To go along with the other strings topic, I've got a question for you Blue Steel users...the tech at work says that they wear down the fretwire faster than other strings do, but I have friends in bands who swear by them and don't notice any more fretwear than with normal strings. What do you guys say?

Re: Blue Steels??
Since the strings are pure stainless steel, they will wear down the strings faster than nickel-plated steel strings. I used them a few times quite awhile ago, as well as GHS Super Steels, and noticed they were a little brighter sounding and didn't care for them as much. I didn't use them a whole lot to notice any fret wear, but that's what I've heard.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

Yeah, stainless steel frets would definitely kick ass! I've been thinking of eventually ordering a Carvin 7-string, and they offer stainless frets now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
