## Description

Flat wound electric guitar strings with a polished, ultra-smooth feel and warm, mellow tone. Hex-core design ensures consistent intonation and durability.

Review: Love flats - but hate the G. Do not buy other brands, these are better. - Flats are awesome! Just make sure to adjust intonation after - it's only a 5-minute job and usually just needs a screwdriver. They sound great - not dead at all; and they keep a consistent sound for significantly more time than even expensive roundwounds. This is likely as they don't rust or get dirty basically at all. When you hear of bassists using 10+-year-old strings I'd imagine this is why. They're very quiet finger-noise-wise but you can still pick-scrape well enough with medium gain. "Jazz strings:" these work for cleans and neck pickups but also sound awesome for EVH stuff or classic rock just as well. Flats feel great and I swear keep in tune slightly better. Smoother surface, maybe? I use half of these for the wound strings and half of a "balanced tension" set for the plain. You can just buy a plain G and use the rest to save money - these will outlast many sets plain strings but are rather expensive. Quick note: other brands sell "flats" that are actually similar to the D'addario "half-rounds" which are also cool, but not true flats and without many of the benefits.
Review: Brilliant - Nice strings, good price, fast delivery

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can somebody give me the full wift on all six strings, ecg 26 medium. and the associated colour. thank you**
A: Not sure what you mean by 'wift' but the ones I use are 10/48's. E 1st is silver. 2nd B is .o14 purple. 3rd is .o2o wound and is green. 4th .028 is black. 5th is .038 and is red. 6th is .048 and is brass coloured. I'm always very pleased with these strings and they last a long time too.

**Q: Will these help to dampen the absurdly loud g string that plague fender guitars? I need something new for my Jaguar**
A: The G issue isn't really a Fender problem - more one of balancing the responsiveness of strings.  Chromes won't do that job.  Sounds like you need to be using a set with a wound G string  - in the '60s, and earlier,  string sets were heavier and more like 11s up to 13s for the thin E string, and they always had a wound G.  Your Jag also has a short scale length of 24" so any set is going to be way more slacker than on a normal 25.5" Strat or Tele.  Suggest you try some 11s like these EXL115W XL Nickel Wound Blues/Jazz Rock (.011-.049) Wound 3rd Electric Guitar Strings

**Q: Why are this range thicker than regular strings? 10 is the thinnest string in this collection.**
A: Hi, in truth there are no"regular" strings. Depending on the sound you wish to make, or which works well with your instrument, it's all a matter of personal preference. This particular string, for my taste has a "subdued" tone which I feel suits the blues/ jazz that I play. The flat winding reduces the noise when I slide around the neck and gives a more rounded tone. But, it is all about personal preference.

**Q: Are these suitable for a gretsch electromatic?**
A: If you want that jazzy warm feel - perfect.  However, if you like that sparkle from the Gretsch pickups these Chromes will make it sound more ES175 like.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the extra £
*by P***P on 29 November 2024*

Hesitated buying for ages due to the price but ended up getting them finally, put them on my Fender Jaguar - and boy have they upgraded my setup. Most sets of strings need to be tuned a few times when you first put them on. Not these! Absolutely zero slipping. They sound fantastic too and feel great to play. Robust and can take a good bashing, but also work well for more subtle playing, bending and noodling. Obviously they need to be cut down to size as there’s quite a bit of excess string, so make sure you have wire cutters or a string multitool.
