Maximum Down-tuned Performance

Slipknot is a band that’s legendary for the full-force intensity of their live performances. While this chaos is great for the audience, it’s not so great for the life of Jim Root’s guitar strings! Dunlop’s Jim Root guitar strings were designed to stand up to the guitarist's sheer sonic onslaught, boasting the absolute highest level of performance, longevity, and tuning stability. When testing these strings out at Sweetwater, we found that they retain a beautiful high-end clarity for a remarkably long time, even with plenty of abuse — an essential quality to ensure that your ground-shaking riffs and blazing solos don’t sound muddy after a handful of gigs. Finally, Jim handpicked the gauges and core sizes for each pack of strings, offering several different combinations to excel when lighting up the fingerboard with different drop tunings.

  • Designed in collaboration with legendary Slipknot guitarist Jim Root

Reviews

Very solid
Hold tuning very well, intonate well, thick tone, they feel great, even with a 24.75 inch scale length. The plain .20 isn't a complete mess like other plain G strings at that gauge, it sounds and feels good. Very happy with these strings.
My New Favorite Strings
This set of strings is superior to the regular Dunlop DDT set. Very good selection of custom gauge strings Jim!
Music background: Just a dude with bad taste in music
Probably the best strings I’ve ever used
I had no tuning problems with the strings once I got them stretched. 5/5 would buy again
