DR NEONs are super bright color coated strings that sound clear, bright and musical. Players love the bright NEON colors and their remarkable sound. Super bright in daylight and under stage lighting, DR NEON is 100% black light reactive and glow strongly under UV lighting. NEONs are the first coated string to make no apologies. While Neons last as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better, than uncoated strings.
From the Manufacturer

Well, they do match my guitar! But more importantly these coated strings are quality performers. I would recommend trying them.

Protège un peu plus longtemps mais rend le son moins vibrant, le revêtement part de manière aléatoire et le côté esthétique est vite du passé

La glisse de ces cordes DR Strings est toujours aussi impressionnante. Attention toutefois, elle ne convient pas à tous le monde. Certains préfèreront des cordes avec un touché plus "pur", sur celles-ci le revêtement (coating) se fait vraiment sentir. C'est une sensation différente des cordes uncoated mais la glisse en est vraiment facilité, notamment sur les graves à fort tirant.Je trouve le son excellent personnellement, surtout sur des tonalités métal avec une forte distorsion. La réponse est bonne, la note bien définie et elle tient très bien.Le look est là aussi, c'est l'avantage n°1 de cette gamme, soyons honnêtes. Que ce soit la déclinaison rose ou la verte, celles-ci ressortent déjà fort à la lumière naturelle mais brillent carrément sous la lumière bleue, le terme "Neon" n'est pas abusif, les cordent paraissent rétro-éclairée lorsqu'elles sont exposées à la lumière UV.En revanche, je suis assez déçu par la longévité du coating. Celui-ci est à chaque fois arrivé un peu effrité par endroit, ça a un impact sur l'aspect visuel mais surtout sur la glisse, notamment sur les cordes les plus larges. Pour des cordes à ce prix, je ne trouve pas ça normal. Pour cette raison-là j'enlève quand même 2 étoiles car le problème est récurrent.

Love the neons. I’ve used DR’s coated strings on numerous occasions, and I like their warm sound, cool look and fun playability. If you’re looking for versatility, look elsewhere. You can’t play slide on these, and I don’t recommend them for blues. But, for warm rock, country and jazz, they just might be ideal. I popped the E while stretching, but DR sent me two replacements for free.

They sound and feel pretty ok. The color is definitely a weak point for me. The A String is not very Brite and high E is flaking off in spots after about 10 minutes of jamming. I won't be purchasing these colored strings in the future. The good part is that they are DR strings which I tend to favor. But these are not the best.

The strings are great. Nice smooth coated finish and they match the color to my wild experimental strat. Good tone, holds tuning well and the green look really pops. The high e string is already losing lots of color, but I already knew that was going to happen as I play. It’s inevitable with color coated strings, especially bright tones like these.

They're not novelty strings, they're handmade and sound as good as any regular steel strings, but look cooler (depending on your taste).

Our daughter participated in her first ever Girls Rock! camp week. She learned to play guitar, joined a band, wrote a song and played a show all in one week. Somewhere in the middle of the week she asked for these strings. Easy decision to get these to support her budding musical career. Great strings, too! I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and these are decent quality. The bright color is a fun extra which doesn't detract from the strings playability.

They look cool, and sound cool. I actually bought them thinking they glow in the dark. That was a silly thought, but even without that, the strings are a vibrant Green, even in daytime. They look really cool under a black light, and if you're doing a show, ask the light tech guy(politely) to shine some magenta on you. It'll really stick out.As far as playability goes:they work. Nothing sounds better then putting on new strings, but these have worked quite fine for my purposes, should work well for almost any style.If you play alot,especially plectrum, you'll notice it will start to wear off. Personally i think it's kinda cool.It may be a little less traditional then that plain steel you're often used to, but its a nice deviation.get it! i also got the yellow ones for my Les Paul
