The Best
Weather you're a professional looking for better feeling and toneful stings that hold tune, or a beginner that doesn't know where to start, THIS IS IT! The good news is that when it comes to gear, so many things are incredibly subjective and different, well these aren't. These are the best!
I use these strings on all of my guitars, and have now for 6 years. They have incredible stability, tone, and playability. All of my guitars are equipped with Original Floyd Rose tremolos. I am not lying when I say that I can NOT remember the last time I broke a string, or if I even have broke a string since using Dean Markleys. I do remember breaking strings all the time with D'Adarrio strings, and having tuning problems with Ernie Balls, even though I am throughly trained and experienced with setting up and maintaining a Floyd Rose. It's just a simple fact that that these Dean Markley Signature Series, although surprisingly cheaper in cost than most, win in EVERY category when compared to any other string from any other string manufacturer in my experience.
I play everything from David Gilmour and Alex Lifeson, to Trey Azagthoth styles on the guitar, and can NOT remember a string breaking once since switching to Dean Markley Signature Series strings. Bending all day long, tapping, digging into full on chords, and bottoming out the Floyd Rose does not effect the tuning or tone of these strings. I give them a little wipe before and after playing, and they're like new. I change my strings one a month and play in a performing band that does 3 hour sets. Now given that I do use different guitars, one month is a long time for a string to keep tune, feel, tone. These Dean Markleys do every time.
For the price that Musicians Friend offers, c'mon! If I had the money to, I'd buy a boat load of these and throw them in the freezer. Instead, I just buy 10 at a time!

Surprisingly good
I’m a loyal for Ernie's on my main guitar. Dd-named brand is second choice because of availability on every corner. Mostly for reserve guitar.
Long story short: somehow I’ve got Dean Markley string set. Packed by 3 in one bag. Balls not so foolproof color encoded, just a little simplified separation by thickness. Not a problem when you familiar with string gauges.
Soundwise these strings are nice and positively surprised me on The Gibson LesPaul Tribute. Nice unplugged sound, totally sufficient when plugged. Fits right between Ernie's Balls and we-need-more-D brand.
Still didn’t get a long term experience. Therefore quality rated by installation in advance.

Great Value Strings
Every guitar that comes into Whitstable Guitars is restrung & set up before going on sale. I have found these strings to be extremely well priced & not prone to breakages. I also regularly gig with my band and play both acoustic & electric. Once again, these strings work well & last and at less than £3 a set, they are fantastic value.
Dean Markley strings are also made in the USA
Many thanks Thomann for the excellent service you provide. My items always arrive quickly, are well packed & on the rare occasion there has been a problem, it?s been quickly resolved

Great strings
Great strings, sound great and last a good bit. was using them on my stratocaster while gigging heavily and lasted as long as the Ernie balls I regularly use. Great strings for all electric guitars.
