Precision Flatwound - Electric Guitar Strings - Stainless Steel - High Volume - Polished Smooth - (L) - Light Gauge (900 SET) - 12-50

Good Product

excellent sound quality and weight ... About a couple of years ago I tried flat wound strings and will never go back. These play so well it is scary... great value for the money as I have not broken any in over a year. If you have never tied flat wound strings buy a set of these and I think you will love them. I rarely ever pick up one of my guitars that still have round wound strings.....

Worked good , good price, sounded good

Excellent and i'm not a fan of flats because the high string tension and dull sound. These are different. Hold tune, play great (not like regular flats) and low string tension. Not too bright and they last a good while. I play mostly nylon and these are probably closet i've found to that feel on an electric i.e. smooth. Well worth the money as they will outlast several string changes of regular strings.

Perfect. Super satisfied

Pros: --Easy to bend --Bright Tone while still reducing guitar squeak --Sound great with distortion/wah and other effects --Low E string is light enough that it doesn't sound clunky --Harmonics come through nicely --Some people say they aren't as polished as typical flatwounds, but i never noticed any problems Cons: --Not so easy to find I'm using them on a PRS Custom 24 Floyd and I can't be happier. I can get anything from soft dark jazzy sounds to screaming distortion with great harmonics, and best of all, the action is nice and light which has done wonders for improving speed and fluency.

I found out the hard way that cheap flat wound strings break easily, usually when you're putting them on, and if the "good" ones are those $60-$120 per pack strings, then I guess I'm out of the flat wound business. But fortunately for me these were neither $60-$120 nor were they cheaply made. In fact they feel really really well made. I have always loved flat wounds on an es-335 or on a Sheraton guitar and these didn't disappoint. The low strings thump and the high strings are bright with a bite, and if you add a touch of slapback delay and a smattering of hall reverb, they are perfect for anything from psychobilly and cow punk, to rockabilly and 50s/60s Hank Sr. country.... and i suppose they're great for jazz and fusion as well, if that's your bag.

A bit brighter than I typically expect from flatwounds, but still a far cry from normal roundwounds. Not a good or bad thing - just a preference note. Contrary to some warnings, they actually bend pretty well — just not quite with the same bending RANGE as roundwounds. If you bend your G string a lot, you might not like the wound G that doesn't bend as far as a plain steel G on regular electric strings. On the other hand, the wound G contributes to better tone & volume balance across strings for closed-position &/or jazz chords. They can feel "sticky" when new, despite being smoother than roundwounds. This mellows out quite a bit after 2-3 days of playing. They keep their punch a LOT longer than roundwounds - I change the plain steel high B/E strings 2-5 times before I feel I need to change the wound strings. I suggest bulk ordering B/E strings if you decide to switch to flatwounds.
