## Description

Product Description The first thing you will notice about these strings is that they go right into tune and lock in. Players say they are “so stable it is almost eerie.” Now you can stand and deliver in tune notes at lower pitch that are clean and clear. Expect more and get more. Change tunings and be surprised how DDT's lock right in. Be surprised how little adjustments you make. DDTs deliver far more than just heavy gauges. Drop with confidence, drop with accuracy. DDTs maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than any other string we have ever played or heard. Designed over a two year build and test period to answer the needs of the dark side. From the Manufacturer DDT™ Drop Down Tuning Electric Guitar Strings maintain their intonation at lower tunings thanks to Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT™), a coated hexagonal core wire that locks the nickel-plated steel wrap wire in place to increase stability and maintains intonation at any tension. DDTs go right into tune and deliver clean and clear notes. Change tunings and be surprised how DDT's lock right in without constant adjustment.

Review: Turned my Strat into a baritone - The reviews tell no lie; DDT-13’s are reliable, powerful, and convenient for hitting the lowest tunings you should want (on a guitar, anyway). I set my Hamer Stratocaster copy up with these, and for my first string change ever? Not bad. Had to unwind the ends of the largest strings and file my nut, but it’s a pretty efficient conversion at a 25.5” scale length. For the sound: they are massive. Cannons. Great volume unplugged, and amazingly rich tone when plugged in. You can go to A standard without any major issues, but B standard is my preference; you could even go up to C, D, or E, but make sure you’ve got strong hands and a strong guitar. And, on that topic: once these are broken in, they feel lovely. Not really any harder to play, and actually somewhat easier, for me, due to the thickness + slickness of the strings. I miss fewer notes.
Review: Great little set of strings - I play in Drop C, D standard, and C standard on an Epiphone Les Paul and these strings are perfect for me. I used other strings for many years, but I kept having to adjust my truss rod and bridge to compensate for the lack of tension. This set is excellent and provides great intonation in my tuning range. I tried another brand of strings with this gauge and they sounded ridiculously twangy. I've also had a lot of trouble with locking in the tuning of some other brands and, I have to say, these lock in better than any other brand I've tried. They lock in so well its almost like I have a Floyd Rose -- I can go without playing for a long time in both humid and dry conditions and these are never more than a tiny bit off when I pick up the axe again. When I take care to properly clean my strings and apply string glide after I play, they also last a lot longer than some other brands I've bought. Because of my excellent experience with DR strings, these are my go-to brand and I won't be playing anything else.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 22 plain or wound?**
A: The 22 is plain. Best strings I have ever used.

**Q: Would these be good for an open key slide only playing?**
A: absolutely.  I play in open G a lot of the time when I play slide and I find it helps my intonation to have a proper D as my lowest string instead of a slack E.thanks,Taylor

**Q: Can I use these strings in E standard or Eb tuning?**
A: I wouldn't. Really heavy strings like this are meant to be used for downtuning. There really is no point to using an extra heavy string in standard or Eb tuning except for making it a little hard to play. If you're playing in standard or Eb use 9s or 10s. These are awesome for Drop A or even C standard.

**Q: will the low E, (65), fit in a standard gibson tuner?**
A: Gibson should be able to handle well into the 70's which is great for all your drop F# needs. 

In short. Yes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting strings
*by A***R on November 27, 2023*

I put these on a Duo Sonic of all things. We tune down at least a half step in standard then drop from there for open tunings. Not really heavy stuff, but with a short scale the tuning stability is an issue. I’ve always used heavy strings regardless of the guitar, but these are a cut above. Very stable, nice rounded tone. Had to file the nut a bit but that’s ok. Really like them and a great price. I imagine on a more “appropriate” guitar these would be a no brainer, but you can take it from me that they work for pretty much any style of music, and on a jangly guitar.
