DR Strings Dragon Skin+: The Coated String Game-Changer!

Guitarists know the eternal struggle: chasing that perfect tone while battling tarnish, breakage, and tone fade. Enter DR Strings’ Dragon Skin+ - a line of electric, acoustic, bass, and mandolin strings engineered to shatter these limitations. Built in New Jersey with American materials, Dragon Skin+ raises the bar on playability, tone, durability, and feel.

Accurate Core Technology - Tuning and Tone Unleashed

At the heart of Dragon Skin+ is DR’s patented Accurate Core Technology™ (US patent #11948540). Core strings are precision-machined with grooves that cradle the wrap wire, yielding:

• Extra tuning stability – No more mid-show pitch drift.

• Rich, full-bodied tone – Each note rings clear and even across the fretboard 

It’s more than marketing jargon—it’s felt the moment you dive into a riff or strum.

Micro-Thin Coating - Longevity Without Comprimise

Traditional coated strings often kill harmonics or feel lifeless. Dragon Skin+ uses a ultra-thin polymer coating (patent #8487168) that:

• Shields against sweat, oils, and grime.

• Preserves brightness and projection comparable (or better) than uncoated strings.

• Extends lifespan dramatically—without “coated” tone compromises 

Guitarists love the clarity and clean sustain, even after weeks—or months—of heavy playing.

Versitility for Every Player

Dragon Skin+ isn’t a one-trick pony. The series covers:

• Electric – Quantum Nickel for warmth and high output.

• Acoustic – 80/20 Bronze and Phosphor Bronze blends, chosen by brands like Guild, Faith, and Ovation 

• Bass & Mandolin – Available in stainless steel, Quantum Nickel, and phosphor bronze options.

• Multi‑scale bass strings, even eight‑string and six‑string bass sets.

No matter your genre or instrument, there’s a Dragon Skin+ set tuned for optimal tone and feel.

Tone that Breaks the Mold

Heading into the studio? Live on stage? Dragon Skin+ delivers:

• "Huge" projection and high output—your amp will thank you.

• Warm, chime-like tone—ideal for blues, rock, folk, or metal.

• Consistent feel and tension—perfect for bending, vibrato, and technical playing .

It’s this natural, powerful sonic character that makes them a top pick for artists like Jared James Nichols and even factory strings in Guild acoustics.

Handcrafted in the USA

DR’s strings aren’t mass‑produced overseas—they’re handmade in Westwood, New Jersey, by a small team focusing on craftsmanship and quality control. That personal touch ensures every set notes sensation, tone clarity, and reliable performance.
