Chrome flatwound strings

RichH 14.05.2020

A useful alternative flatwound jazz string set.

The TI flatwounds are great, but these are a bit smoother in feel. The wound strings are a shinier finish and last really well. I had a set on an Ibanez guitar for years that seemed as good as new despite heavy playing.

One other differnence from TI brand strings, is that that the wrappings are less thick, so you can more easily feed though tuning slots.

Summary: great jazz strings, very long lasting based on the set I had previously on my Ibanez AFJ95 guitar

Uneven tension, dull tone

Algirdas 21.05.2013

These are very high quality strings, for sure, and the corrosion-resistant packaging is an added bonus. I wish all manufacturers used similar packaging. Unfortunately, however, the tension feels very uneven between the strings, and they make your guitar sound really dull, like someone put a blanket over the amplifier. If stereotypically lifeless old-school jazz tone is what you're after, you might enjoy these strings. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend trying Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds instead. They have a more even tension and the bottom strings are thinner to match the tone of the unwound strings better. They are less 'boomy' and cut through the mix better than the Daddarios.

Excellent quality.

I find this one of the best string for my jazz guitar, bright sound and nice feel.
