D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Chromes Electric Guitar Strings - Flat Wound - Polished for Ultra-Smooth Feel and Warm, Mellow Tone - ECG24 - Jazz Light, 11-50, 1-Pack

Good stuff. Would buy again.

These are fantastic strings they give my strat a nice mellow sound.

Me gustaron. Es mi primer set de flat wound. Si se sienten diferente, y están algo pesadas. Yo lo que hice fue un ajuste, combine algunas de estas cuerdas con las de otro set de rounds. La tercera la sustituí por una de otro set round wound de un calibre similar y use la tercera de este set como mi cuarta cuerda. Por lo que no use la E mas grande.Estoy contento con el resultado. Utiles y resistentes, buen sonido. Llevo ya casi un año tocando con estas y he podido sacar buenos sonidos. Lo único que comentaría es que es difícil sacar bends de tres semitonos. Recomiendo, recuerden reajustar sus guitarras (truss rod, acción, entonación). :)

In the past two years, I've changed everything about my guitar playing. My primary guitar (short scale Jagmaster to long scale Jazzmaster), my amps (from Fender modelling amp to Jazz Chorus + Marshall combo), my pedals (basically none to a large board with a dozen of them), and my strings (from lights, as low as 7s at times, to 10s, also changed brands). Now, I believe the evolution of my guitar preferences has finally completed, with the last change, back to D'Addario brand strings, and specifically to the Chromes flatwound strings. Anyone with a Jazzmaster knows that the pickups are pretty generous with the high end. Before getting my first one, I never touched a tone knob before. Now I find myself needing to use it so my ears don't get stabbed to death. However, these strings really mellow that quite a bit, to the point where I could probably leave my tone knob at max and just adjust my pedals or amp settings, ever so slightly. On top of the more mellow sound compared to rounds, these feel great on the fingers. At first I wasn't sure, but a few days in and I'm finding it hard to pick up any of my other guitars because of the relative roughness. I did try D'Addario Half-Rounds as well, but they feel even worse to me than round-wound; they almost have a gritty, nail file type feeling to them. So, as quickly as the half-rounds went on to my cheapest Jazzmaster, I think they will be coming off and flats will go on. I primarily play heavy metal, and I think these sound good, but it'll depend what sound you're going after. Maybe you want the string noise and a bit more harmonic content rather than fundamental note, so you should stick to round wounds. But these are worth trying at least once, I think. Yeah, they cost more, but I've heard they last a lot longer. I haven't had them long enough to vouch for that. But I really love how they feel so I'm sure I'll find out in due time. Only question remaining is, what do I do with these 5 packs of Ernie Ball Slinkys that I've got sitting here unopened?

I’ve been a huge fan of elixir brand stings ever since I got my acoustic Taylor’s and then switched to elixirs on all my electrics. It’s been 3 weeks of using these flat wound strings and love it. The feel is easy, It’s become comfortable playing extended chords. And fingers crossed it lasts as long as my elixir’s and since their flat wound start sounding better & better as the months' pass.

Ich habe bisher auf meiner Harley Benton Vintage Telecaster, zuerst mit den Saiten im Auslieferungszustand und dann Erny Ball Saiten verwendet. Ich habe mich für diese hochpreisigen Flatwound Saiten, weil ich das Rutschgeräusch beim Akkordwechsel minimieren wollte. Ich bin von diesen Saiten begeistert. Nicht nur die Geräuschminimierung, sondern vor allem der Sound dieser Saiten, die Stimmstabilität, super. Empfehlenswert.
