## 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: Perfect for Your Presidents of the United States of America-style Basitar! - I wanted to create a version of the 'Guitbass' and 'Basitar' that were used by the band 'The Presidents of the United States of America'. For those that don't know, the two main members of that band (Chris Ballew and Dave Dederer) used a total of 5 strings between them to play many of their hit songs. One on a 3-string 'Guitbass' and one on a 2-string 'Basitar'. For making the latter, you need a .36 and a .60 guitar string on an electric guitar. I had trouble finding these strings, but finally located both of them in this set. They worked great!
Review: DDT's did not fail - I've played baritone guitar for 8 years now and as anyone who likes heavy gauge strings knows it's a pain to find a decent pack with an .60g or larger. These strings blew my mind. clear and defined even at my drop A and drop G tunings!!! I am used to going as far as a .72 to try to retain some clarity but these .60 were excellent balance between tension and bend. Many baritone strings often suffer from a lack of livelyness when playing fast or digging in, these strings felt alive and this might sound silly but more 3 dimentional. i was doubly shocked when tremolo picking that I didnt suffer from the usual detuned "flub" that seems to cripple baritone gauges. I can't recomend these strings enough, i havent had this much fun playing in a long time, it's like i had a heavy blanket over my speakers before. My only gripe is that the 4th string isn't wound, but that's minor. I already ordered the mega heavy pack (.65) and plan to re-order these as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for drop tuning
*by R***E on July 14, 2020*

I use these on my guitar tuned to drop c, they do not turn into rubber bands. They sound great and last longer than most brands I have used. I will definitely keep using this brand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DR's are the way to go!!!
*by A***R on February 6, 2017*

Huge fan of DR's. I sweat quite a bit when I play, and suffered through Ernie Ball's and others for years. DR goes the distance and will keep their brightness with a little maint. After playing. Out of 50 or so packs, I may have had one bum string that came unwound out of the pack. All of the DR electrics are a safe bet.
