Description
Dropped tunings have a way of turning a normal set of strings into rubber bands — floppy, dull, and short on punch. Dunlop built the Heavy Core series specifically to fight that. Instead of just slapping a heavier gauge on standard construction, they reworked the core-to-wrap ratio so the string keeps its backbone even when you slack the pitch down. That means you can dig into palm mutes and low chugs without the note collapsing into mush.
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .028, .038, .048
- Nickel wound construction for classic warmth with solid attack
- Heavy (10s) tension set, built for electric guitar
- 6 sets included
- Made in Benicia, California
What you actually feel under your fingers is a tight, controlled low end that doesn’t wobble out of tune when you bend, a midrange that stays present instead of getting swallowed by distortion, and a top end that still sings cleanly whether you’re playing spa-clean tones or full gain. This is a set for players who tune down and don’t want to compromise on feel or pitch stability to get there.
Grab the 6-pack and stop rationing fresh strings — swap them out the moment that lively snap starts fading, and keep every session sounding as tight as the first riff of the day.
