Randy Jackson Signature Dean Markleys, also expensive, or

DR Mellow Yellow Coated strings, not gold, but the colour is almost the same.

I think they discontinued the Maxima Golds. I tried to get some, but juststrings.com just sold out.

Yeah, the alchemy strings seem to be the closest.

Might be better to get them off the 'Bay, since JustStrings.com's ones are incredibly pricey.
