Description
The DR BKE-9/46 set brings DR’s K3 coating technology to a Lite-Heavy gauge configuration (9, 11, 16, 26, 36, 46), pairing coated nickel wrap wire with a hex core for stability and bite.
What sets K3 apart from typical coated strings is how little it asks you to compromise. DR developed this proprietary, patent-pending process specifically to close the tone gap that coated strings usually create. Guitarists who’ve played them report volume that holds up, overtones that stay controlled rather than muddy, and a clarity and note definition that stands toe-to-toe with bare, uncoated sets.
You still get everything coated strings are supposed to deliver: a barrier against sweat, oils, and corrosion that extends playing life and keeps strings sounding fresh longer between changes. The difference is you’re not trading that longevity for a duller, more muted voice – the K3-treated Black Beauties are engineered to sound like they were never coated at all.
Key details:
- Gauges: 9, 11, 16, 26, 36, 46 (Lite-Heavy)
- Coated nickel wrap wire over hex core construction
- DR’s proprietary K3 black coating for corrosion and sweat resistance
- Designed to preserve uncoated-string tone, volume, and articulation
A solid pick for players who want the protection of a coated string without giving up the responsiveness they’re used to from bare wire sets.
