JS111 : Fabulous Strings

I bought these strings to replace my usual Elixir nano web electric guitar strings for my Godin LGX electric guitar. I bought them because I remembered how smooth flat wound strings are and decided I wanted to try them again, and because I wanted that beautifully dull thud from my bass E that those classic jazz guitarists get.

They did not disappoint! These strings are beautiful. They are very smooth, so none of your screeching and squeaking while moving chord shapes up and down the neck. The tones are beautiful and the bass is particularly incredible. There's a bit more tension to them than say, the Elixirs, but these strings are designed for a particular style of music and tone reproduction, so it's not exactly Dave Guilmour-style string bends one would be attempting to execute here. Not for rock 'n' rollers, that's for sure. For those into a nice bit of subtle, chord melody style guitar I couldn't recommend these strings highly enough! Very smooth indeed...
