D’Addario ECG23 Chromes Flat Wound Electric Guitar Strings, Extra Light, 10-48
D’Addario Chrome Extra Light Electric Guitar Strings are revered for their warm tone and ultra-smooth feel. Stainless steel under windings on hex cores build a foundation for the delicate outer ribbon winding. After the winding is applied, each string goes through 3 polishing steps. Great for classic jazz tone and rockabilly twang. D’Addario’s string packaging does away with the nylon plastic outer envelope, paper insert, and paper envelopes for each string. The strings come inside a 100% recyclable cardboard package that inhibits string corrosion. D’Addario string sets are now being made with new, brighter colored ball ends. The colored ball ends are specially coated with a new paint (green, red, purple ) that is easily recognizable and makes it even easier for you to identify each string.

Suddenly I find myself wanting to slide up and down the strings for fun. I’m convinced that Hendrix must’ve used flats because suddenly his style makes a bunch more sense.At first, they are so…
Excellent sound and long lasting Thee only flatwound strings I’ve tried that sound significantly better than these are the Thomastiks, which cost twice as much, and they’re not twice as good. Maybe if I was a working pro I’d buy the Thomastiks, but for me, the D’Addarios sound good, and last a long time.If you’ve never played flatwounds, you might be surprised to discover that they far outlast round wound strings. That’s because what kills the sound of strings is gunk from your fingers and the air getting in…
Excellent for precise practicing I out these on one of my teles (2000 Am Std) that I am using to re-learn site reading from long ago. What I learned that it easier to practice with these to be able to play precisely. They also seem never to get out of tune! Also I realize now that a lot of tone I heard in R&B rhythms had to be played on flat wounds. I can still bend the G string too. A very smooth sound and a different in a good way on the 6th and 5th that is impossible on regular wound strings. With a tele with Dimarzio…
