GUITAR STRINGS: I Bet You Didn't Know This | DR Round Core Strings | Guitar Tweakz

#guitar #drstrings
I have the feeling this is still under the radar and a lot of guitar players don't really think of it. I'm talking about the core wire of the wound strings. Round core is old school, hex core is more modern. But what does that even mean for us guitar players? What is the difference? I was pretty surprised to see which one I liked more...
