Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light gauge works fine on a jazzmaster, great on a tele. They are also much brighter in tone in comparison to the flatwounds. Great for es-semi hollow or hollow bodied guitars.

Great sound, not as shrill as round wounds or ernie's. The only downside is that you can't get singles of the wounds. Overall, this set is an excellent choice for a jaguar.

These are now my favorite guitar strings. A more versatile string with a wide range of tonal qualities.

Harmonics are a bit muted, but string noise is nonexistent. Like using metallic brake pads and wear on the rotors.

Quality


Nice strings, i did not want them to be bright so i am happy.


They worked really well for the noise, but then i also fell in love with the sound and the feel.

Shipping


Also, the free return shipping, on most orders, ain't bad!

Competitiveness


Much more comfortable and lower-tension than flatwounds i think.


Brighter than flat-wound but way duller than wound--splits the difference.


They much less fretbuzz in down doom tunings than round-wound imho.

    They could be sold for 5x the price under some other high end brand and people would rave about them

    For the price they are you owe it to yourself to give them a try

    If you like the sonic character of nickel wound strings but not the rough feel of the wound strings then get these half rounds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cannot go back to the feel of nickel wounds anymore


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Nothing that special to be honest i guess theyre a little easier on the fingers and if you play an acoustic or in a recording situation theres less noise from changing chords etc etc

    Brighter than flatwound but way duller than woundsplits the difference

    Good for light rock and very passable for jazz


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I found the lower 3 strings on the 942 set cause fret buzz at least on my guitars
