Your fingers will thank you.

Well, I don't play jazz... These strings are much more comfortable to play than regular ones and they sound good. Especially good for beginners, when you don't have those calluses at the tip of your fingers. Less pain equals more practice, and that's how you get better.

The Best

Best flat wound strings for archtops, but I also use the 11s on a Telecaster

Nice feel

Very nice feeling strings, I use them on my hollow body electric guitar. They produce a dark warm tone with my guitar played on the neck pickup.

not just for jazz

I use these strings on an old single-P90 Gibson that was a student model in its day. These days it's my go-to guitar if I have a solo gig, more versatile than any acoustic I have. With these strings on it, I can play blues, rock, and folk as well as jazz standards.

Feels like an Apple product

Really clean, really well made, feels really nice and sounds really good. I've been using these on and off for years, I usually put whatever find for cheaper on my guitar but this is one of my favorite sets. Unlike D'addario's these are very well balanced strings so it feels nice and comfortable on each string.

good strings

good strings be careful putting them on they can be awkward compared to standard round wound. Also be careful if you use locking tuners it may be worth getting at least one wrap around with lockers they can slip otherwise due to the flat winds being slippery.

The Go-to flat wounds

Not the cheapest but superb & relatively low-tension

The perfect guitar strings.

For as long as I can remember, I've always hated changing the strings on my guitar because of the harsh brightness and overwhelming overtones that new round wound strings have. So, every time I'd change the strings, I'd play through the pain until they got to the sweet spot where all the harshness and overtones would fade, then I would try to keep my strings there by cleaning them up until they'd go dull or I'd finally break one and start all over again.

Then I discovered these beauties. It's like having my strings in the sweet spot constantly, no need to ever change them, they've been on my Schecter Hellraiser for 4 years and I can't hear or feel a difference.

They feel incredible and sound just right to my ears. I found them very versatile no matter what I play, they always are very articulate, even with heavy distortion. Funk, rock, metal, everything sounds great. Sure the EMGs in the Schecter are part of the equation but after years of Fenders, Ernie Balls and D'addarios, I can tell for sure that these beauties are perfect.

I just love them!

Not enough magnetic mass in the core of 5th and 6th string

I love these strings, but they come along with some disappointment.

While high strings are fine, the low ones, especially 6th an 5th come with magnetic steel core too thin, and that makes bass tone rather weak. This is a trade-off you have to be aware of. Otherwise, fantastic strings.

Super product

I am a professional musician and need strings with great sound, are long lasting and stay in tune. Absolutely worth the extra few pennies.
