Review: This set fitted my 6 string baritone and I tuned it to G#/A Flat Standard. - Good stuff. Would buy again.
Review: Me gustaron. Es mi primer set de flat wound. Si se sienten diferente, y están algo pesadas. Yo lo que hice fue un ajuste, combine algunas de estas cuerdas con las de otro set de rounds. La tercera la sustituí por una de otro set round wound de un calibre similar y use la tercera de este set como mi cuarta cuerda. Por lo que no use la E mas grande.Estoy contento con el resultado. Utiles y resistentes, buen sonido. Llevo ya casi un año tocando con estas y he podido sacar buenos sonidos. Lo único que comentaría es que es difícil sacar bends de tres semitonos. Recomiendo, recuerden reajustar sus guitarras (truss rod, acción, entonación). :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I get these strings and play Jazz â" do I have to buy a hat?**
A: You do not absolutely have to buy a hat, but if you don't you will probably will never be able to play a flat 13th chord or enjoy non-filtered cigarettes.

**Q: 'Scuse the dumb question, but are these for acoustic or electric?**
A: Pretty sure, in the purest sense, they're meant for electric jazz guitars, such as that Gibson ES-Something-or-Other archtop guitar. I've never owned anything like that, but use them (10s or 11s) successfully on several different acoustic guitars. They are quiet compared to round wound strings, or even the flat wound elixirs, but you don't screech all around the neck at all. Hope that helps.

**Q: would these work for an acoustical guitar?**
A: It's all about the tone you want.  These strings sound "different" from typical acoustic strings, not as bright and not as loud, so I put them on my acoustic guitar to give them a whirl and I instantly thought I should take them off.  However, after playing them for a few days I started to "work with them" and I have become a fan of these strings.  They are silky smooth and are a joy to play.  My fingers feel happy after playing and I have found new sounds that only these strings can produce on my acoustic.  These strings have made me play cleaner and more volume-balanced (no notes "stick out" from the others) in a song unless I want them to.  I have two acoustic guitars and one of them will always have these strings on!  I have become partial to the unique sound these strings deliver.

**Q: would the 10-48 strings sit in my 10-46 guitar?**
A: Yes
You might want to file the 48 notch if it seems small. I always use graphite to help with friction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***P on 22 September 2024*

In the past two years, I've changed everything about my guitar playing. My primary guitar (short scale Jagmaster to long scale Jazzmaster), my amps (from Fender modelling amp to Jazz Chorus + Marshall combo), my pedals (basically none to a large board with a dozen of them), and my strings (from lights, as low as 7s at times, to 10s, also changed brands). Now, I believe the evolution of my guitar preferences has finally completed, with the last change, back to D'Addario brand strings, and specifically to the Chromes flatwound strings. Anyone with a Jazzmaster knows that the pickups are pretty generous with the high end. Before getting my first one, I never touched a tone knob before. Now I find myself needing to use it so my ears don't get stabbed to death. However, these strings really mellow that quite a bit, to the point where I could probably leave my tone knob at max and just adjust my pedals or amp settings, ever so slightly. On top of the more mellow sound compared to rounds, these feel great on the fingers. At first I wasn't sure, but a few days in and I'm finding it hard to pick up any of my other guitars because of the relative roughness. I did try D'Addario Half-Rounds as well, but they feel even worse to me than round-wound; they almost have a gritty, nail file type feeling to them. So, as quickly as the half-rounds went on to my cheapest Jazzmaster, I think they will be coming off and flats will go on. I primarily play heavy metal, and I think these sound good, but it'll depend what sound you're going after. Maybe you want the string noise and a bit more harmonic content rather than fundamental note, so you should stick to round wounds. But these are worth trying at least once, I think. Yeah, they cost more, but I've heard they last a lot longer. I haven't had them long enough to vouch for that. But I really love how they feel so I'm sure I'll find out in due time. Only question remaining is, what do I do with these 5 packs of Ernie Ball Slinkys that I've got sitting here unopened?
