Jim Dunlop Heavy Core Electric Guitar Strings 10-60 | 7-String

I'm no professional guitarist, but I really love these strings. They feel great and sounds great and stay in tune! Had them on there about a year now. I didn't play much but at far so good

Awesome strings i have used them over the years they never let Me down!!!

I really like the gauges they chose for this set. Compared to Regular Ernie Ball and D'Addario sets, all the wound strings are slightly thicker while leaving the plain strings the same, feels good and well balanced. Works great for Standard and Drop A. Not sure about going any lower, it might work, depending on your guitar's scale length.They're supposed to have a heavier core wire (hence the name), but I don't notice much if any difference feel-wise, which is a plus.They sound a little strange brand new, dull, almost plastic sounding but once they settle in they have a nice tone - bright, but slightly warmer than say D'Addario. Not muddy at all though.The tone lasts a long time too! Longer than D'Addario & Ernie Ball.I recommend this set. Can't really beat it at this price point.

I bought a couple of pairs for my 6-string, and liked them enough to get for my 7. I will first, go into small detail about my guitar experience, and then go into the pros and cons of these strings.I have been a guitar player for 12 years, and a gigging guitarist for 11. I am not a shredder, but I write in lower tunings, and play a mean rythmn, with some occasional solos. I have tried nearly every brand of string, and consider myself very picky.Pros: When new, these have a decent tone. They also stay in tune very well, and the sustain is amazing. The more play, the better they seem to sound. They have a really nice, warm sound once they have been broken in. They are also priced very well for the quality.Cons: I am not a fan of the way they sound when freshly strung. The thick core almost makes it sound a tad muffled, when compared to the GHS Boomers. Where most strings sound super bright when first strung, these sound almost cheap. With that said, once they have been broken in a bit, the true sound releases. The other con, is since the core is thicker than most wound strings, you need some heavy duty clippers to cut through. My hand was a little sore using my normal clippers when I got to the bottom three strings. My last con, is they don't seem to last quite as long as the Boomers, or D,Addario strings do. I had one set break after three months, and another around four. Not sure if it's in my head though, because where most strings start sounding real muddy and dark before they break; these still sound amazing all the way to the breaking point.Overall, I really enjoy these strings. I am still more of a fan of GHS Boomers, but these rank extremely close to them. Just don't go into the studio, or play a show until they break in first. I would recommend these for sure.

I know these are meant for 7-stringed guitars but I bought these and put the three thickest strings on to replace my 13 gauges. I cannot tune past Drop B and I LOVE it... I fear if I do I'll break them.. but the guitar I put them on is not meant for those pussy tunes. If you wanna be a Djentlemen, these strings are for you. I play these regularly in Drop A or A# and have had it tuned to Drop E for the last week.Anyways, in all seriousness. These strings have NOT lost their clarity and tone, they're still bright and shiny and play like Heaven. My fingers slide all around on them and seriously improves my speed... no joke.

I've used Heavy Core Dunlop strings for as long as I can remember. Brilliant and cutting tone at LOW tunings. I tune to B-Standard or Drop-A so the 7 string set works on my 6 string. Dunlop's "heaviest" 6 string set is excellent for Drop-C and D-standard.

Sound great, last long and comparably inexpensive. My only complaint is that they don't make these in larger gauges.

I play in standard B and also drop A tuning. These seemed to be ok when playing in standard tuning, except the two low strings did not stay in tune very well. When I lowered to drop A, the sound was not good and would not stay in tune even after I re-did the intonation. I switched to Ernie Ball heavy bottom strings, and all the problems went away.
