Holiday Music seem to stock the DR black beauties in stock, and mansons down in Devon (?) are listed as the UK stockist.

Sorry for being off topic

Rob...

I need to know where to get em in UK too so no worries.
Will bring back as many as I can but always a limit.

kool. how are you finding that there bearing up nick? like it says on the packet somewhere, mine have started to fade around where the pick strikes the strings but this looks pretty cool with my distressed pup cover and raw looking guitar in general.... i reckon it could be annoying though if youve got a sleek looking axe....

LOVE mine.
No wear thus far really, and by now D'Adarrio,Ernie Ball,GHS would be rusty to HELL where I fret on the neck.

Will post some red on flame "drool" pics for ya whenever darn UPS gets here :)

I am NOT using any other string till find one better than these, and have tried all above thus far.

Elixir Nanoweb I am told are good but saw a guys the other day and the coating wears off after awhile where the pick hits strings (they have micro plastic coating). Also, they feel too slick for me.

I Like DR's and till shown/hear of summit better they are my choice, colour wear or not.

excellent- looking forward to those pics!

yer im sticking with the DR's from now on too... love them. even if they werent anything special sound wise id probably just get them for the aesthetics lol!. surprised that youve had no colour wear though. maybe i just pick harder :P

Due to concentrating on alternate picking etc. you may indeed hold and pick harder LOL

I use Dunlop picks (tortex, nuffin special) but no wear yet.

lol i think its a combination of heavy guage picks, really heavey music in band songs recently and more practice than usual.
