They maintain superior tone, tuning stability and intonation thanks to our Accurate Core Technology™ which creates locking grooves for superior tone, projection and tuning stability.

All Veritas sets include both standard steel and Xenon Power-Plain™ strings, which have increased output to balance with the wound strings.
Tite-Fit™
Nickel-Plated Round Core Electric Guitar Strings
Tite-Fit™ Electric guitar strings feature a nickel-plated steel wrap wire on a round core to provide a rich and musical sound. This classical construction provides a strong fundamental with balanced over-tones. Compression winding allows us to fit more mass on a string, which we feel improves the tone, gives it a smoother feel and extends it's life. These exceptional features have made Tite-Fit the string of choice among top guitar players for over 30 years.

Hi-Beam™ Electric guitar strings feature a nickel-plated steel wrap wire on a hexagonal core wire, delivering a bright tone with great versatility that can stretch across a wide array of music genres. They're ideal for players looking for a bit more brightness without losing a solid tone. They tune up quickly without a lot of break-in and then they stay put.
Black Beauties™

Black Beauties™ colored electric guitar strings aren’t just about the sleek and sophisticated look. They feature a nickel-plated steel wrap wire on a hex core to maintain brightness and feel. All strings in the set have a jet-black version of DR’s K3™ ultra-hard coating. Players tell us these strings have longer life, more projection, greater clarity, better articulation, and fewer unwanted overtones than uncoated strings.
