The search for the right strings
A musician can spend their entire life searching for the right instrument – so finding the right strings should be made as easy as possible. After all, there's a genuine physical connection between players and their strings, which play a huge role in how an instrument feels. The DR Strings Dragon Skin+ DEQ-10 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, they offer exceptional longevity, yet without introducing any unfamiliar 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-10 Coated strings is no simple matter; it reflects a very high level of engineering expertise. All but the very lightest strings are 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 performance, the Dragon Skin+ DEQ-10 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' strong, clear 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 fuller tone and enhanced sustain. These are some high-tech electric guitar strings, delivering across the board in both sound and feel – without compromise.

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.

It's suitable for moderate drop tunings such as Drop D or E-flat, while also working reliably in standard tuning. Players who prefer a firmer string tension will find many suitable alternatives from DR Strings available in our shop.
