Smooth and Lively
These are excellent strings. Smooth winds and a lively sound. Works quite well for playing my archtop acoustically. Will buy again and again.

Good strings for a epiphone broadway.
if you own a epiphone broadway, these are the perfect strings for that guitar. 13 guage wound round. I tried the 13 flats didn't like. update on these strings. this is my third pack using these strings, for some reason the g string fall apart to point of cutting your finger. other than that these are good strings. I replace the g string for a plain 19 guage which to me sound better with more sustain. I think the company should fix that problem . these strings are expensive.

A very mell
These strings are a bit more money but well worth it. Very nice on my archtops. Btw; the string ends at the tuner side are well made so as to make winding a breeze! Highly recommend!

Tune before cutting!
Installed these for the first time, and the A string fell apart. I did not know this before, but you must put a sharp bend before cutting a round core string or it will fall apart. I bought a 2nd set and tuned these up without cutting and these sound much better. Some round core vendors put a warning about this but I did not see anything on this package.

Best jazz guitar strings round-wound
Definitely the best set of round wound strings for jazz guitar. Balanced , with the right amount of brightness . Every string and note is very distinct. No mudness , as it happens with flat wound strings. Excellent for fusion, jazz and basically anything, I have it on my Gibson ES 335 and lately also on my Stratocaster. Way better than any strings I ever used. By the way in the Amazon description there is an error. They describe this strings as “accordion accessory” . Totally wrong! Thomastic-Infeld is a string manufacturer from 1600, in Austria. They are , with Pirastro the most famous and high quality strings manufacturer in the world. They are specialized on strings for orchestra (violin, viola,cello,bass) and jazz .

The best strings made by man
These are the best strings made by man. They stay in tune and they stay in tone forever. Im not sure you ever need to change them. I have these on my Ed Bickert Telecaster and they sound amazing. They also handle open tunings and drop tunings like a charm and barely change tension while doing it. I dont know how they make these things so good, they must have string faeries in the factory imbuing these strings with magic. I like the Swing set too. This set has a plain g string where the Swing set has a wound g string. I like both.

Best Strings I have ever used!
All of this is subjective of course BUT.... By far THE Best strings I have ever used (and been thru them all over my 40+ years of playing!!) Feel great, not stiff. Almost feels like you're playing nylon strings. Not as warm as flatwounds. I also tried Tomastik flats ( didnt care for them) The roundwounds are warm enough for my jazz playing and a little punchier if you transition to blues & funk Yes, more expensive, but last longer than others I have used. Try em!

La compra estuvo muy bien, rápida, el vendedor se puso en contacto conmigo muy rápidamente, el envío llego antes como siempre en Amazon, y el producto es de los mejores y más recomendable para quienes tocamos jazz, a pesar del calibre alto, la acción es muy ligera y se sienten cómodas, no cómo las e otras marcas que parece que traes alambres seguridad. Ampliamente recomendable si buscas un sonido rico en armónicos y texturas robustas, además de gran sustain y larga vida, las anteriores las cambie al año de uso y aún afinaban muy bien y no perdieron brillo demasiado.

La calidad de estas cuerdas es incuestionable. Por algo tienen fama entre los guitarristas de jazz de todo el mundo. Las dos primeras cuerdas son doradas y tienen un tacto realmente bueno. Sin embargo, el calibre de la quinta y la sexta se queda corto en el juego de 012 para quienes venimos del mundo de la guitarra acústica y las usamos en una archtop. Creo que este fabricante debería dar opciones en un juego de cuerdas tan caro para satisfacer las necesidades del usuario, al igual que hacen otros fabricantes, e incluir en el juego de 012 una versión con los bordones un poquito más gruesos. También considero que tienen un precio muy elevado, de ahí mi puntuación.

These beep bop strings are excellent. Expensive but worth it. Great tone !!

ça sonne! Cordes très douces sans être des flatwounds. J'avais des Elixir et des XL et désormais je ne me vois plus changer. L'équilibre entre les cordes est très bon et le son est rond avec de la clarté quand même. Bref, le bonheur.

la guitare fretless est très heureuse de porter ses cordes agréables sous les doigts
