Blue Steel rocks! I installed a set of "normal" Dean Markley recently that were on sale (a 2-pack) and I would break the A or the low E every gig. Then I went back to Blue Steel, after 2 months, they still shine and never broke.
Also, I was wondering if anyone here knows who make Godin strings? My Godin LGX came with Godin string and they sound good, stay in tune and keep their crisp sound for a long time. Godin say they get them from a leading USA company, I'm certain it's Dean Markley, anyone knows?
