They Sound Too Good to Be Coated

DR's Extra-Life strings offer players a superior coated string without sacrificing the crisp tone, clarity, and volume that you are used to in traditional DR Handmade Strings. They are coated with a super thin advanced .0003" coating on the plain strings and on the wrap wire, the finest coating known of.

Fine Strings

 

DR HandMade Strings have been dedicated to making wonderful sounding handmade guitar strings since 1989. The concept is that great sound inspires a musician to play better and longer, while adding a new level of enjoyment.

 

Obsession for Greatness

 

Since many of the people at DR HandMade Strings are players themselves, they are able to use their playing experience, and their own obsession with music, as well as the highly valued input from many players throughout the world, to strive to continually increase the range of sounds available to guitar and bass players. They value the feedback that players are willing to share about how they can hear, feel and appreciate the difference. DR makes a wide range of types and models of guitar strings because they know that each one clearly provides a different sound and feel for the many styles of playing and players.

 

Guilded Testing

 

DR HandMade maintains copious amounts of guitars (especially Guild acoustics) for testing the guitar strings they produce. Why Guild guitars? First of all, they like them. Secondly, Mark Dronge, who founded DR HandMade Strings, is the son of Al Dronge, founder of Guild Guitars.

 

The Fine Art of Fine-Tuning

 

The goal at DR is to recreate the very best of old fashioned handmade craftsmanship and combine that with most technically advanced materials and/or coatings available to transcend the boundaries of the guitar string manufacturing process. This is done in the pursuit of great sounds to inspire unrivaled musicianship.

 

The Zebra

 

DR HandMade Guitar Strings proudly presents the ZEBRA ™ on Round Core Revolutionary Electric-Acoustics ZEBRA electric-acoustics! These guitar strings for acoustic-electric guitars with piezo pick-ups under the bridge...or magnetic pick-ups in the soundhole. Also great strings for full size archtop jazz guitars which respond to “Zebras” with “Richer tones” according to players. Brings to life ANY amplified acoustic when you put on the Zebra strings. This has never been done before and is unmatched.  It is the very first string where you can SEE the difference. Every other coil is nickel-plated steel, every other coil RARE phosphor bronze.
