If you've seen any of my other string listings
you've probably read how I've played fretted instruments professionally
for 40+ years. I constantly experiment with every brand, type and gauge
string I can get my hands on. I'm a retired Hollywood studio musician.
These days my job is to sit around my ranch in Phoenix, teaching some
wonderful students and testing every new string and music gizmo
that comes on the market. Tough job!
I don't have any openings for an assistant..:-)
These
D'Addario Chromes
are
one of the electric guitar strings that I like for big, flatwound jazz playing.
But they also make really great strings for surf, fusion, or electric slide.
They're one of the largest gauge strings you'll likely ever put on an electric guitar.
Big, stainless steel, ribbon wound. That translates into a LOT of fundamental tone,
not a lot of overtones, and not a lot of finger noise when sliding from fret to fret.
They're not what you'd want to use to play Santana or Van Halen stuff.
For that you'd surely want something lighter with more sustain and overtones.
These are fabulous for surf on a Tele or Jazzmaster or Mustang or similar.
They're also very well suited to a Les Paul or Strat in the recording studio,
when playing nearly anything except maybe metal. They'll TWANG or they'll
MOAN, depending on your tone settings. They just don't sustain like roundwound strings.
Daddario (More correctly spelled D'Addario)
makes five different gauge versions of these flatwound chromes.
