Re: DR hand made strings!?
i dont really like any coated strings, i tried the dr ones and the still feel like coated strings, i liked them better than the daddario exp and elixer.
i use the pure blues 11's on most things, the tite fit 11's on the guitar i tune down a half step, tite fit 10's on my shred machine and hi beam 10's on my tele
i really like dr strings and ive been using em for about 5 years or so

Re: DR hand made strings!?
because of how they are made, a lighter gauge DR can sound as good as a heavier gauge in other brands.
I use Titefit; but I might need to test drive the Pure Blues. I also use DR's on my e/acoustic.
I don't understand the comments about "no bottom". I have never had a problem with my DR's. Maybe it's an issue of guitar-->string match?
BTW, I prefer darker, warmer tones. And I like DR.

Re: DR hand made strings!?
Interesting and I kind of do remember that as DR does claim their strings feel more flexible. That can be bad if you are tuning down and need to feel a little tension. Maybe I'll stick with my Boomers since they seem to be better designed for low tunings and they last a while for me. I do like D'Addarios though. Honestly, I can't say that any string I've used had any huge impact one way or another. They are all fairly similar.
