DR Strings Dragon Skin Clear Coated Electric Guitar Strings

Give your guitar a little magic with DR Dragon Skin coated electric strings -- they're made to sound great and to keep that sound going longer.

Dragon Skin Electric Guitar Strings feature DR's K3 clear coating on a nickel-plated steel wrap wire to prevent dirt and perspiration from reaching the round core wire, preventing corrosion. The K3 coating, which is applied to all strings in the set, is ultra-hard and doesn't dampen vibration like softer coatings can. The strings have more projection, fewer unwanted overtones, greater clarity and articulation than uncoated strings.

These strings were a surprise for me. I thought that a coated electric string would have my figures and pick sliding all over the place, but this was not the case. There was a noticeable lack of friction then normal strings, which I like because the death metal and jazz (mainly bop and free) that I play is usually fast (quarter note = 180-250 bpm) and lack of friction = less energy that I have to expend. The tone was very consistent from the moment that I put the strings on. Even after they were all stretched out the tone was still the same. The tone lasted for about 3 weeks before the coating started to come off. I play a few hours a day everyday so please keep that in mind. I broke the D string about 4 1/2 weeks in and did not have another set of these strings and replaced it with a regular string. It got me through rehearsal, but the feel of that one non-coated string and the tone were completely different from everything else. So if you like these guys get at least 2 packs so you don't come across this problem. You are going to get the same DR quality that they are known for. I've been playing DRs for years. Hand made strings are sometimes a toss up, but DR has done well by me and gives me the tone I need to play a plethora of styles. If you do not want to have a dramatic tonal difference in your strings after a few weeks of playing then these guys are for you.
