Rated 4 out of 5

Blue Steel >:] !!

A bit more twangy and bendy than what I was expecting, but overall pretty playable strings that probably would work best with a Strat type. The color coding system was - interesting, as only black and blue were used, so at times had to scrutinize to tell the difference. In general however they seem to be good strings, would recommend, esp. for the price.
