These strings are on the pricey side ($22.99) versus the Brite Flats (~$9.50) but from just simply looking at the packaging you can justify the difference.
The strings are in a nice plastic container which I saved for other uses. Also each string is in its own envelope and the wound strings have another plastic sleeve which they reside in; very high quality.
When stringing the guitar one notices the finer details such as the red silk windings on the end of each wound string. Ball end and plain end are reinforced for ease in stringing, extended playing life, and aesthetics.
These strings feel great on right and left hands. The finger style playing is also very enjoyable with these strings. The tone is more articulate than D'Addario chromes and mellower than GHS Brite Flats. I particularly like the choice of string gauge. I highly recommend these strings to any player in search of the ultimate flat wound.
I suggest you trying the Jazz Swing JS113 flat wound Thomastik-Infeld .013 (http://www.stringsbymail.com/store/thomastik-infeld-jazz-swing-series-flat-wound-js113-13-53-full-set-2204.html)

ReplyDeleteThe silk windings on my JS110 Strings extended past the tuner posts when I put them on my Ibanez Archtop Guitar so I bent a sharp angle to help keep the windings in place. I guess I might have to replace the tuners w/ ones that have taller posts so I can have more silk winding wrap around them. These strings should include instructions on how to install them properly cause it would help.
