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.

These are great for drop tuning. Very stable and sound good. Long lasting also.

These bad boys hold up nicely. I can hop from a standard to E standard on my Les Paul with ease. If I turn the to B standard and walk away for a few days then pick it back up, it’s basically good to go. They hold whatever tuning you put them in nicely. Plus they sound awesome and the quality is remarkable. Highly recommend

The best strings I have ever used. No matter what tuning I use these strings hold it. 4 out of 5 of my guitars have Floyd Rose bridges. They respond and react extremely well with the Floyds. I highly recommend them. What ever you do, stay away from the Veritas line. Those strings are garbage.

I've used these before and like them for half step tunings on short scale guitars or D standard on 25.5 inch scale. They are pretty stable with tuning. They are not as bright as the DR High Beams but do not sound dull either. Other sellers have either stopped carrying them or offer in bulk packs only. They last long enough that bulk packs don't make sense for me to purchase so thanks to this seller for offering single packs.

These strings have felt like new, even after daily playing them for 3 weeks now. Ernie Balls usually begin to feel dead about a week into playing them. I've been exclusive to Elixir for a while because of their longevity, but I will be switching to these from here on out.Brightness only 3 stars (neutral) because I do not have enough time with these strings for that kind of fair and proper assessment. I have been using these strings on a guitar that has, in my mind, darker-sounding pickups.Also, I initially thought these would be a bit harder to bend because of their construction, but these bend as easy as any 10-gauge string set would.

Prese per la prima volta e finora reggono bene l’intonazione. Accordatura un semi tono sotto e drop in C#.

I like the heavy version of these for drop tuning. They are so durable compared to other brands especially when changing tunings often. I figured I’d get an e standard set based of that durability. They play really nice but only lasted a week playing an hour a day. The core of the A string snapped while playing lightly on a fixed bridge guitar at the bridge. Lightly like my wife was sitting on the couch in the same room reading a book. I wasn’t banging on it. Not sure if I just got a bad set but it’s enough to keep me from buying this gauge again. I love the heavy ones though.

I love these things. They last forever too. 10-46 for Estd or DropD on 25.5", 10-46 or 11-54 on 24.75"Disclaimer : if you like these, you will HATE dr Veritas. And vice versa.Choose True Blues (darker) or Tite Fits (brighter) if you want another DR flavor.

Best strings for low tuned guitars. I've used these for years and most guitar shops will tell you they aren't made... and never were. Yes they were and are and they kick ass.

Great strings but don't like seeing a picture of a spider

We often play in drop D, and these strings seem great. They certainly give a fresh sound to my guitar compared to the previous earnie ball set. Happy buyer.
