DR black beauties have a coating preverting them from being electricaly grounded, but stop string corrosion if you have acid hands like I do. It all depends on your bridge and pickups. DR coated strings MIGHT screw your tone if you have passive pickups, because passive pickups are grounded to you via the bridge and strings. EMG's don't require a ground through the bridge and strings so coated strings work great with them.
