About this product
Overview & specifications
The DR Dragon Skin 12-String 10-48 is DR's coated phosphor bronze set for twelve-string acoustics, handmade in the USA. A twelve-string takes twice the strings and twice the time to restring, so a set that stays bright for longer earns its keep fast, and that is exactly what the K3 clear coating is for. Online only special: this price is for orders placed through guitar.com.au.
A light 12-string set that lasts
The DSA-10/12 is a light set built for easy playing on a twelve: .010/.010 and .014/.014 on the unison courses, then .024 with a .009 octave, .030/.012, .039/.018 and .048 with a .028 octave on the low E. Lighter gauges keep the total pull on the neck and bridge in check, and keep chords comfortable under the fretting hand, which matters more on a twelve than anywhere else. Phosphor bronze wrap gives the full, warm shimmer people buy a twelve-string for.
K3 coating, still bright
DR's K3 is a hard, micro-thin clear coat rather than a soft polymer sleeve, so it protects the strings without muffling them or making them feel slick. It keeps sweat and grime away from the windings and the hex core beneath, which is what turns a set dull and gritty, and because it is clear, the strings look like ordinary phosphor bronze on the fretboard.
