## Description

DR Strings Red s Electric Medium

Review: I was working on a project guitar with a Zodiac theme and needed something to kick it up a notch and these worked perfectly. They’re a great value, hold tuning extremely well, produce great bends, and are nice and bright without being tinny. They look great, sound amazing and they really tied my little project together quite well. Don’t listen to the folks who say colored strings don’t sound good, they don’t know what they’re talking about. I bought a few extra sets just in case I need them in the future. Highly recommend!
Review: They are cool strings, but I think will use them in future for stage performances.after moderate use the red coating will fade
