Neon strings and Rocksmith!

I just bought a set of neon strings for my electric guitar. Today I'm gonna put them on, and see how awesome it's gonna be :P They vary in color, just check the pictures :D

Neon strings! :D

They're from the brand DR Handmade Strings, that actually make handmade strings. The strings should glow in UV lighting, but unfortunately I don't have an UV light source.
I took a picture of my guitar before and after, and I think the change is to the better :D at least for a while.

 
Before and after changing to the neon strings!

Furthermore, the strings' colors matches the in-game strings' colors in the game Rocksmith. I've played the game for a while, and think it's pretty nice. It's like the Guitar Hero series, just with a real guitar. You plug in a real electric guitar or bass through a special cable to the PC via USB, and then the game processes the sounds, an amplifier normally would have done. The game regulates the difficulty itself, just by watching how many notes you hit and miss, which could be a great tool for new guitarists, especially with strings like these, now that the strings are often referred to in the game as "the red string", "the yellow string" and so on. :P
