DR Strings VTA-10 Veritas is a complete string set for steel-string western guitars, designed for players who prefer a light 010-048 gauge. The strings feature a coated round core wire with a phosphor bronze wrap, and are designed to retain their tone and intonation longer than traditional strings. The construction is intended to provide stability in daily use.

Coated core wire with phosphor bronze winding

The core wire in VTA-10 Veritas is round and coated with a special blend before being wound with phosphor bronze wire. The coating keeps the winding in place and protects the core against corrosion. This construction is designed to help maintain intonation and tuning over a longer period.

Light 010-048 gauge for western guitar

The 010-048 set is a light-gauge string set for steel-string western guitars. It is intended for guitarists who prefer lower string tension. The w designation on the wound strings means wound.

Installation and maintenance

When changing strings, installation can begin with the low E string and continue towards the high E string. Tune the strings with a tuner, stretch them gently and tune them again so they can settle. Wear eye protection during installation, as string ends can break or snap back.

Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after playing to remove sweat and oil. Check them regularly for wear and damage, and consider storing the guitar in a case when it is not in use.
