NEON is the second in DRs SuperStrings series. Super bright in day light, and with stage lighting. DRs NEON strings are so bright in appearance "they look like they are on fire." DRs NEON strings shine brightly under stage lights, and are 100% black light active so they glow strongly under UV lighting. And DRs NEON sound as good as they look. As Joey Clemment from Selena Gomez said, "Yeah they look great, but they sound incredible!" NEON is the first coated string to make NO apologies. While NEON lasts as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better than uncoated strings... no excuses. K3 Coating Care The K3 coating on EXTRA-life strings is designed for use with standard picks and fingers. The K3 coating can be damaged by scraping against metal. It is important that care be taken when stringing guitars and basses where the strings are passed through a metal block or bridge. Scraping can damage the coating.
