Korn’s Head and Munky helped kick off the alternative metal movement with 7-string guitars and aggressive downtuned grooves. Searching for a way to evolve that sound and fully unlock the true potential of their instruments, they came to Dunlop. We worked closely with both players to build a set of strings around Heavy Core technology for increased dynamic range, optimal tension when drop-tuned, and incredible tuning stability. This is that set of strings—carefully tailored to the tonal and tactile dynamics of 7-string guitars. It’s the sound and feel that Head and Munky depend on whether they’re cutting tracks in the studio or throwing it down on stage.

As the title suggests, along with the indication on the box these strings start extremely thick, almost like a bass string and get nice and thin at the top for some ripping leads! They sound extremely punchy and respond well to pinches and natural harmonics. I Put them on a Cheap 7 string and the strings brought it to life. Really tight, chuggy and fast. highly reccommend

The low string on 7 string guitars will rattle if you don't get a heavy gauge. This was exactly what I was wanting. The low string booms and is just what I was hoping for.

Way back in the 80's I thought the lighter the strings, the easier it was to play the guitar for rock and metal. I upgraded to some 7 string guitars in the past several years and still thought the lightest strings were the way to go. I got these, because something about the technique I was using, just didn't give me the speed I wanted. The strings needed to be stiffer. A whole lot stiffer. I first did a 6 string with some rather heavy strings and it was like a lightbulb of skill just kicked off. So I got a set of these for my 7 string drop A and I swear I can hear angels singing. Triplet note gallops used to be difficult to lock in and now that difficulty isn't there. There's a bit less muddiness in the lower notes and a lot more precision. I am definitely getting another set or two as this set is just excellent. I like how it responds to speed picking and how quickly the firmer strings respond. It's like the different between walking on sand or walking on concrete.Let's be honest, you have a 7 string because of metal, which means you need strings that respond fast to picking. This set is a good place to start.

Kann mich den Rezensionen nur anschließen. Saiten sind sehr hochwertig, kommt auf jede meiner 7-Saiter.

I got a Solar 1.7PB and wanted it to be shreddy but tuned down a step. It has the Evertune bridge so I kind of gambled on the tensions, but their calculator shows even at standard tension strings this gauge set is OK with standard modules. So I put these on and hoped for the best.After setting it up in D standard with the 065 drop G I can report it plays gloriously. They feel like 9s for the most part, but the solar is 26.5" scale.I've been playing them hours a day for a couple weeks and they seem to be going strong. I read a couple reviews where people said they went flat fast, but I haven't seen any indication of that. Maybe they just need to wash their hands more?Either way these strings are great, and though I don't care about the Korn branding, the gauge and heavy core is perfect for shred setups down a step on 26.5" scale. In case you were wondering..

I gave up on Korn as a band at least a decade ago but I love the feel and sound of these strings.My last set of strings made me regret buying a seven string, the Korn set motivated to play more.Yes, you need a 7 string. Yes, you want these strings.

I have probably have tried every single string company you can possibly name or imagine seeking tone for death metal, specifically drop A on a six string guitar with a hardtail bridge and non-active pickups.Ive also tried their Slipknot version both types, the Trivium version, the non-artist series heavy cores; all sorts of Dunlop string options and this hands down, is the best sounding string set they sell to date for metal.I just drop the high E string off and play the .65 to .13 sizes.They last forever, they hold great tone, I have low end, I have high-end, I absolutely love the response and feel of these strings. I will probably never put any other strings on my guitar ever. Best Bang for buck and I will die on that hill 😤

I always keep my 7 string in Standard E and the low string tuned to A, and it's perfect for that. It was kinda weird to have the top strings tuned a note below E, but with some set up it can do that
