Drop-down tuning guitar strings that go right into tune and lock in.

The first thing you notice with DR Drop-Down Tuning Guitar strings is how stable they are. DDT strings maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than other strings you may have played or heard. Players say DR DDT guitar strings are so stable it is almost eerie.

Now you can "stand and deliver" in-tune notes at lower pitches that are clean and clear—plus you can drop tune with confidence and accuracy. You'll be surprised how few adjustments you'll make to change tunings and will be even more surprised how well DR Drop-Down Tuning strings lock into tune.

Experienced players comment: "Tuned down, I was never able to play a favorite riff. It always came out muddy and garbled. Now it is crystal clear. I am going to record it and give it to my bandmates, who could not hear it before."

DR DDT strings deliver far more than just heavy gauges—they deliver impeccable tone.

Mega Heavy gauges: 13-17-22-42-56-65.


Order today and get drop-down tuning strings that are designed and wound to answer the needs of the dark side.

      These are some of the most annoying strings I've ever tried, I do not recommend them if you have a floyd, and the 6th string will not fit through your tuning peg unless you drill the whole bigger or unwind the string a little, definitely wouldn't get it for anything higher than drop B

        Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

        I just received these strings in the mail today. and while restringing my guitar I was in the middle of tuning the D string and it just started unraveling. I emailed MF about this defect and they told me they will not replace the string or give my money back. Thy told me the only thing I could do is to buy a whole new pack and try again. I've had very good experience with MF for so many years but not I think I will look for a new place to get my music gear.

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              These strings are great for the most part. The only problem I can find is that the .22 sounds flat all the time. When trying to play a melody it sounds out of tune even though the tuning is dead on... I have this problem no matter what guitar I put these strings on. But if I play the same melody with different stings it sounds great. So I know it's the stings and not me or the guitar...

              Awesome Strings

              By Austin Williams

              from Undisclosed

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              I play an octave below standard. There aren't completely slack so that's awesome.
              The ability of the strings to hold a decent low tone and to not be completely slack is amazing.
              Just great quality...
              Great price for great strings.

              Lowest I've been able to tune

              By John Lillegard

              from Boise, ID

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              Love these so far. Feels like standard in C and like drop B in drop G. Never been able to tune that low before and now I can do it and still have great tone. Some of the strings had to be sawed into the nut a bit but luckily I have a cheap plastic nut instead of something harder.

              Drops REALLY low

              By Lucas Johnston

              from Hilton, New York

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              I got these strings hoping to tune to Dropped-C or Dropped-C#. They get tight at Dropped-B. If you plan on using them for Dropped-A (anything lower than that is just ridiculous), Dropped-Ab, or Dropped-B, these are good for that. The lowest string tends to sharpen when played on the frets higher than the 7th though. Otherwise they're fine, and it takes FOREVER for any of the strings to die. I've had them for 4 months and they still play just as well as they did when I got them. The sound is great... just get them if you plan to tune really REALLY low.

              Best strings I've used for down tuning

              By ibanezrocker720

              from Rochester, PA

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              I bought these for my Gibson Les Paul Custom that's tuned to B-F#-B-E-G#-C# and WOWWW!!! They not only provide the tension needed for this tuning on a shorter scale guitar but they sound amazing! By far the best tone I've had to date, everyone at band practice noticed how tight and clear the sound was using these and I also got the guitar to intonate perfectly! Only thing different I do is buy a 22 wound g string and swap it in because I prefer them over the regular.

              Great Strings

              Comments about DR Strings Drop-Down Tuning Mega Heavy Guitar Strings:

              These strings do exactly what their designed for. They sound great, I tune in B standard/Drop A and the tension is like standard tuning. I have them on a ESP Eclipse and they fit through the tuners just fine. I Definitely recommend these if you want to play heavy music. They sound great with distortion and sound great clean.
