Anyone know anything about Kyser strings?

I got one of their capos for Christmas, and there's an offer for 2 free packs of strings (+ shipping) when you buy one pack. Are they any good?

*OR* get Dean Markley, so you can actualy get a good sound out of the guitar.

<== dislikes elixers
<== doesn't get why anyone likes d'addario

dean markleys give a great full sound out of the guitar. Not too bright, not too low, just right, and they last a good while.

D'addario strings are terrible. They came on my Tak, all they do is squeak and turn your fingers green.

If your fingers turn green you know its a time to change strings .... And they only squeak if you play them wrong , just like any other strings

Well, I went to the guitar store today.. Fordleys Music in Champion, OH, if anyone is close to me. Anyway, I was talking with the owner, and all he had were John Pearse mediums. Never heard of them before, but I had a $25 gift cert, and he highly recommended them, so I figured why not. Frank has never steered me wrong before. I just changed the strings, and all I can say is WOW!! These things are amazing! Such a bright full sound. For my $25 I got the strings, 3 picks, a string wrench, and a nylon strap. Not a bad deal if anyone wants to check them out. $7.95 for 1 pack of strings.

I just ordered some Pearse strings for my D-15. I am hearing nothing but good things, figured I'd try 'em out.

You'll really like them. I'm going to stick with these for a while. Only thing is it's going to take some getting used to going from Martin lights to these. They're much thicker.

I got the 12-53's - I think that is the same size as what came with my D-15. I *think*.

i've got nanaowebs on right now, and i do like the sound, but it does sound a bit fake, had d'add's for a while, and really, its just preference, the d'add's lasted a long time, and they were just the normal lights, but if you guys say these pearse strings are good, why not try em next time? thanks fellas
