DR Strings

Low tension....The sound is Loud and Warm The RARE phosphor bronze acoustic strings are a departure from the standard, good quality bronze string currently available. They're not necessarily better, but possessing a new, different, and stronger "voice". When DR set out to produce a string with new characteristics, their goal was to redesign contemporary thinking about what phosphor bronze can do for a good acoustic guitar. Hand-carved arch-tops and dreadnaughts and good steel string acoustic guitars of rosewood, maple, and mahogany seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain with RARE phosphor strings. Players who want a fatter, louder sound, a deeper bottom (who like to hear their guitars ring out) will appreciate the RARE phosphor tone, sound, and feel. According to our heavy-playing bluegrass friend, three-time national guitar picking champion Steve Kaufman, RARES last an unusually long time. Steve recommends DR to all his students. Learn more...

The DR Strings Pure Blues Electric Guitar Strings are the result of using old style construction to improve modern performance. Pure Blues electric guitar strings are designed with pure nickel wrap wire, round wound upon round core. While this is a slow, expensive method of string making, it does produce a string acclaimed for increased sustain, vintage tone, and great low tones for playing rhythm to lead. The extra step of winding pure nickel around a round core gives the Pure Blues a punch that players say they are surprised to get in a vintage string. Learn more...

Dimebag Darrell's High Voltage electrics are made for extreme playing. "I've been playin' the strings of strength since 1995.

It is the very first string where you can see the difference. Every other coil is nickel-plated steel, every other coil is Rare phosphor bronze... wound on round-cores. Learn more...

Lo-Rider stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed upon a hexagonal core. They provide more depth of tone, and are a bit stiffer than Hi-Beams. Bass players who are into slapping, popping, and tapping will love the high end and depth of Lo-Riders. The slight bit of stiffness makes Lo-Rider bass strings very accurate when playing harmonics. Great consistency, and great string-to-string balance are DR hallmarks. Fits scale lengths up to 37 3/4". Learn more...
