## Overview

DR Strings HI-VOLTAGE™ DIMEBAG DARRELL Light 9-42 nickel-plated electric guitar strings feature a hexagonal core and STRINGLIFE™ coating for extended durability without compromising tone.

## Description

HIVOLTAGE™ Electric Guitar Strings are the signature strings played by the late metal icon Dimebag Darrell. They feature a hexagonal core wire and nickelplated steel wrap wire treated with STRINGLIFE™, a molecular bonding liquid polymer that protects them from corrosive elements. As Darrell used to say, “They’re great for everything, from big ol’ string bends, to huge whammy bar dives, perfect for blood curdling harmonic screams and just straight out heavy chunky riffin’.”

Review: Exactly what i've ordered, took only 2 days to get at my door!
Review: I didn't choose this set of strings just because it had dimebag all over it, but its because Ive used DR string before and think they have a really great string life and the tone is just amazing even after constant bending riffing and whammy bar abuse. These strings also have Stringlife applied to them before boxing and this just extends the life of the string even further. DR strings have great tone and great durability and thats the reason why i chose these over other brands.

## Features

- Stringlife Coating applied to the wrap wire extends life without affecting tone or feel
- The nickelplated steel wrap wire and hexagonal core produce a versatile sound
- The strings of choice for the late Dimebag Darrell
- String Gauges: 9, 11, 16, 24, 32, 42

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these the lightest and how light do regular strings go?**
A: These are medium lights, they are the best stings I have ever used. I typically wouldn't go above 10 or 11 on the high end and I'd try to stay in the 40's on the low end. But each brand will have their own gauges so I'd look around at brands like Earny Ball and D'addario

**Q: What is the life of these? D'addario and others rust in a day or break on me.**
A: Excellent.  These do not rust up on me like Ernie Balls.  I use a string lube/cleaner and can go a few months before I decide to change them out, only broken a handful of strings in the past few years.

新品の時の音が非常に長続きする弦です。 もともと防錆に強かったと記憶していますが、さらに防錆を強化してあります。 使ったことがない人は一度使って欲しい弦です。
