Dean Markley 2554 Blue Steel CL Electric Guitar Strings (9-46)

Dean Markley 2554 Blue Steel CL Electric Guitar Strings (9-46) Review



Dean Markley 2554 Blue Steel CL Electric Guitar Strings (9-46) Feature

  • 9-46
Blue Steel? are the world's first and finest Cryogenic- processed strings. That's right, this is the one everyone's been talking about. Blue Steel? strings are a total breakthrough in string technology. Starting with the very finest quality materials, Blue Steel? strings are frozen to minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit, held there for an exact period of time and then slowly and carefully brought back to their original temperature. This unique Cryogenic treatment realigns the molecular structure of the string, giving Blue Steel more highs and lows, a longer life and greater ability to stay in tune. It's simply amazing what a little -320ยบ liquid nitrogen can do to a guitar string. Put on a set and see what all the noise is about. Twice the tone and twice the life.  Gauges: .009; .011; .016; .026; .036; .046

Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst

Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst Review



Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst Feature

  • Mahogany body
  • Maple top
  • 700T Humbucker pickups
  • Rosewood fretboard
  • 24.75 scale
  • Mahogany body and Maple top
  • 24.75" inch scale
All the features of a Les Paul but in a more affordable bolt-neck version. It features a slightly slimmer body for added comfort and hot open-coil Alnico-V Humbucking pickups on a carved top with individual pickup volume and tone controls.

Les Paul Features in an Affordable Package.

Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.
