Description
There’s a reason so many players keep a stash of these in their gig bag: this 10-52 nickel wound set gives you the snap and sparkle of a light top paired with the beef of a heavy bottom, so your rhythm chunk doesn’t get lost while your lead lines still bend like butter. String out a fresh set and you’ll notice it immediately — brighter attack, mids that push forward without getting muddy, and lows that stay defined whether you’re playing clean arpeggios or slamming into a distorted riff.
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .030, .042, .052
- Nickel wound construction for that classic electric snap and warmth
- Light Top / Heavy Bottom setup — easy bending on top, solid low-end tension on the bottom
- 6-string set
Dunlop didn’t just slap a formula together and call it done. These Performance+ strings were built from scratch, tuned in with feedback from players who actually live on the road, and manufactured in smaller, slower-run batches at their Benicia, California shop so every coil gets real attention instead of getting rushed through a machine. Each set gets sealed up for freshness the moment it’s wound, which means the set you open is going to feel as lively as it’s supposed to — not dulled out from sitting on a shelf.
Backed by over 50 years of string-making know-how and made in the USA, this is a set worth keeping in rotation, especially if you’re the type who swaps strings often enough to actually feel the difference between fresh and dead.
