JIM DUNLOP Heavy Core Korn Guitar Strings 10/65-7/Set (KRHCN10657)

Amazing strings!!

I have several 6 string electric guitars, so when I finally pulled the trigger on a Dean Exile 6 string, I wasnt overly impressed. "It's a 6 string guitar with a 7th string. Yawn."After learning a couple Fear Factory songs, the Dean went on the guitar stand and remained untouched for almost a year.Then I put these strings on it (and decked the trem for dive-only) and I LOVE this guitar. Great for covering some Korn, or bashing out your own riffs.Do your seven string guitar a favor and get these strings.

Good sound. Durable

Way back in the 80's I thought the lighter the strings, the easier it was to play the guitar for rock and metal. I upgraded to some 7 string guitars in the past several years and still thought the lightest strings were the way to go. I got these, because something about the technique I was using, just didn't give me the speed I wanted. The strings needed to be stiffer. A whole lot stiffer. I first did a 6 string with some rather heavy strings and it was like a lightbulb of skill just kicked off. So I got a set of these for my 7 string drop A and I swear I can hear angels singing. Triplet note gallops used to be difficult to lock in and now that difficulty isn't there. There's a bit less muddiness in the lower notes and a lot more precision. I am definitely getting another set or two as this set is just excellent. I like how it responds to speed picking and how quickly the firmer strings respond. It's like the different between walking on sand or walking on concrete.Let's be honest, you have a 7 string because of metal, which means you need strings that respond fast to picking. This set is a good place to start.

Buenas

I bought these for my metal guitarist son. He said these are the best strings he's ever had on his 7 string. He said you get great bang for your buck and not paying a ton of money for the name. These are the last strings he's ever going to use!

I have probably have tried every single string company you can possibly name or imagine seeking tone for death metal, specifically drop A on a six string guitar with a hardtail bridge and non-active pickups.Ive also tried their Slipknot version both types, the Trivium version, the non-artist series heavy cores; all sorts of Dunlop string options and this hands down, is the best sounding string set they sell to date for metal.I just drop the high E string off and play the .65 to .13 sizes.They last forever, they hold great tone, I have low end, I have high-end, I absolutely love the response and feel of these strings. I will probably never put any other strings on my guitar ever. Best Bang for buck and I will die on that hill 😤

I love these strings, I only use the thicker six on my semi hallow guitar
