The DR Strings Pure Blues are a premium choice for players seeking an authentic blues tone.

Round Core Construction for Fat, Resonant Tone

The Pure Blues strings get their distinctive tone from round core construction. Round cores produce a flexible, resonant string with full lows, warm mids, and sweet highs. The round cores also enhance sustain, allowing notes to sing on endlessly. Combined with nickel-plated steel wrap wire, the round cores generate a tone reminiscent of vintage blues guitars from the 1950s and ’60s.

Pure Nickel Wrap Wire for Punch and Clarity

DR Strings wraps the Pure Blues in pure nickel wire, which provides clarity and articulation. The nickel wrap enhances note definition across the frequency range while boosting presence. As a result, chords sound full and complex, while single notes cut through the mix with ease. The nickel wire also gives the strings a smooth, fast feel that facilitates expressive playing.

Heavy Gage for Thick, Meaty Tone

With gauges ranging from 11 to 50, the PHR11 Pure Blues strings have a thick, robust voice perfect for hard-hitting blues. The heavy bottom end lays down a solid rhythmic foundation, while the thick midrange helps leads and solos punch through. For guitarists seeking a bold, meaty tone, the PHR11 gauge is ideal.
