The Perfect String for Drop Tunings

Dunlop DHCN1150 Heavy Core electric guitar strings are ideal for drop tunings. Dunlop uses carefully-selected core wire and proprietary wrap ratios to let you get agressive with your pick attack, while retaining a tight low end, focused midrange, and smooth high end - whether you're playing clean or distorted. Dunlop makes Heavy Core strings at their Benicia, California factory, and sweats the details throughout the design, manufacturing, and packaging process. Every set of Dunlop strings is packaged with three levels of moisture protection and sealed in a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor bag. Into drop tunings? Try Dunlop DHCN1150 Heavy Core strings.

Dunlop Heavy Core

These are some of the longest lasting strings I have ever used and they feel awesome.They sound good and stay in tune even when they have been on too long.

Simply the best

These strings really made my Les Paul come to life and the only strings I've used for 2 or 3 years now. The wrapped strings are tight but have a fantastic bungee feel when bending or when using vibrato.
I tried the Ernie Ball "Papa Het's Hardwired Master Core" strings, they are just a "dead" sounding heavy core at twice the price. Sorry James...
