Last night I noticed a set of 10's DR Pure Blues in my guitar box.

The DR Pure Blues have a more smooth feel to them than other rounds, less squeak, more mellow with less high zing, more open tone, clearer tone, dig in harder and they growl like a mad tiger, sustain for months, flexible

The DR Pure Blues strings sound awesome and are easy to play

If you like the clarity of single coils but don't care for some of the twangy spank sometimes associated with them, the DR Pure Blues is a good option

But the DR Pure Blues will be my go-to string for my Strat and Tele.

The EB's lasted about 16 hours with near-new tone before I popped one, a fair enough life and typical for my less aggressive bluesier playing; metal will of course eat up any string, and pure nickels are kind of pointless for metal, as they lack the top end you need for harmonic divebombs and overbends.(I was interested to see the only player's name/quote DR used to promote these was Jeff Healey, a great rockin' blues player and a blind man with incredibly great ears

These babies are warm, play even and have a nice life span

not too stretchy, until you want them to be and have a great feel and life.

Round core makes it easier to

I regularly use round core pure nickel (Pyramid Classics) strings, so am aware of the need to pre-bend before cutting them to length.

The round core, Nickle wraps are absolutely amazing

Some of the best strings I have used

the best strings I have used on my strat thus far

I have used these for years, I like the way they sound, keep in tune and their long life if you keep them cleaned

I love pure nickel strings and the roundcore really makes them very flexible

The pure nickel wrap literally wore off/separated from several strings after 3-4 days of casual playing.

Because the are pure nickel the sound is AMAZING and is so clear

Still, one expects no bad sets at all from solid quality control

Awesome quality, the tone that they give is quite vintage and it doesn't change throughout lifetime of the strings

DR are good strings, but over time the quality has gotten inconsistent.

Gentle on the fingers and present a wonderful sound quality.

I like that all three brands are made here in the USA.I think all of them are a decent deal at under a buck a string, especially if you play all tubes and are looking for that vintage chime that the best old blues and classic rock players used to get

Then within an hour the D broke in the same place

The sound is OK and in line with what you'd expect from "popular" brands

I've played with steel strings for years and found DRs to be among my favorite brands

After someone recommended DR strings to me at a store, I have not bought a different brand

Tried different brands and my guitar sounded not good

For that original, 60's/70's sound of slinky, thin, unwound G, warm rock tone, you want these.

What I have learned since I first wrote this review is that my son is an excellent guitarist and can make any guitar sound good

all of us in the band was blown away by the difference in the sound this guitar can now produce; easily my favorite guitar now

its the brand that makes my guitar sound the best... as a blues player these strings will always bring out the best tone possible

This seller is great, fast delivery, great price, can't beat it!

they have a very good blues sound,unfortunately they have not long live,the price is cheap so replace them more frequently.

They seem fairly long lasting, have a decent tone and are well priced

Can't say enough good things about them.

I cannot say enough good things about DR strings

The thing that really bugs me about these is the smell

But the DR Pure Blues will be my go-to string for my Strat and Tele.

As for tone, the DR's are a little brighter than the Fenders, but not quite as shimmering with harmonics as the Ernie Ball pure nickels I tried while waiting for the other set of these

I've previously put on Ernie Ball Super Slinkies and Fender Super Bullets and have never had a string break like that

As if to emphasize that, the DR set's A string broke at the saddle within two hours of me putting them on

I have never broken a
