Daddario ECG25

Great sound and a light flatwound

Great Tone

Bought these strings to replace the ones that were originally in a vintage Japanese ES 175 copy that i bought some years ago. I expect the same results: a great vintage Jazz tone.

Pros: D'Addario strings traditional quality

Cons: None

Great character strings.

Great choice if you want to add character to your electric guitar

Beautiful

These flatwound 12 gauge strings are very full sounding. I don't find them too heavy as I am still able to bend them (I normally play bass). On my 50s Vintera Telecaster they perfectly balance out the twangy sound. Regular strings sounded too shrill to my ear.

One of best strings for the money

Great strings!

I have been using them for over two months. I like them so far and have no issues at all. I have bought another set for future use.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because 6th's string sound is too high, maybe my pickup needs to be adjusted. But over all, it's really good and pleasing to ears.

Great sound ... but ...

Smooth and mellow yet bright enough to add some top end sparkle, these string sound great ... but the D string broke winding it on!

Flatwound strings for you electric

These strings are by far the most consistent flatwounds I have found. The strings deliver a really warm and balanced tone without the muddiness some flatwounds have. I use these on a 17" jazzbox and the do the job really well. The top strings are clear and pristine while the bottom strings deliver a full and round sound easy to play chords with. With some of the flatwounds i find the bass side a bit mushy when playing chords with your thumb but these strings seem to articulate pretty well. The quality of the flatwound if superb and I find these strings to fit my playing style really well.

Great strings

Never had any problems with these strings. In fact never had any problem with strings from D'Addario ever. These are flat wound strings and they deliver what they're suppose to.

Great flat-wounds

I used these for years on full-body jazz guitars and semi's. I always found them absolutely reliable and well-made. I often changed the top two strings for something (even) heavier though. If you want the mellow jazz sound, without the edge of round-wounds, these are probably the most cost-effective option. I'm not sure how they'd sound with a light or medium pick though (I always use heavy 2mm picks). If you're a hammer and pull shredder, or a full-time bender, you'll probably find them too heavy. I've recently switched to TI Jazz Swing - although they're more expensive - due to their feel and tension. These things are very personal though and choice depends on so many things: how you play; your guitar; pick; the sound you like, etc. I'm afraid there's no alternative really to trying different string-sets yourself. If you're into flats, you should certainly test these out. But check the weight first - Chromes come in a good variety of weights. And, if you like these for say, EADG, but want something heavier for BE, d'Addario make singles, which greatly increases flexibility.
