Mike Perdue: Perfect for my hollow body electric.

Aaron Wilson: I bought some Ernie Ball flatwound strings and they were garbage. These are fantastic flatwound strings. I use them on my Gretsch and the sound fantastic!

Seymour in Kentucky: Lovely plucking sound on my Gretsch Hollowbody. Balances out the tinniness of hollowbodys with conventional electric strings. Feel so nice on the fingers and zero fret noise when changing position. Just press and play!

rodi53rodi53: Installed these strings on an Ibanez Artstar Prestige AS2000. They sound wonderful and are the most comfortable playing strings I’ve ever used. Love the smooth, silky feel!

EDIT: I ordered another set through Amazon to keep for whenever a string change is necessary. This one had one corner of the package mostly torn off. I don't know if the tear breached the plastic wrap or not. If it did, the strings will corrode. The outer packaging was fine so I assume either Amazon or the seller sold me a damaged pack deliberately. Lesson learned. Buy strings from a "real" dealer.

Marcio Augusto Damin Custodio: Bom custo benefício.

Mark J. Patterson: I was listening to a professionally-recorded guitar piece that sounded great but for all of the shrieks in between each chord. I realize that it's something I've gotten used to over the years, but it struck me that there was no objective value in that, if it could in any way be avoided. I knew then what my wife was complaining about in my earlier years. I've gotten better at avoiding the squeak, but flat-wound strings would improve it, still.

This was my first set of flats. Apart from the shrieks, I was also hoping it would also cut the slight grating that sometimes happened when my brass finger picks struck the strings at anything less than perpendicular. It worked for both. I was concerned that the flat-wound strings would be too "mellow." I didn't know what "mellow" sounded like, but I figured I would soon find out. Now that I'm playing them, I still don't know what it means. The sound is sharper, as expected from any new set, but the only difference in the lows is that the low strings hit the same pitches with less tension in the strings, making them sound a little more resonant and twangy, like a really good acoustic guitar.

Over-all, though, these strings don't...
