Rating: 
These are the first flatwounds I tried. I've now got
DRs on my Epi, but I'll definitely be going back to the
D'Addarios. Lovely warm tone, lovely. |
|
Price: $about12 ZAR161 (new)
Where Obtained: Andy McGibbon's Guitar World
|
|
Features:
Yup. This is the ticket. Hopefully the ticket to a
ludicrous contract and throngs of adoring fans. (But I
ain't holdin my breath on that one!) I play with the
Lights, .010 to .052 gauge. Not only are they
flatwound, but they're polished, like my playing... er,
not. |
|
Sound Quality:
I was very impressed with the tone. I flip to the neck
pickup on my Epiphone Les Paul '56 Goldtop
Reissue and I sound just like John Pizzarelli, or so
I'm told. I currently have DR Legends on the guitar,
but I'm like totally unimpressed with them and will be
going back to the D'Addarios soon. They're so warm
and cuddly... |
|
Durability:
Flatwounds have a reputation for lack of longevity,
but I didn't have that problem at all. My skin is very
acidic so I make a point of wiping down my strings
when I'm done playing - and so should you!
They lasted at least as long as my normal strings,
and I had no problem with pitch retention. |
