Blues Strings about 24 years ago and have not looked back. They last longer than anything else I have tried. My finger oil is not terribly acidic. I have them on just about all of my guitars, the only ones that do not have them are those that still have their factory strings (new instruments) but they will have DRs too. I cannot say enough good about them. They had them for a pretty good price on Amazon.

There are several reasons I gravitate toward these strings, even though they may be cost a little more. It’s usually only a dollar or so, but I get much better performance out of them.One of the advantages you don’t have to stretch them for two or three days. Another good feature is, they tend to soften a bright instrument like a Stratocaster and take away some of the brightness without reducingFidelity.And the biggest reason is because they last 2 to 3 times longer depending on your environment, and if you wipe them off on occasion.Derek trucks endorses these strings.How could they not be good?

I only use DR strings on my acoustic and electric guitars. They are made here in New Jersey and the quality is off the chart.

Put these on my Strat. Not bad. I have DR strings on my Les Paul too. I use Ernie Ball on most of my guitars but these are equally good to me. Anyone who plays has their own opinion on the brands.

Great strings. I try not to get anything rlse

From the moment I put these strings on they felt amazing and that was before I stretched them in. The tone is fantastic and string bending is spot on. These will be my go to set from now on. I have a tele style guitar from gear4music which plays as good as an expensive one. If you love your blues buy these, you'll not be disappointed.

They are comparable to the NYXL strings, I really can’t hear or feel anything exceptional but they’re good for the cost. I use them on a Godin LGXT SA.

Atleast these are not rusting like my d'darios and Ernie ball strings which is more than enough for me.❤️

Excelente producto cuerdas DR hechas a mano, muy recomendable para guitarristas exigentes.

What can I say that has not been said about the other DRs that I have used. They rock, roll, andbend with the greatest of ease; once broken in, of course. If you want a mellower, bluesier stringwith decent sustain try DR Pure Blues.I decided to use 9's on my Fender Tele hollow-body because the company puts 9s on their guitars.I didn't want to worry about the nut being the wrong size and causing untold noises so I stuckwith the 9s. Hey, the Rev uses 7's; size does not matter when it comes to strings and tone.The other reason for the Pure Nickels was to tone down the ice pickiness one can get from P-90pick ups. Pure Nickels seem to mellow that out for me a bit. One more reason is that nickel iseasier on your frets; which is a good thing. Steel will wear down your frets a lot faster.I will say that my very first set of DR Pure Blues went bad after a few weeks. The windings brokeon the D-string at two places where the string fretted. The reason I kept going back to DR Bluesis that I have not had one problem on any of my electric guitars (4 solid bodies & another hollow-body) since then. Giving DR a second chance convinced me they will last and that my very firstuse in 2010 was a fluke.If you want strings that are an easier bend than steel or steel core nickels go with DR Pure Blues.Allegedly they are supposed to help give you vintage tone. This is because prior to the mid-40'smost strings were made of nickel. During WWII nickel was in short supply and so steel was used tomake the strings. Or so the historical theory goes.Gradually nickel wrapped steel strings and then pure nickel strings came back into vogue as playersbegan searching for the old vintage sound. To achieve the "vintage" tone I am sure you would alsoneed the right amp AND the right touch to get to that point. I am not necessarily looking for a"vintage" tone but love how easily these strings bend and how long they last. Your exact mileagemay differ.I have also never had anything rub off of the strings onto my fingers. The only time I get my fingersdirty is after oiling the fret board. There is usually is some residual oil left no matter how much I wipethe fret board. Definitely not the strings though. I have also never heard any string-squeak from thestrings that would give me pause either. Any string, even on acoustic, will squeak occasionally. Withan electric who knows if the pickups were set too high, or the nut is not cut right, or the wrong sizestring is used for the nut.Well there you go; what I have experienced with DR Pure Blues Nickel Wrap Round Core strings. I willalso say that on guitar forums that I frequent more people are giving DR kudos on their customerservice as well as their strings. So if you do get a bum string give them a holler. Now get out thereand play your heart out. Oh and how about working on that "vintage" tone while you are at it.Have fun.
