## Description

Product Description True to name, this set was designed to suit the needs of gypsy jazz guitar players in an era before amplification. Made by John D’Addario Sr. for legendary luthier Mario Maccaferri, Gypsy Jazz strings embody the authentic tone and feel of acoustic jazz. Constructed with a high carbon steel core and silver-plated copper wrap wire, this set delivers the beautifully warm, percussive, and projecting tone heard in the recordings of Django Reinhardt and other acoustic jazz ensembles. This 11-45 Medium Ball End set is made for acoustic guitars which use ball end strings and has a bit more tension than light gauge strings.

Silverplated copper is wound on a high carbon steel core, delivering a warm, projecting tone optimal for any gypsy jazz style guitar.Plain Steel ExplainedA high carbon steel alloy wire that is round in cross section. Used for plain steel strings.When do I change my strings?Don’t wait until they break! The frequency you should change strings depends on how often you play, how you play, and in what conditions your instrument is played and stored. Active performers may need to change their strings on a weekly basis or even more often if they suffer from acidic perspiration. Occasional players may take months to wear out a set. Most players change strings when they lose their brilliance, sound too mellow, when intonation falters or when their instrument is difficult to keep in tune. Changing one string after it breaks is not recommended as the newer string will be brighter-sounding than the rest of the set.How can I clean my strings?Hand perspiration and dirt build-up are the main culprits that shorten string longevity. Wipe strings down with a clean cloth after each session. For those of you with more acidic perspiration, wipe strings down with Planet Waves String Cleaner.Which string set is for me?Whether choosing electric, acoustic, classical or other strings, the right string tension for your style is a matter of trial and error and is of utmost importance. Experimenting with different tensions can bring out a completely different character and sound of your instrument and in the style of your play. You should not assume that the string tension the guitar manufacturer selected at the factory is the right tension for you.Custom blending of light and medium sets or extra light and light sets is also an option. For example the EXL140 set combines the trebles of a regular light electric set with the basses of a jazz EJ21 set. This allows easy bending of treble strings with the heftier bass response of the heavier EJ21 strings.Light gauge strings are the most popular and are recommended by most makers. Lighter overall string tension ensures longer soundboard and neck life. Heavier tensions are not recommended for guitars built with fragile tops. Medium gauge strings offer more projection on heavier built instruments.Classical sets are gauged in light, normal, hard and extra hard tensions. Although the total pull of classical strings is much less than their steel string counterparts, the string height is set higher on classical guitars. This fact makes the tension difference critical.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to buy singles from this set? At the moment all I need is D.**
A: I have not found any dealers that carry singles. I suggest contacting D'Addario directly. Honestly, these are not the most popular brand among serious Gypsy Jazz players - you might find other singles on one of the Gypsy Jazz websites - but either way, you'll end up paying shipping for a special order single string....which will probably end up at the total cost of a full set!

**Q: Does this come with a plain or wound G string?**
A: Wound G string, its a great string set

**Q: Anyone using these for fingerstyle blues? What do you think of them?**
A: To understand these strings, you must understand they are made for a true "gypsy jazz" guitar (modeled after the old Selmer guitars). Why is that significant? Because, for one thing, the scale length is 26.38 in. Compare that to an old classic fingerstyle blues guitar, like a Gibson L-0, which is 24.5 inches. The thin nature of these strings is offset by the longer scale of a gypsy guitar. Now, if you are asking would finger style blues sound cool on a gypsy jazz guitar strung with these? That very well could be cool and funky sounding. I hope that helps.

**Q: How would these sound on a Fender concert-size acoustic?**
A: Hard to know without trying. It may sound ok but they also may sound anemic because they're designed for a long scale guitars. I'm guessing your Fender is 25.5" scale or thereabouts and guitars these strings are designed for are 26.5", that's a big difference. Cheap enough to put on a set if you're curious. Upshot might be that the guitar will be easier to play because of their light gauge.
