Finally!

I was looking long time for those strings, Yeah you can get those at most of the stores, but the minimum price you pay for those is 20 Euro for my experience...

These strings are just what I always wanted in my guitar, smooth feeling on the fretboard, less noise when rapidly changing cords, I guess there's a reason why they are for Jazz, but I am more hard rock player, and they're just fine!

Kickass price, I would recommend everybody to at least try these strings once in her/his life.

fantastic

lite, long life, unwound G which allows some sneaky bends, and great balanced sound whilst being super easy to play. I got 'em on my Hagström and they play so fast!

Lovely

I'm no stranger to flats, but I'm using these for the first time and I am very impressed so far. The quality is obvious...very well made, lovely silks, etc. They seem pretty bright and "ringy" for flats (these are both compliments). These are the only strings I've ever used that didn't need to be stretched...they tuned to pitch easily, and just stay there. I came back two days later, and they were only slightly flat. I also went from 11's (roundwound) to 11's, and didn't have to change a thing setup-wise, even the intonation was right on. Very impressive. They are fresh at the moment, but I expect that they will last forever. I will update my review if I am disappointed. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it. Flats don't need to be changed very often, so these are a worthwhile splurge!

High quality flatwound strings

These are the first flatwound strings I've tried, and I can immediately tell that I won't be putting other types of strings on the semi-acoustic again. Not only do they look and feel better, but I also prefer the mellow tone they provide. Since they are the only flatwound strings I've used, I can't really make proper comparisons to other similar strings, but they seem well made and have lasted a long time in use, and as such I don't hesitate to give them my full recommendation.

Great strings

Great strings. I use them not only in my jazz guitar but also in a Les Paul with a Seymourn Duncan Jazz pickup.

my favorite strings

I play jazz, I use these strings on my guitar ES style not a gibson guitar. these are my favorite strings. The tone is a bit closed, but for my style i like it. I have the tone knob on my guitar 100% open and only using the neck pickup, I can have a very beautiful jazz sound.

When I need a little more power, I use the bridge pickup and the sound opens easily.

the strings can not stand long, but if we take care, look good.

Great lower mids tones - balanced.

tones the highs are not too aggressive.

My personal Jazz Strings

I bought these Strings for my acoustic archtop Jazz guitar. They´re sounding smooth and do feel lighter than roundwound strings of the same diameter. The Price maybe seems to be a bit to high but all in all it´s worth it. :)
