Strings to get!

Ivars V 06.01.2022

Great strings to get if you wish to downtune on 24.75 scale guitar. I use this in dropped C they work out great!
Pros:
* Wound strings feel tighter than strings from other brands, while feeling pretty much the same on the fretting hand
* Stay in tune really well. Don't stretch them by hand, let them settle in over night and retune when needed.
* When used on a short scale guitar, intonation is spot on.

Cons:
* DDT range has pretty limited options gauge wise. Some of the sets just don't make sense. A wider string gauge selection would be awesome!

Almost perfect balance

Press K 19.03.2020

I use these for Drop C on a PRS SE and Drop B on an Ibanez. The gauges are a great fit and they don't feel too stiff or too loose, with the exception of the 6th string. I wish it was slightly beefier.

Their tone is a bit on the soft side, but they retain their clarity for long periods of time. I used to buy coated strings before, but I find the DR DDT lasts just fine anyway — I can use the extra money to buy more sets of strings and change them a tad more often.

Great sound and longevity!

Anonymous 24.11.2014

These are perfect for dropped tunings although I used them in extreme situation of constant tuning from E to C dropped. They behaved perfect and kept perfect tune for more than 6 weeks with still completely usable sound - no other brand gave me this longevity.
DR strings are not packed in vacuum bag - as I can see it doesnt change their properties BUT still - it would protect them in stored in not-so-perfect conditions that's why one star less in quality department. RECOMMENDED!
