Let's the midst and highs cut through. Great sustain. Take lots of abuse from the Floyd, and still hold tune. Last a while as well. Highly recommend for low tunings. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dunlop DHCN1048 Heavy Core 10-48 Electric Guitar Strings - D'Addario Lemon Oil - Guitar Fretboard Oil - Guitar Accessories - Removes Dirt, Grease, Build Up from Instrument - Conditions to Resist Dryness - Extends Fretboard Life - Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 9-42 Gauge --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/346258483-dunlop-dhcn1048-heavy-core-10-48-electric-guitar-strings](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/346258483-dunlop-dhcn1048-heavy-core-10-48-electric-guitar-strings) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
