Gold Flatwound 011-048 : Worth it for those pursuing a vintage sound
3 years ago
Got these as an experiment to stick on an Epiphone Sheraton. They definitely added to the guitar for me. The bass EAD strings were not as dull as some warn. I found a nice liveliness and brightness in the treble GBE strings. They also were a little tighter, which I liked as it offers more 'control'. A little more expensive than the ubiquitous wound strings yes but worth pursuing for those seeking a vintage sound for things like jazz or 60s Beatles stuff. As a tiny aesthetic bonus, the ball end sides are wound with a nice orange thread wrap which suits my sunburst Sherry nicely.
