The search for the right strings
The search for the right instrument can accompany a musician their entire life, but finding the right strings is something almost everyone has to deal with as well. There's a direct tactile connection between players and their strings, which play a huge role in how the instrument feels. The DR Strings Dragon Skin+ DEQ-11 Coated strings are an electric guitar string set made using high-quality materials and an ultra-thin coating. Thanks to DR's patented manufacturing process, the strings offer exceptional longevity, yet without introducing any unfamiliarity to the playing feel – the strings are barely distinguishable from uncoated ones. For anyone looking to give their instrument a real boost in dynamics and volume, DR Strings is a strong choice.

A patented coating
The technical design of the Dragon Skin+ DEQ-11 Coated strings is no simple matter; it reflects a very high level of engineering expertise. Once the strings reach a certain thickness, they're wound to ensure both a powerful tone and a comfortable playing feel. The way DR Strings puts this into practice is particularly well executed: The strings are built around a specially adapted steel core, which is wrapped with coated Quantum Nickel. This process brings out the best qualities of the string. This version of the Dragon Skin+ offers a premium playing feel, along with a full, rich tone characterised by an open high end, and a noticeable increase in output compared to uncoated strings. Taken together, this combination can lift an instrument to the next level.

An accurate core
Where conditions on stage might once have meant changing strings after each gig, the Dragon Skin+ DEQ-11 Coated strings keep going show after show. This is thanks primarily to their outer wrap; it's almost impervious to corrosion and moisture, while simultaneously contributing to the strings' extraordinary resonance. The patented Coated Wrap Wire also ensures that the strings feel great, giving purists exactly the playing sensation they'd expect. But the Dragon Skins aren't just cutting-edge on the outside: With DR's unique Accurate Core Technology, which applies almost microscopic locking grooves to the precisely milled steel core, the wrap sits perfectly within the string's architecture, resulting in a richer tone and sustain. These are some high-tech guitar strings, setting new standards in terms of sound and play feel – all without compromising their flexibility or tensile strength.

About DR Strings
Founded in 1989 by Mark Dronge – son of Guild Guitars founder Alfred Dronge – DR Strings is a US-based string manufacturer deeply rooted in a lifelong passion for music and craftsmanship. Drawing on decades of expertise, the family-run company combines premium materials, time-tested production techniques, and skilled artisanship to create diverse string sets designed to unlock the full potential of every instrument. This relentless pursuit of innovation and quality has earned DR Strings the trust of global artists, from Sting and Derek Trucks to Jared James Nichols and Bootsy Collins, making it a go-to choice for discerning musicians worldwide.
An improved experience
Alongside feel and tone, tuning stability is absolutely essential when it comes to strings. Here too, the American manufacturer DR Strings has come up with a smart solution. The Accurate Core Technology also strengthens the core itself and evens out natural irregularities, allowing it to form a more consistent bond with the Quantum Nickel winding, which helps the strings stay in tune even when they're played hard. The Dragon Skin+ DEQ-11 Coated set is gauged .011, .014, .018, .028w, .038w, .050w, making it suitable for moderate drop tunings such as Drop D or E-flat. At the same time, it works perfectly well in standard E tuning for those who prefer a slightly heavier string tension. In the end, this string set is the result of careful research and painstaking production, with the clear aim of improving a musician's experience in every way a guitar string can.
