Description
DR’s VERITAS line reimagines what an uncoated acoustic string can do. Wound in phosphor bronze over a hexagonal core, each string benefits from Accurate Core Technology (ACT), a process that reinforces the core wire and smooths out imperfections along its length. The result, according to DR, is a string that holds pitch better and lasts noticeably longer than standard acoustic sets.
Concert artist and educator Stefan Grossman has put VERITAS through years of real-world touring use, reporting he can play through four full concerts on a single set versus one with conventional strings. Other players, including Carl Verheyen, Melissa Etheridge, and Happy Traum, have praised the tone, resonance, and surprising durability for a string with no coating.
ACT technology first appeared in DR’s DDT strings back in 2010, where it proved especially useful for players who drop-tune or use alternate tunings and need strings that settle back into pitch quickly. VERITAS brings that same core-wire foundation to phosphor bronze acoustic strings, aiming for rich, warm tone paired with real longevity.
This is the VTA-10 Extra Light set, gauged:
- E: .010
- B: .014
- G: .022
- D: .030
- A: .038
- E: .048
A solid pick for players who want a lighter feel on the fingers without sacrificing tone or string life.
