Same here. I gave it a while but never heard anything so got my money back.
They do look great! I can't get past the slightly sticky feel of coated strings.The red strings do stand out, especially against dark colors.
I was telling Jeff that yours there is the first time I saw the red logo and I love it.The red strings do stand out, especially against dark colors.
I stopped buying the DR coated strings. It does seem a bit sticky at times. I've tried the Black Beauties, Peacock Blue, and Red Devils and all had the same feel. Sound good for a while tho.
I think the Sixx Mach II was the first time I saw a red TRC and knew I had to have one for the 2001.
You also have a red Thunderbird logo on the pickguard, right?
$5.31 isn’t much in the grand scheme of things but I just bought 10 switchcraft for $25.60 shipped. 6 pure tone would have been $5.31 each.
Overkill is nice on a wear item. I’ll splurge and buy a few next time. I have 3 in various instruments but I’m not sure which ones and if I still have sed instruments.

Yes, that's great stuff. Sorry, I should have mentioned I use that, but generally on frets. When I do use it on the fretboard I avoid hitting the frets. I know you can, but the thought of wiping all that black junk from the frets makes my head hurt.
GHS does or used to make a similar product, but I've not used it.
He's still around. At least the website is.
The date on the website is 2017. I placed another order and will see if anything comes up. GHS is using the same name but I get a 404 error when I click their link. We'll see.
It's a "Lubricant and laxative," and good for fretboards. Talk about versatility. I may give that a try. I really like the idea. Would work on the dining room table as well. Not the "Lubricant and laxative" part.

I have the pink DR’s on Florida, they are on there purely for looks. I think they are something like 105-45/50 and I usually used 95-40 roundworms.
it is better to look good than to feel good.

^This is the correct answer.
not currently, half assed looking for peeples I can tolerate
Please post if you get your order. What was shipping? I know we're in different locations, but there was nothing on the site other than he uses 1st Class mail.
