DR Strings Pure Blues PHR-10
Overview
DR Strings Pure Blues PHR-10 are handmade electric guitar strings wound on a round core wire that deliver a vintage, warm tone with enhanced flexibility and a distinctly different playing feel compared to conventional hex-core strings. The round core construction is the original string winding method used before the industry standardized on hexagonal cores in the 1960s, and it produces a string with more overtone complexity, warmer fundamental tone, and a softer, more elastic feel under the fingers. The pure nickel wrap wire reinforces the vintage character, providing a smooth, warm tone with rolled-off highs and rich midrange harmonics that evoke the sound of classic blues, jazz, and early rock recordings. Every set of DR strings is handmade at their factory in New Jersey using a slow, precise winding process that allows the wire to settle naturally around the core without the internal stress created by high-speed machine winding, resulting in strings that tune up faster, stay in tune more reliably, and produce a more lively, resonant tone. The .010-.046 gauge set provides comfortable playing tension that is well suited to expressive bending and vibrato techniques central to blues and classic rock performance. DR Pure Blues are ideal for blues guitarists, jazz players, and tone enthusiasts who appreciate the warmth and complexity of vintage-style string construction. The pure nickel wrap produces lower output than nickel-plated steel, which may require pickup height adjustments, and the round core construction requires careful installation to prevent the wrap wire from loosening at the tuning posts.
