PRECISION FLATS Flatwound Set For Electric Guitar - 900 - Light - 012/050

I used to tune my guitar a step and a half down like Tony Iommi does , and with those strings the sound is awesome. Thanks!!

Excelentes tal y como las necesito

A bit brighter than I typically expect from flatwounds, but still a far cry from normal roundwounds. Not a good or bad thing - just a preference note. Contrary to some warnings, they actually bend pretty well — just not quite with the same bending RANGE as roundwounds. If you bend your G string a lot, you might not like the wound G that doesn't bend as far as a plain steel G on regular electric strings. On the other hand, the wound G contributes to better tone & volume balance across strings for closed-position &/or jazz chords.They can feel "sticky" when new, despite being smoother than roundwounds. This mellows out quite a bit after 2-3 days of playing.They keep their punch a LOT longer than roundwounds - I change the plain steel high B/E strings 2-5 times before I feel I need to change the wound strings. I suggest bulk ordering B/E strings if you decide to switch to flatwounds.

I was looking for a brighter top end on my vintage Guild hollow body archtop w/ DeArmond pickup to offset the bottom heavy amplified sound I was getting with other strings (e.g., T-I, LaBella, Black Diamond) . These GHS stainless steel strings deliver a nicely balanced amplified tone and, considering these are electric flatwound strings, are even satisfactory when playing un-amplified. If you require highly-polished flatwound strings to reduce unwanted sound, look elsewhere, because these have a VERY slight texture that will rub if your fingering technique is a bit lazy.

My only real complaint is that theHigh “ e “ string does not last as long as others.
