Tuned low, played hard—Dunlop Heavy Core NPS Electric Guitar Strings are built to perform under pressure, and they’re available now at Haggerty’s Music. Engineered specifically for players who favor dropped or lowered tunings, these strings feature a proprietary core-to-wrap ratio that ensures outstanding stability and tone when tuned down. The “Heaviest” gauge set (.012–.054) provides a tight low end, punchy midrange, and smooth, articulate highs—delivering clarity and control whether you're playing clean or pushing through high-gain distortion. Proudly made in Benicia, California, these strings are ideal for modern metal, hard rock, and any genre that demands enhanced tension and aggressive tonal response.
