Description
Dunlop’s Heavy Core Nickel Wound set (11-50) is engineered around a deliberately adjusted core-to-wrap wire ratio, not just a thicker gauge. That means players who tune below standard get the string tension and low-end clarity needed to keep chords tight and notes defined, without the flabby response that plain heavy-gauge strings can develop when detuned.
The nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers the warm, rounded tone and smooth feel that nickel wound sets are known for, while the reinforced core structure underneath helps the strings resist the pitch instability and dull thud that can creep in on lower tunings. It’s a construction approach aimed squarely at guitarists who regularly drop their tuning but still want articulate attack and sustain.
- Gauge set: .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .050
- Nickel wound construction for classic warmth and smooth playability
- Heavy Core design balances core-to-wrap ratio for improved tension in low tunings
- Well suited to drop tunings and down-tuned rhythm or lead work
- Compatible with standard electric guitar setups
Whether you’re switching between standard and drop D, or living permanently in a lower tuning, this set is built to hold its focus and feel consistent string to string.
