Hey guys, I went to a store the other day and saw an ESP LTD strung with neon green guitar strings- whats the deal with these?- has anyone had any experience with them & what besides the colour are different about them compared to the usual?

this is just my personal opinion but i find these to look better on a bass for some strange reason... it doesnt look that well on a guitar but i have thought of getting these to try them out

Tried them. Those strings give you red hot growling bass tone.

I had the orange ones on my guitar. My guitar has flames so it looked just incredibly awesome. After a little while the orange started to wear off on the high E, B, G strings. They do last longer than regular strings though and give out a great tone.
You asked what's different about them......well nothing. They play like regular strings. You don't notice the coating and like I said they give off great tone. If it wasn't from the price I would always have them on.

Hope that helps!

They wouldn't be for me unless I had a Glow-In-The-Dark guitar,anyway the lightest gauge they have is 9-42 and I only use 8-38.It might be alright for someone who had one of the rare Lightshow Rickenbackers from the 60s,they can still be had for around $12,000-$14,000.

Gimmickry. They would have flourished during the bullshit buttrock80s era though I feel.

Hey Ceallach...we all get it, you don't like em, give it a rest! There is enough negativity on the forum as it is.

I wouldn't use them either, not my cup of tea, but they are making them, selling them, so someone is buying.

I'm just bored and trolling. If you like em, more power to you. No hate.
