The "flatwound" sound: roundness, control, and comfort
The D'Addario Chromes ECG23 are designed for electric guitarists seeking an exceptionally smooth feel and controlled tone. Thanks to their flattened and polished stainless steel winding, they reduce the rough sensation under the fingers and limit fret noise, making them an excellent choice for clean and expressive phrasing.
In terms of sound, expect the character of flatwound strings: a softer attack, a muted yet rich tone, and a natural warmth that highlights jazz chords, rockabilly "twang" lines, R&B, as well as many pop/rock contexts where a rounder, less aggressive guitar sound is desired. With their Extra Light 10-48 gauge, these Chromes offer comfortable playability and moderate tension, ideal for long sessions, moderate bends, and instruments set up for a softer feel.

An unconditional user of strings that don't tzing, the XL CHROMES you don't have to talk about them, you have to try them.
My Ibanez AF 105 takes them out of the pack by itself, and she has trouble wearing them out, it lasts, it lasts.
It's round and it's hot me I like
Woodbrass the best of the web and now it's not chrome, it's nickel and chrome after (NICH)Automatically translated

These are authentic jazz strings, they are super soft but the sound is thick at best, it's great for me because you don't destroy your hand with calibers 012 013 014 and it also sounds thick, for me it has been a great discovery, I am very happy with them and I hope they will frabrize it for many years

Since I started with woodbrass, I have a hard time getting to the competitors... they are so good! ... However, I would make a small reservation, the shipping costs are too high, the threshold, free shipping, being subject to a total invoice, also too high..

I equipped my second guitar with these strings, pleasantly surprised by the sound reproduction and the absence of the typical noise of friction (even if this ânoiseâ can be considered as an effect).
