DR Strings is a handmade guitar and bass string manufacturer based in Westwood, New Jersey. Founded in 1989 by Mark Dronge — son of Guild Guitars founder Alfred Dronge — and Dr. Benzion Rapoport, the company reintroduced hand-wound round-core string making to the broader market and continues to produce its strings by hand in the USA using American-sourced materials.

The brand's lineup spans electric, acoustic, bass, classical, and specialty instrument strings. Notable electric lines include the Pure Blues (pure nickel round-core), Tite-Fit (nickel-plated), Hi-Beam (stainless steel round-core), Legend (pure nickel flatwound), and Veritas series, while bassists often reach for the Hi-Beam, Fat-Beam, and Lo-Rider sets. DR is also known for its Neon and K3-coated color-coated strings, as well as the Dragon Skin+ coated acoustic line.

DR is frequently associated with boutique and heritage guitar makers, with factory-string partnerships including Guild, Fodera, Dean, Washburn, Cort, Ovation, and Schecter. The company markets its craft under the tagline "The Fine Art of Fine Tuning" and emphasizes that its string winders train for at least six months before working on production.

DR Strings has 92 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Strings, Strings, and Acoustic-Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 99 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Dimebag Darrell, Andra Ramadhan, and Ashley Dzerigian.
