Query: A cute gimmick ? ? ?

Although these strings looked really cool on my Gibson SG, I didn't care for the feel and they deadened the tone. I've been, what I call playing, for about 12+ years and have tried every known brand out there. I normally use DR Pure Blues and love them but thought I try the cool looking black strings. Sorry but I'd rather have cheap warehouse strings.Don't waste your time and money on these strings if you're looking for tone.
