Product Description

The RARE?  phosphor bronze acoustic strings are a departure from the standard bronze string currently available... possessing a new, different, and stronger "voice". When DR set out to produce a string with new characteristics, the goal was to redesign contemporary thinking about what phosphor bronze can do for a good acoustic guitar. Hand-carved arch-tops and dreadnaughts and good steel string acoustic guitars of rosewood, maple, and mahogany seem to benefit from a distinct improvement in tone, depth, and sustain with RARE?  phosphor strings. Players who want a fatter, louder sound, a deeper bottom... (who like to hear their guitars ring out..) will appreciate the RARE?  phosphor tone, sound, and feel. Gauges: .011; .015; .022; .030; .040; .050

I have been using these strings for about 12 years. They sound good as soon as I am done putting them on. Very little buzzing. Some strings take a day or so to "settle down". That is what I like about the DR's. They sound good from the start and have an above average lifespan. Best all around string I have found.

I am not the best at guitar playing but these strings sound great and they feel great as you are playing. I would advise anyone to give them a try if they are looking for something new.

I have been faithfully using DR strings now for as many as 10 plus years. I play professionally and need strings that hold up stay in tune and have a true sound. The biggest part I love about them is they are rare to break. In fact over the years using them I can bearly recall maybe 1 time I broke an high E.
I joined established rock band playing every weekend 3 YEARS AGO. The lead guitar player left and I was the new guy. I have always carried 1 guitar with me my whole professional life (Now age 50) my 1977 ( I bought new)Les Paul custom deluxe was all I ever used or needed I never had a backup. The guys were all concearned what if during a set I broke a string. When I told them its rare to never I break a string. Years ago I stwiched to DR stings 10 ga sets and now have that much confidence in them. They though I was crazy but after a few months of playing out with them they realized I was right. I tried all the different type 10 ga DR strings and they all hold up the same. I ususally change all strings out when working every weekend about every 6 weeks.I also use the DR green Bronze 11 ga acoustic on my Taylor and they are the same quailty I have confidence in. I just bought the new Zebra DRs for to try. Well worth the cost and piece of mind. Get a set youll see.
