DR Strings HI-DEF NEON™ - MULTI-COLOUR Coloured Electric Guitar Strings: Light 9-42

Product Information

Fender Strings are probably the second most common string brand that color codes the ball ends of their strings. Not every guitarist learns all of the notes on a guitar fretboard. There are plenty of players who get by with just a basic knowledge of the notes on the bottom E and A strings (useful for knowing where to play barre chords) and not a lot else.

As far as D’Addario guitar strings go, however, there is a consistent color pattern to help you identify each string.

Does colored string sound different? If so, why? Guitar players have noticed that nylon guitar strings that are slightly different from one another sound different. When we talk about guitars, we should refer to them as acoustic or electric. Can acoustic guitar be played with electric guitar? The answer is that yes, but not necessarily that you should do so. Electric guitar strings have 36% less tension than acoustic guitar strings. Let’s be honest, whilst we love strings, changing them isn’t our favourite job in the world so for those players, coated strings are a really good option. Their extended life means you won’t need to change them quite so often. Since doing away with individual envelopes, Dunlop has also started using a color code system for their strings. They only use three colors, however, alternating between them. ON A RELATED NOTE: Looking to buy a new set of quality guitar strings? We can help with that. A Brief History of the Guitar It’s actually for this very reason that some brands like DR’s Veritas strings insist on coating the central core of the wound strings too. At first you may think, what’s the point of doing this? The central core isn’t exposed to your fingers or the atmosphere?Each diagram shows the notes of an individual string. After the twelfth fret the notes simply repeat along each string an octave higher.
