The Perfect String for Drop Tunings

Dunlop DHCN1254 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 DHCN1254 Heavy Core strings.

Rated 5/5

best for metal

i have been playing metal for 15 years and i have to say im verry impressed with dunlop guitar strings they have a sound and feel that you have to experience for yourself and they last for a long time you can not ware them out i have been changeing all my guitars from d addiro to dunlop. d addiro regular and NYXL are verry good but theese DUNLOP strings are so AWESOME!!!! also i have played almost all dunlop string guage packs sizes and they are all awesome
Rated 4.5/5

First try on Dunlop

One of the best Gauges I tried out for D and lower. Strings are smooth yet hold tension extremely well. Only thing I don't care for is the plain 20, BUT for this type of strings, it works better under heavy tension than low tension. With tuning em I tried B first, C, C#, and D seems the best for em.
