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.

I love these. They work really great as advertised. Warm tone but clear, hold sustain well, hold tuning stability longer that normal gouges when tuned down. Quite happy.

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

7弦をレギュラーで使用してましたがドロップ欲が出てしまい何かいい弦無いかなぁ〜って探してたら良さそうな弦を発見！使った感じはドロップしても全ての弦のテンションのバランスが良い！まだ張って間もないのでどの程度の寿命かは分かりませんがライブ前に張り替えてその後ほぼ毎日弾いて1ヶ月程経ちましたがくたびれた感じはまだ無いですね。自分の用途では現状最適だと思います。難点としてはあまり売ってないので入手が難しいってくらいですかね…

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.

En si para afinación B standard está perfecto, con este calibre puedes afinar sin problema en drop A, G#, F#, incluso en E para doom metal pero no lo recomiendo mucho para esos extremos

If you have a 25.5 scale length on your seven, these will only allow you to downtune a full step down before things get wonky. I switched out the bottom string with a 70 so I could comfortably execute Drop G. Excellent strings. They'll bring out a solid sound out of your guitar. But if you're trying to pretend to own an 8-string, get something thicker (or get an eight).Other than that, they're awesome. Quality strings with predictably quality results.

Ich habe diverse Saiten ausprobiert, unter anderem Daddario, Elexir undErnie`s. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist hier absolut in Ordnung, die Langlebigkeit der Saitenist bei entsprechender Pflege ausgezeichnet.Genutzt werden die Saiten auf einer7 String im Drop A Tuning, hierfür sehr gutes Spieltgefühl und guter Sound (modern rock/nu metal).Im Vergleich finde ich Ernie Ball zum Anfang hin etwas brillianter, alles in allem aberbilden diese Saiten von Dunlop aber den besten Querschnitt aller Marken, die ich bisher testen konnte.Ich werde wohl bei diesen hier bleiben.

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.

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

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.
