DR DDT™ (Drop-Down Tuning) Electric Guitar Strings are engineered to deliver rock-solid performance even at the lowest tunings. Featuring Accurate Core Technology™, these strings use a hexagonal core wire with precision coating that locks the nickel-plated steel wrap firmly in place. The result is superior tuning stability, accurate intonation, and extended string life, no matter how low you go.

Designed for modern players who frequently drop their tuning, DDT™ strings provide tight, focused lows, crystal-clear highs, and reliable projection. Whether you’re playing heavy riffs, aggressive metal, or experimental low tunings, these strings ensure your tone stays clean, balanced, and powerful.
