DR Strings 10-46 PHR-10 Pure Blues™ Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings

DR Strings PHR-10 Pure Blues™ Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings – The Soul of Vintage American Tone

Experience the unmistakable tone and feel of classic American rock and blues with DR Strings PHR-10 Pure Blues™. Constructed with a pure nickel wrap wire on a round core using a slow, expensive process, these strings deliver a distinctive warm, balanced sound with rich overtones and a pure vintage vibe. Chords ring out sweet and round, while leads have more punchiness and sustain.

The Perfect Medium Gauge for Versatile Playability

The 10-46 Medium gauge offers the ideal balance of playability and punch. With gauges .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, and .046, this set delivers enough tension for tight, punchy rhythm work while remaining comfortable for expressive bends and fluid vibrato. It's the go-to choice for players who want a versatile, everyday string that performs across all styles—from blues and classic rock to jazz and beyond.

Vintage Construction for Authentic Tone

The round core construction ensures 100% contact with the wrap wire, creating a dense and distinctly vintage tone with increased sustain. This is the same construction that defined the legendary strings of the '60s and '70s, evoking the era's soulful harmonics and balanced character. Players praise their warm, clear tone with no harshness, thinness, or muddiness. They stretch right to pitch and stay there, and sound great on any guitar.

Superior Feel and Reliability

These strings feel smooth and playable with a remarkably responsive touch. They are notably durable, take a lot of abuse, and rarely break. The compression winding enhances tone and creates a fast, fluid feel.

• Enhanced sustain and tuning stability from locked-in wrap wire

• Punchy leads and sweet, round chords from pure nickel wrap
