Built to Play: Sire Guitars Now Powered by DR Strings
At NAMM 2025, we officially partnered with DR Strings- a collaboration built on a shared goal of delivering better tone, feel, and overall performance to every player.
Why DR? Because just like us, DR is focused on constantly improving their products to give musicians top-quality gear without the heavy price tag. We both believe that you deserve excellent tone, feel, and reliability without having to spend a fortune.
What sets DR Strings apart is their craftsmanship. Their strings use round core, a traditional method that takes an extra step during production, but that step creates a more “musical” sound with warmth and depth you’ll notice right away. They’re also easier on the hands, making long sessions more comfortable for players at any level.
That’s why this partnership makes perfect sense. At Sire, we’ve always focused on creating instruments that feel good, sound great, and are easy to reach for no matter where you are on your musical journey. Now, with DR Strings, we’re able to offer even more quality and value, all while keeping things affordable for the community we care about.
What’s New?
As of this year, most of our 2025 models come factory-equipped with DR Strings, the “Dragon Skin+ Strings” including both brand-new releases and updated versions of classic favorites. When you pick up a new Sire, you’ll immediately feel the difference. DR Strings enhance clarity, touch sensitivity, and overall playability—bringing out the best in every Sire guitar and bass.
