B

Great sound.

Bellenoir 12.04.2018

I'm playing an Ibanez AS93, mostly jazz, blues and sometimes classic rock. I decided to give these strings a go. I am pleasantly surprised with the sound. Perfect for jazz, but not too mellow as to take all the treble from your guitar, like the D'Addario chromes did, that I used before. These have a nice spank to them but are not spikey. Also, the bottom two strings are a bit lighter and have a bit less tension than .011 strings tend to, so forget about down tuning with these babies, not on a Gibson scale length anyway. Could be nice on a Telecaster, I guess. Strings are nicely packaged and have silk wound endings, which I dig.

Good but a bit expensive

Jenna 24.09.2019

I use flatwounds on both guitar and bass so I have tried most of the commonly available options. These strings have been my preferred choice on my ES175 for maybe 5 years now. I do find them better on hollow guitars... I also use flatwounds on a telecaster but Thomastiks don’t work well in that instrument. Of course, your mileage may vary... Basically, try them and if your guitar intonates well on these strings they will feel and sound great for a very long time before they die tonally. Recommended

EDIT They are the finest quality but I don't like them

Kikodasneves 12.09.2024

Everything about these strings is 5 stars. But since I sweat a lot, these get VERY grippy on my fretting hand's fingers, hindering my agility. For this reason alone I switched to D'addarios because they are much less grippy. KEEP IN MIND these are equivalent to .10 tension by the standards of most other brands. The TI 12 should bring you into .11 Elixir territory, I found these TI 11 ones too light.

Love these strings

casual musician 22.05.2021

I've been a d'addario person for 17 years until I changed to these strings last year. It's great on my semihollow. I love the mellow and clear tones it gives off

Never even thought about flats until..

Louie Louie 05.03.2021

I got a 2nd hand Epiphone Sheraton with them on.
Bloody hell. WHY have I been wasting 40 years.
Bought 6 sets of these and put them on all my guitars. Strat, Tele, Les Paul, Casino.
I wanna cry. All those years wasted. Finally, perfect intonation.
Try a set mates.

Favourite Strings!

Anonymous 03.03.2016

Great tone, feel and also last much longer than other brands I've tried (which is pretty much all of them!). It's worth mentioning that probably won't suit guys and girls out there playing pop/rock stuff but for that luxurious feel and warm yet punchy retro swing tone on hollow bodies and perhaps overly bright Tele's etc these are number one! I use for other styles too like rockabilly, Latin and slightly dirtier alternative things and they work brilliantly.
