Thomastik-Infeld GB112 Jazz Guitar Strings: George Benson 6 String Set - Pure Nickel Flat Wounds E, B, G, D, A, E Set

Yea.. these are the best. Tension. Tone. Consistency. Shame they have gotten so expensive. Still, given how long they last, it's not too much an investment.

A little bit more expensive but worth every penny. They last a long time

Yes, I know these are expensive, but I think it is worth it. I have used various strings over the years and I think these have the most tone and they do seem to last a long time. I put these on my jazz boxes; ES175, DAngelico vestex and use theses guitars for bebop, straight ahead stuff and they bring out the tone, especially behind a female singer. I haven't tried them for more contemporary jazz on an ES335 or a solid body, I just got the impression they would not sound as good on these guitars since I need to have the ability to do more string pulls on these guitars for the blues and rock/jazz that I would play on these guitars.

Wonderful flat wound strings.

These are the best made, most beautiful-sounding strings I've ever encountered. They're spendy, but a single set lasts for months and months if you clean them regularly, and the tone barely deteriorates over time. Yes, they're sublime for traditional jazz sounds. But contrary to most users' opinions, they are MAGNIFICENT for distortion, with stout, perfectly formed fundamentals and a minimum or sloppy highs. Remember: most guitar strings were pure nickel until the late ’60s, and much was lost when rising nickel prices prompted the industry to use other materials. For reference: I'm a longtime guitar magazine editor and recording/touring musician, as jaded as they come. These inspire me every time I pick up one of my guitars.

Wow! Great strings and I don’t write reviews for strings. Four stars is that low E string yarn near ball end too thick. Does not fit my tail piece and had to cut off yarn to fit. Once strung up, just wow! I have to try the js112 swing to see if it is worth the $15 price difference. But until then…wow!

Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds have a beautiful tone, and they last forever. Expensive, and worth every penny.

These srings are by far produce a tone I've never heard from any other maker. I enjoy the 14 gauge (High E) as much as if not more than the 12 gauge for overall playing; but each has his/her preference. Use a 4mm thick V-Pick and after fooling with his combanation find it a great match. Bending the strings isn't hard it just takes getting use to and the speed with a low action setup is amazing I.E., Chromatic playing ... shallow desire lead to shallow results! Expensive? Yes, but in this case I get what I've paid for. GHS flat wounds are next pick and cheaper. Bottom line, regardless of strings, if you want to play you'll play. There is a difference in how well the execution of playing is however with experimenting with strings. Play, pray on! BJETT

Ottima fattura e qualità e buona conservazione all'apertura, bellissimo suono. Purtroppo la doratura del rivestimento dei cantini tende a deteriorarsi molto facilmente (probabilmente a causa del materiale: ottone) tuttavia la corda di per sé si conserva molto bene

Excelente producto y gran vendedor

I have tool to see consistency of each string perfect.bright bit extra tension should last longer than standard strings by 30 % percent.Gauges cost more to put together than this awesome set.A must for Gb fans and students.
