Key Features

  • Mega Heavy Gauge Electric Guitar Strings - .013-.065

Why choose this product

Advanced Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT™)

DR Strings DDT-13 strings incorporate ACT™ with a coated hexagonal core wire that locks the nickel-plated steel wrap wire, providing unmatched tuning stability and intonation at lower pitches. This design outperforms standard strings by resisting detuning and maintaining tone over extended use, especially in humid climates.

Ideal for Drop Tuning and Heavy Playing

These strings are perfect for guitarists who frequently tune down or play heavy riffs. Their heavy gauge and stable construction help avoid tuning slips, making them suitable for professional performances and recording in India’s humid environment. Skip if you have salicylic-acid sensitivity — try a fragrance-free mineral SPF instead.

How to use

  • Install the Strings — Thread the strings through the bridge, wind around tuning pegs, and tune to your desired pitch. Stretch gently to settle the tension.
  • Tune and Lock — Use a tuner to set the pitch, then stretch and retune. These strings lock right in, reducing the need for constant adjustments.
  • Regular Maintenance — Wipe with a dry cloth after playing, especially in humid conditions, to prolong string life and maintain tone.
