The Original

Tite-Fit round-wound nickel-plated electric guitar strings are designed to be a great all-around string. They are available in a wide range of gauges. Based upon a round core, the construction techniques for the Tite-Fit electrics are very old. However, the core wire and wrap wire in DRs are the latest, most advanced and expensive metals available.

For flexibility, for tone, for long life: for Rock, Blues, Metal or Jazz. Tite-Fits are a wonderful all-around string.

I started with D’Addario nickel wound 10 gauge strings 27 years ago, within a couple years I switched to Ernie Ball 10 gauge slinky and used them for 20 years. Then I decided to try 9 gauge slinky, and loved the fact the 9’s were less finger fatigue, but hated the buzzy ness. So I went crazy and bought 5 different brand packs of highly rated nickel plated 9’s. DR tight fit was my favorite. DR have a higher tension to them then most other 9’s , don’t buzz, last twice as long as Ernie Ball, and they play and sound fantastic! I found out also that round core nickel strings don’t cause as much fret damage. I really like that the DR tight fit’s don’t take forever to stretch, and stays in tune! They are a hair stiffer then the other brands. About the only thing can say bad about the DR’s is there is some inconsistencies do to being hand made, mainly I have to do slight adjustments to intonation when I re-string vs Ernie Ball or D’addario. Still DR is my favorite for the last 7-8 years, never had one fail.

They don't work on violins

Dad's was a church musician and likes these strings for some reason. To be honest, I have no idea how they even go on the guitar but he seems to have it figured out. I tried to cut them and use them for violin strings but that didn't seem to work out. Got rid of that violin after how expensive violin strings were and I kept breaking them. Tried to use other things. Nothing worked. So, get them for guitars, not violins.

Exceptional guitar strings

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015

These strings are great, especially considering the cost.

I purchased a pack at the recommendation of my uncle, who services the owner of DR Strings' personal vehicles in New Jersey. I am glad that I did!

They're about the same price as D'Addarios strings of the same gauge and they last just as long, but they sound only slightly different once broken in, and that sound would be enough to merit purchasing more strings in the future. These are a bit mellower, but have more mids than your average pack of D'Addarios, in my opinion.

I've used a few packs on my guitars at present, trying them all in various tunings and such, and they are consistent in their strength and tone.

I'd definitely buy these again, they are cheap, high quality hand-made strings for electric guitar, and they offer great value.

I'd really love a multi-pack, though, like D'Addarios does.

I was surprised by the quality of a brand I’d never heard of, but the 9’s I ordered are on par with Ernie ball and sounds as good if not slightly better.

Very well made, no kinks or lumps.

Great strings.

I have been using DR strings for over 15 years, and wont use any other strings. They are made with very high quality materials and last a really long time. Try them you you may never go back to your old strings.

Great All-Around String

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

All I've used for a few years now after trying virtually everything else. I play mostly Hair Metal on a Jackson MIJ Dinky I've had for a long time. They sound great for the 80s stuff and the newer stuff as well (Raven 50 watt combo/Digitech Guitar multi-effect pedal). I'm a weekender who enjoys playing but never have been serious about it. DR string stay in tune, stay bright and crisp, crunchy when they need to be. My teenaged son plays super-heavy stuff in funky tunings on his Schecter Hellraiser w/EMGs through a Line 6 Modelling Amp (Godsmack, FFDP, We Butter the Bread with Butter--yeah, that's what I said) in 10ga. and they sound as menacing the recordings.
