Your cart is empty.Crafted of 92% Copper and 8% Zinc, Blue Steel acoustic strings are cryogenically frozen with a blast of liquid nitrogen which gives them these special, if not magical qualities. By freezing their strings down to -320ºF, they tighten the molecules, minimizing microscopic gaps. This process removes transient frequencies that produce harsh highs and muddy lows, creating a more consistent string, with true tone and longer life.

I've been playing Blue Steels since I started playing guitar in the 90s. I've tried other brands here and there but always return to these. Great sound, great feel, and excellent longevity. Dean Markley makes quality strings.

I have a moody Gretch acoustic and have tried many, I mean MANY different strings. These 11-52'S are the best. They also set well with my Little Martin. My wandering mind is finally made up. I am at peace...

The guitar I use these strings on has a naturally warmer tone. These strings pair really great with that. The bottom end is rich and full and mud-free, and the highs are bright and clear without getting tinny or sharp. They feel good, they play great, and they last a really long time before showing wear

Dear Markley nunca defrauda. Siempre he usado cuerdas de la marca en mi eléctrica, y ahora en mi nueva acústica tampoco me están fallando.El sonido de estas Blue Steel es limpio y claro (con un toquecillo brillante, casi "metálico" que a mí personalmente me encanta y que a mi guitarra acústica construida en Sapele, una madera más bien "oscura", le sienta genial) pero también abarca bien el espectro de frecuencias graves y medias, sin enmascarar ni colorear el sonido (partiendo siempre de la base, claro está, de que esto de la percepción del sonido es algo muy subjetivo).Recién puestas suenan a gloria:)Para mí es importante la proyección en unas cuerdas, de ahí a que use este calibre 0.13, y la verdad es que en este sentido cumplen con creces, ya que proyectan muy, muy bien.La duración de momento va bien, mis manos son de las que sudan bastante y hasta ahora (más de un mes de uso y varios bolos) el sonido no se ha visto demasiado comprometido (no más de lo normal, y mucho mejor en este sentido que otras cuerdas que he probado) y continúan manteniendo un color bastante vivo a simple vista.Por el precio que tienen en Amazon (6 euros y pico) están fantásticamente bien. Las seguiré usando.

Ich bin ein mieser Gitarrist, bekomme kaum was auf die Reihe. :DAber ich habe Spaß dran. - Und schon ein bisschen Ahnung, da ich meinen Lebensunterhalt früher™ tatsächlich mal als Profimusiker verdiente. Nur halt nicht mit der Gitarre. Dann wäre ich verhungert. :DZuvor hatte ich die berüchtigten "Slinky" von Ernie Ball auf meine Yamaha-Westergitarre gezogen - schlicht deswegen, weil die bei meiner E-Gitarre gut funktionieren und ich noch ein Päckchen übrig hatte.Die klingen zwar etwas kühl, jedoch nicht schlecht, bringen auch einen kräftigen Tieftonbereich, fühlen sich auf der Westerngitarre aber extrem "reißfreudig" an - und das sind sie dann wohl auch.Die Dean-Markley-Saiten habe ich "aus Jux" bestellt - und ganz bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal.Der Klang ist subjektiv deutlich besser, voller, die Saiten fühlen sich gut und griffig an, dabei auch stabiler: Man traut sich viel eher, ordentlich in die Saiten zu hauen als bei den Slinkys. Brillante und feine Höhen, kräftiger "Bassbereich".Deutlich "vollmundiger", wärmer aber dennoch durchsetzungskräftiger als die Slinkys, ohne an Brillanz zu verlieren.Schwierig, einen Eindruck von Gitarrensaiten zu vermitteln, da hier in erster Linie "Geschmackssache" vorherrscht, man Spielgefühl und Klang einfach nicht beschreiben kann.Auf mich wirken die Saiten äußerst angenehm - und ein Bekannter, der schon seit Jahren mit seiner Band durch den Sektor tingelt, war ebenfalls angetan; vor allem vom runden Klang, dem satten Tieftonbereich und den Lautstärken, die man damit aus einer Akustikgitarre herauskitzeln kann.

Actually I haven't had a real chance to try these... Let me explain. I got the set and put them on my guitar but the 6th string was wound so far up the string at the ball end that I could not use it. What I am saying is that at the ball end where there's a wider wrap, that part of the string was too long. Up over the bridge saddle it went and so affected tone (sounding dull) and intonation. I did fine the tone of the good strings very appealing however... So, I removed the strings, took a photo to illustrate hoe the 6th string was defective and sent that on an email to Dean Markley customer service. They were very apologetic and responsive and thanked me for bringing this to their attention and made sure the guy in charge of production got my pix. They also sent me 2 new sets to replace the bad one I could not use. So to sum up, I put a set of Elixirs on the old Martin and I am waiting for those to "die" before I can try out the Blue Steels again. I have not opened the package but I bet the bad string was a real fluke and I expect the new sets will be fine. Anyhow that's why they got 4 instead of 5 stars. I never had a string wound like that before and expect I never will again... I was impressed with the tone of the strings though and will definitely give them another go.

This was the third set of strings I bought for my acoustic guitar. The first one was a Martin phosphor Bronze light, great strings with a great sound, as I was (and still am) learning to play the guitar, these strings helped me to build the necessary calluses on my finger tips but they were killing my fingers in the process, and it was really hard for me to bar some notes on the upper frets as they were really hard to push on. So I decided to sacrifice a little sound and go to nylon strings, so I bought a D'Addario EJ45 Pro Arte set, they were a blessing for my hurting fingers but having heard the beautiful sound produced by the phosphor strings made me miss them a lot. I still wasn't satisfied, I wanted the sound coming from the metallic strings but also knew that I just couldn't play with the set I already had, so I spent hours and hours in Amazon searching for the right strings, that's when I read a review about the Blue Steel Light being the perfect ones because of the sound they produced and because they were as soft as they can be, so I took the risk and ordered them, and perfect they are!, the sound is just great and my fingers are not all complaining and I can even play bar notes anywhere on the neck, just what I was looking for.
