Customers find the strings have a good tone with no boominess or thin highs. They feel smooth and silky, though some find them stiffer than Thomastik flat-wounds. However, some customers find the lengths too short for their needs.

Customers are unhappy with the length of the strings. They mention the strings are not long enough for a 52 Epiphone Regent Zephyr, and the string wrappings are too long.

The string wrappings are to long I have no idea what scale it’s meant for but it’s not the one I have. Tried to string and snapped the first turn, I doubt it would have held up over time.waste of money!

    These are just plain fabulous strings. The sound is very buttery, and they stay in tune better than some more popular brands. (I've tried them all.) And the 5th and 6th strings sound with a just the right amount of "thumpiness" -- recalling the "Golden Age" of jazz guitar. I love 'em! These are my strings now.

    These strings sound and feel great. Very happy using them on a strat that needed some taming in the high end. The low strings are definitely plunky, especially the E.

    If you're reading this, you don't need telling about the defining tone of flats over wounds BUT you do require reassurance that: La Bella Jazz Flats' beat all competitors (even TI and Rotosound) to justify the extra $$; and, 20-PCM Custom Medium is the sweet spot gauge?... Yes, yes, and yes! 'Nuff said

    5.0 out of 5 stars Made my Hollow Body Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II Sing
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
    Size: 09/39Verified Purchase
    These are flatwounds, with the separation and clarity of tone you'd expect, but they bend and sing, with a very light touch needed. Great for fingerpicking and for articulating solos. I put a set on my Godin Hollow Body 5th Avenue KingPin II (with P90 pickups) and it sang like never before. You have to be careful when winding them not to do a sharp angle, let the string wrap around the post naturally and don't try to build in a locking knot, and they will string great.

    I got the extra light set and I was surprised at how great they sounded through the amp.

    I just ordered a seconds set as spares for the case. These will be on that guitar for a long, long time.

    I have ordered two sets of these strings. Both have been so badly tarnished from the package that they were unusable.
