DR Strings Electric Guitar Strings, Dimebag Darrell Signature, Treated Nickel-Plated, 10-46

I am a creature of habit. I'm resistant to change . I broke my my ( high ) E string and as fate would have it no one had my beloved Ernie Ball regular Slinky's in stock . I suppose I could have ordered the " next-best " option and opted to order a set of higher or lower gage strings but like I said previously I'm resistant to change , so I decided to try some strings that I had always wanted to try but never actually got around to using them. I went with a set DR " Dimebag Darrell signature TNP .10-.46 because they were the closest gage strings to what I'd normally order but mistakenly thought that they might be a little " too Metal " for a '61 Gibson SG . Dude ! All I can say is you have to try these out. I've fallen in love . I tune down a 1/2 step to Eb and it seems that these strings were designed to be tuned low. There is a lovely " sponginess "to the feel . They retain enough string tension throughout the neck without getting too " loose " and making you adjust your instrument's set-up. There is no fret buzzing . They play great , they sound GREAT and I can't find any reason NOT to love them .They will not go out of tune and if my next set plays and feels as good as these do they will be the only strings I will ever use on the SG going forward. I almost didn't write this review ( keepin' em for myself ) but they preform so well I felt I owed it to the fine people @ DR " The Handmade Strings " to get the word out . Can't wait to try a set on the ( Kramer ) Baretta 85 . Interested in how DR's compare to GHS Boomers . Might even try them on my Strat . ***** .UPDATED 1/29/21 I am on my second set and still loving the HELL out these strings . I again took the leap of faith and put the same set on my vintage '85 Kramer ( Baretta ) equipped with an original Floyd Rose. Now I have another difficult decision going forward . Compared to GHS Boomers ( same gauge ) these " feel " just a little bit more solid . The GHS strings are brighter ... but not so much brighter that someone who doesn't have a player's ear would probably even notice . That being said persons familiar with Mr. Abbott's technique know that he " didn't spare 'em ." He played the HELL of of his gear , so I haven't spared 'em either . They actually made me change the way I play . Although the Baretta came with a Floyd I seldom if ever used it . So I dug it out of it's case and attached the bar ; . If your guitar(s) is / are equipped with a Floyd all I can say is put on a set and have some fun .

Best strings that I personally ever played with. Compatible to the Gibson Ace Freeley signature strings at a fraction on the cost.

Even if he never used these strings, paying tribute to a legend, makes you legendary by proxy.

This was a Xmas gift for my som! I did cheat I asked him to make an amazon wish list and share it with me and I would pick a few things from it… so still a surprise but not wasting money. Anyway he loves these strings and uses them all the time on his electric guitar

I ordered the dime signature set with hex core and received plain round core strings. I went ahead and kept them even though they were wrong style and gauge. But I was very happy with them after putting them on and playing. DR makes a pretty good string. I broke the high E yesterday and ordered a set of neon green. They are mediocre so far. But seem like decent strings I guess. I won't buy the colors again. And probably won't have any color left in about a week. The paint is already flaking off after about 10 minutes of playing on them

They stay it tune Very well but to me they are a bit thin sounding compared to the same size in GHS Boomers. I put them on my Les Paul which has Zakk Wylde EMGs. When these are worn out, I will go back to GHS. Really wanted to love these strings.

todo en perfecto estado
