Black Beauty coated strings from DR Strings deliver stellar tone for your electric guitar and are crafted for the long haul. Utilizing DR’s K3 ultra-hard coating over nickel-plated steel windings, Black Beauties resist corrosion, boast an extended string life, and maintain the punch and snap you crave from fresh strings. Performing musicians here at Sweetwater agree that DR’s Black Beauties not only present a striking aesthetic to any guitar or bass — they also deliver enhanced clarity and articulation while reducing unwanted overtones. What’s more, you get a robust string feel that’s ideal for riffing and speed-of-light soloing, thanks to its hexagonal core construction. Sonically powerful, visually striking, and expertly crafted, Black Beauties make a bold statement!
