I will confess that I bought these strings solely for their look for playing live, which is very cool, allowing for some jedi moments on stage depending on the lighting. But aside from the gimmick, the tone of these coated strings holds up against any brand for any style you can throw at it. The coating also reduced the friction on the fingers so adds a new level of comfort to sliding up and down the fretboard, slapping and popping.
The glow does fade after a while but the strings stay crisp and fresh sounding for long after. Definitely worth a purchase.
