Thomastik JS113 Medium Jazz Swing Series Electric Guitar Strings (13-53)
This is THE legendary flatwound jazz guitar string! A list of its players reads like a Jazz Hall of Fame, and it's still the undisputed king of flatwounds, for many of today's jazz greats. A true flatwound (not a "ground wound" or "compressed wound" like some of the pretenders) with glassy smooth polished nickel winding on a round core, it has the perfect balance of fundamental to overtones required for traditional jazz. These strings have a mellow timbre and powerful sound, designed especially for semi acoustic and acoustic jazz guitars. Some players claim that its mellow, powerful tones actually improve with age!
