just excellent

put it in my jazzbox and even after 3 years it still sounds good (dry climate helps).

The best jazz strings!

I avoided playing gauge 13 strings for a long time since the ones I've tried were really difficult to control and took lot of muscle strength to get the right nice sound I was looking for (and off course the playing speed suffered ...).

JS113 feel like 11s - very easy to play! They feel smooth and the sound is just right - I can play effortlessly jazz and a very demanding fast and ornamented Bulgarian folk melodies with these strings!

Highly recommended!

Perfect sound

Contrary to how heavy wound strings play on an acoustic, they're actually quite light! They also sound amazing.

Use them on your Strat

I use these strings on my Strat and it sounds awesome. That jazzy sound comes almost natural without the hollow body, especially in low tones. The lows are definitely dominant compared to the highs and you might tweak your pickup or eq to get what you want.

Excellent value for the price and great tone

These were replacing my D addario chromes, I wanted flatwounds with more treble character and clearer overtones, particularly for Jazz and Blues, but also some more versatile Rock/Metal setup.

These do Jazz and Blues really well if you want the flatwound tone.

Other genres can be managed depending on your setup.

The only improvement I may think of , is that the tension balance across strings is not balanced. But this depends on your tuning and your guitar setup, so this will vary person to person.

They sound and feel great, however the high E and B strings corrode much faster than the rest as they are not wound.

Cool strings!

I bought these strings a while back, and they're still rocking. I didn't think they'd be this good since it's a brand I never tried before. 10/10 would recommand someone to buy these as well!

Thick strings for thick sound

I bought these strings online and intended to try strings with thick dimension. I must say it is a bit hard to play, because of the thick strings. one has to adapt first to the strings, but the sound is really jazzy and the quality is superb.

i also personally like the inside and the packaging of the product.

If you guys are looking for strings with deep jazzy thick sounds, this is the product you are looking for
