    DR Strings.
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2013*

I bought these for my '53 Gibson. They are great. I use the 11's on my Strat and Tele. The round core seems more solid and acually feels better ... to me . At 69 I have tried them all .. strings. I read D Trucks used the ... I figure he is not dumb ... so I tried them. 2 chords ..3 nots ...oh yeah these work. If you need a solid sound ..fat and clean...try a set of 11's. I often swap the 12 on the heavier set to 13 ...jazz.

    Ideal for arch top guitars
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2016*

Round-core pure nickel strings sound fantastic on a carved arch top guitar.  They offer much warmer tone than nickel wound, and have a softer feel under your fingers than hex-core pure nickel strings. I'd been using a more famous brand of pure nickel strings which are hex core, and thought I'd try the DR round core with a wound G string.  I'm glad I did. If you're tired of dull-sounding flat wounds or overly bright nickel round wounds, and want a string that captures the full tone of your guitar, you should try the DR pure nickel 12's. Nice price, too.

    Sound awesome on a vintage parlor guitar!
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013*

I purchased these strings because they are nickel round cores which (from what I've been able to find out) is the exact makeup of strings that were available in the 20's & 30's.  Since I have a couple of parlor guitars from that period I decided I'd like to hear them with period strings!  These are my new favorite strings!  Not only do they sound great but they are also very nice on the fingers (prob. due to the round core).  I only wish that they made these in a 13 gauge!
