DR Strings Alexi Laiho Signature
Dr Strings · string
DR Strings Alexi Laiho signature strings are a nickel-plated electric set in roughly .010-.056 gauges, chosen by the Children of Bodom guitarist for a balance of fast, fluid playability on the high strings and a tight, heavy low end for down-tuned riffing. The set supports his lightning neoclassical lead runs while keeping low-tuned rhythm parts defined and punchy. Built for durability under aggressive playing, they suit metal and shred players who tune down a step and want both expressive bends and a solid, articulate bottom end. They lean toward a bright, lively attack typical of fresh nickel strings.
