Stunning playability and tone, but be aware of sandpaper like effect
I had to try these out on my ES-335 Yamaha, which I use for rock and jazz.
I have long wished for strings that kept the bending properties that roundwound strings offer compared to flatwounds. These are definately the best bend friendly flatwounds I have ever tried. Compared to all the major brands this is the best.
But, then there is the sandpaper effect, which unfortunately makes me wanna take them off again, which I will do.
The top E1, A2, D3 are really rough as sandpaper. I feel like the only trick is to carve off enough dead skin for the sandpaperstrings to be satisfied.
Its a shame, for they are so promising and the tone offers mids, that are'nt normally found in jazzstrings. Makes my drives sound better than any flatwounds I have tried.
Hope that they make a better smoothing of the top three strings and reintroduce them soon.

Be carefull these are wound on a roundcore and should be kinked before cutting.
My rationale in buying these was that they have a plain third. I use flats on all my electric guitars mainly because I cannot stand the squeak of round wound strings. Unfortunately I had no idea that these are round as opposed to the usual Hex-core strings. Because of this i did not kink the string before cutting them as you are supposed to.
I only discovered this when trying to work out why the 4th string felt so sticky. The wrap wire on the fourth had separated from the core creating space between the wraps the outer core can also move independently. Strangely, the fact that these are Round-core is not mentioned on either the Packet or in the description on the website.
I give the strings a high rating because they are quite wonderful; only the misleading description is at fault.
