Dean Markley 2508 Signature Series

I love this custom gauge.

The sound is great and since I don't sweat much they last quiet long.

More expensive Strings will last a bit longer but this ones are the best value for the money.

Clear sound, a very good sustain, very playable for blues and sliding solo.

Perfect strings for my need. If you sweat much you'll need to clean them more often but that's a small price to pay for the sound they provide. Budget friendly and quality strings.

These sound great, last a reasonable amount of time and stay in tune. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and come at a great price. The 46 low E gives a nice beefy crunch or a nice chunky low end to the more blues type stuff, depending on what your into (I have these strings on an Ibanez xyphos and a standard Strat). The heavy E also holds onto its overall tone a lot longer when drop tuning.
Simple and straightforward, does what it says on the tin.
Highly recommended.

Excellent price. I've bought Dean Markley strings for the last twenty years and they seem to compare well with other strings out there. Buy in bulk to save even more.

These are among my favourites, last OK in sound and I do break strings if not replaced often, these stay intact a little longer than most.

Dean Markley has been my choice set of strings since the late 70s.
They have a clear, stable sound that just works.
