Yeah, they look good on a black guitar OK! Personal opinion is that they are more susceptible to breakage than Slinky's but if they don't break the finish gives them 2-3 times the life due to lack of corrosion dulling the tone. Really a novelty item as they're too expensive to use every string change and not as good at bends as Dunlops but if you're after instant pimp factor this is an easy solution. Try them once, someone will comment on your strings, job done...
