DR Strings Pure Blues Pure Nickel Wrap Round Core 11-50 Review

I've been using DR pure blues exclusively for 15 years or so.I use both the 12 and 11gauge set on various guitars.

I haven't tried the newer 'coated' long life strings so I don't know how they compare but I can say that these strings will sound good *much* longer than others such as ball, diadarrio etc..

The heavier gauge strings last longer than lighter gauges too as they don't stretch out as easily, so if you keep them clean by washing your hands before playing and then wiping them off afterwards or using fastfret or some other string cleaner, these will last a long time.I only change strings 2-3 times per year compared with my friends who play lighter gauge strings that change every few weeks.

Also the tone you get out of these is so thick and nice that even a worn out set sounds better than 'slinky' strings when they are brand new, in my opinion

The caveats of course are that it takes your fingers a while to get used to playing heavy gauge strings, and as the other reviewer complained about you can have intonation problems if your guitar is not set up correctly.You may need to adjust the truss rod and intonation, especially if you have a trem bridge like on a strat.. on a fixed bridge like most gibson guitars it may not be necessary.Make sure that you 'break them in' by stretching them somewhat when you first put them on..
