D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Chromes Electric Guitar Strings - Flat Wound - Polished for Ultra-Smooth Feel and Warm, Mellow Tone - ECG25 - Light, 12-52, 1-Pack

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?

I am new to flatwounds, having just acquired a jazz box after many years of solidbodies. They threw in a new set of Ernie ball flats which I thought would be fine - wrong! In all fairness, these were 11's, while this big girl really needed 12's to make it sing. The EB strings gave the gtr a kind of banjo-like tone, which had me concerned that I had maybe bought the wrong guitar. Put the Daddario chrome 12's on and man! What a difference, these strings have it all: a certain depth of tone, sweet, full brightness entirely lacking in the EB 11 flats. I'm used to playing roundwounds, so the prices of these (either brand) are a bit hard to take - 20 bucks a set! But I will continue biting the bullet and using these chromes, as they sound beautiful on my big hollowbody!
