CF128 Chrome Steel Flatwound : 100% suits my purpose

11 years ago

I play a custom built triple-neck guitar which one of the necks is a fretless and I was looking for an untraditional sound for it for quite a while. I needed the sound to be a bit closer to that of lute or even an Oud and these strings fulfil the purpose, though they could be more resonant or louder which to my ear is the only downside of it. other reason they don't produce a traditional classical/flamenco sound (and they're not meant to be) is that since they're flat-wound, they don't make that typical scratch noise while you slide your finger over the string. if you're looking for an untraditional/atypical sound to add to you acoustic guitar, this is the way to go. they 100% suit my purpose
