    Fake DR Strings on Amazon ?

    I had a similar experience with a set of (new) DR Hi-Beams from Amazon. Steel looked a little darker & they seem 'deader' than any I've played in 25 yrs. Mine were sold through 'the Guitar Man Store.'

    DR Hi Beams - Quality Different?

    I'm actually wondering if Amazon repackaged old strings as new and sent out that way-

    DR Hi Beams - Quality Different?

    They replaced and sent an E string for me, but I wasn't aware you could order direct from factory- would you have link?

    DR Hi Beams - Quality Different?

    I've been a DR Hi-Beam user for 25+ years and always liked their sound & feel. I just got a new set of 45-100 gauge & something seems 'different.' Less zing - less something. I had the 'E' string replaced because it seemed like a 105 but the feel still off. Anybody else notice a change?

    Tell me about something great you did this year.

    Developed a 'lockdown' project w/few friends into this full-length album & hoping to gig in 2023! Caution: Includes saxophones & copious envelope filter pedal- Think P-Funk/Zappa/Steely Dan + John Carpenter, Star Trek & tacos. Murder Hornetz

    Observations on playing with a pick

    Wish I could be Carol Kaye or Dee Dee but mainly a middle-finger guy.

    Very nice - hadn't heard of T-45 - been a T-20 man since '86.

    DR High Beams - Gauge Frustration

    My issue is I don't need a fatter E string than 100 - I like the Roto 40 -95 gauge but I'm more of a DR guy- just wish they followed suit

    DR High Beams - Gauge Frustration

    Any other regular DR High Beam users frustrated that they don't offer a set with a 100 gauge E and an 85 A? I like the feel on the Med. Lite set but A is always a little thin. Maybe just me-
