My favorite strings. Even though they are “jazz” strings they have a very beefy rock tone. Awesome overdrive sound.

These came highly recommended for Jazz so I thought I would give them a try.
I have never used flats on a six-string and I have never used a gauge this heavy but I am very impressed with these. They have improved the tone of my Epiphone Emperor Swingster, making it sound "Jazzier".

D'Addario XL Chrome strings have the cleanest sound for Jazz, R&B, Blues, and any Genre.
I have used D'Addario strings for more than 10 years and they have gone beyond my expectation.
D'Addario Strings can give any Guitar a total sound make-over.
They are clean quiet, and you will love the feel.
Go get your set TODAY!

I really love these strings.
They're smooth and feel amazing.
The sound is very mellow, but not extremely dead sounding. I still get great projection and life from these strings when playing my casino unplugged.
My first pair of these strings did break after a short period of use. My current pair haven't had the same problem.

I love flatwound but they can be hard to find, so I always keep extras, they sound much cleaner than round, & are much easier on fingers.

These were recommended to me for playing jazz on a telecaster. They sound great, and the order and delivery from AMS was super easy.

I mean, overall, you probably already know what strings you like and don't like if you play at all, but I will say that these strings initially do have a brighter tone than many others. The one knock I have on these is, if you are a chugger, the strings will almost definitely unwind from the base after a while. That said, they definitely hold a nice one until they break. I have yet to have one take on that muted or tinny tonality, so that is a good thing.
Overall, these are pretty versatile, but the more aggressive you are as a guitarist on the strings, the more likely you are to have to replace these more frequently than some of the other brands out there.

Product Review
I had never tried flatwound strings until I bought my first hollowbody. I was very impressed and very happy. I have 6 electric guitars, four are hollow or semi-hollow body. I use flatwounds on two of my jazz guitars (Ibanez LGB30 and Epiphone ES-175 Premium), and I use D'Addario Half-Round (semi-flatwound) on my Ibanez AF95RW and Ibanez AK75D). The flatwounds are virtually noise/scratch free when moving up and down the fretboard. The semi-flats are nearly noise free and feel more like regular round wound strings (on my Strat and electric 12-string). Try these strings, you're gonna love 'em! :)

I have been playing these strings for about 10 years now. I have never had one break. The only issue I have ever had was the ball end unwinding on the high e string. But, that was on a jaguar. Seems to be a common problem with the jag/jazz tremolo, with any strings. I will continue using these as long as I play. I usually get the 12's for my jazzmaster, 13's for my jaguar, and 11's for everything else. I highly recommend these strings.

I was using another brand of strings that were more expensive. These feel and sound great on my jazz guitar. Within a week I've had a few people comment on how good my guitar sounds.

Improved action.
By: Jeff Swift
Submitted: 10/14/2013
It gives a vintage sound and is especially great for the chord oriented player.Jazz,Country Blues and Rock rhythm Players.A full step bend with the wound G is approaching its limit.
My 83 Top Loader Telecaster always had action higher than I liked esp on the G string.After I did a couple very slight truss rod adjustments it was close but the G rasped near the twelfth or had to be a bit high.I thought I would try a heavier string set and investigate flat wounds and it worked,it finally plays like I've wanted for thirty years now.
I suppose it is warmer,the Tele always had treble to spare and I mostly want warmth for jazzy chords.I did not replace the high E and B yet since the replacements are not wound and I will try a heavier plain G should I tire of the harder to bend flat wound G in the set.
YES but only on a healthy neck and not a delicate antique.Using them I found is like a small truss rod adjustment and that was my hope.
