Enhance Your Electric Guitar with Dragon Skin+ Coated Strings

Enhance Your Electric Guitar with Dragon Skin Coated Strings

Some guitarists just want to lay down a nice rhythm. Others want to breathe fire with intricate lead riffs and soaring solos. By using new Dragon Skin+ electric guitar strings, you can do both and so much more. Created by industry leader DR Handmade Strings, these strings take the “rules” of coated electric guitar strings and throw them out in favor of a design that sets the new bar for performance and longevity.

Even if you’re already a DR string loyalist to series such as the Veritas, Pure Blues, Hi-Beam and Hi-Voltage, Dragon Skin+ can redefine what’s possible. What if you’ve sworn never to use a coated string again? We think there’s a good chance you’ll change your mind after trying a set. Here are four ways that Dragon Skin+ coated strings enhance a guitar.

1. Quantum Nickel Plating

Nickel-plated wrap wire has long been the most common design for people who want a brighter guitar sound. You might not think there’s a way to improve on this — but Dragon Skin+ strings do so with a unique Quantum Nickel plating formula. This gives the strings a richer tone and increases the output signal. In other words, your guitar will sound better and be louder, cutting through the din so every lick you play is heard.

2. A Locking Core

DR knows the importance of projection with electric guitars, so they have doubled down on sound by using patented Accurate Core Technology™. Instead of the usual hex core, this design has a round core with locking grooves. It holds the wrap wire firmly in place, and that added stability lets the strings ring with a full-bodied and huge tone. It also keeps the tuning pure so you spend less time tweaking the pegs and more time shredding.

3. Coated Wrap Wire

“But wait,” some anti-coated string guitarists are saying. “All that tech doesn’t matter because the coating dulls the sound!” This may be true of other coated strings, but not Dragon Skin+. DR uses a patented micro-thin coating directly around the wire. This resists corrosion for extra-long life while having little if any impact on the resonance. You also don’t get the slipperiness usually associated with coating strings, making the transition a breeze.

4. Amazing String Options

There are a lot of electric guitars out there, and the DR Dragon Skin+ collection has strings to fit nearly all of them. Choose from five different string gauges for six-string guitars, including light, light-medium, medium, medium-heavy and heavy. What if you like more strings on your guitar? DR offers multiple Dragon Skin+ string sets for seven-string guitars and eight-string guitars. This is just the introductory lineup, so we’re sure even more will be added.
