  ■DR / A discount set of DR colorful strings
  
  We are running a special DR string campaign for September only! The colorful "NEON Series" strings now become set with the popular "TITE-FIT Series Guitar Strings" and "HI-BEAM Series Bass Strings." The NEON series is a nickel-coated string that emits light when hit by light. It has more sound volume than non-coated strings, but the clear sound with fewer unnecessary overtones is attractive. The "TITE-FIT series" and "HI-BEAM series" are standard DR models that professionals love. Using this campaign, you can save 25% or more from the regular price. Recommended not only for those who want to try colored strings but also for those who want to compare coated and non-coated strings. The campaign will end as soon as the stock runs out.
