FLATWOUNDS ON ALL GUITARS ?

[elrigato]

Hey guys, I bought some flatwound strings made by D'addario today, they feel and sound great on the 'ol Joe Pass Emporer II

Thanks once again for your help....Time to try some Jazzzzzzzzzzzz

Would these string sound good on my Les Paul and my Tele ?
Do these strings come in 9's......the ones on the Joe Pass are 13's
My Les Paul and Tele both have Ernie Ball 9's on them.....13's seem pretty tough to bend for a beginner like me.

Just wondering

Thanks again
Rob

Rob, i just let this one go by the first time you posted it, hoping someone else would ring in.

you can just go to the d'Addario site and see what they make.

like their lightest flatwounds.

you could even compare the tension of the strings with the 13s you are using.

and to their closest match to EB SuperSlinky

would they sound good on your Les Paul and Tele?

i can answer that, about as well as you can answer me:

does Alaskan King Crab taste better than Filet Mignon?

.....................................get my point?


if you think they might sound good, just try them the next time you change strings!

if you hate them and replace them immediately, how much did that cost?

Well, I bet the strings are cheaper than the crab or the filet. I kinda like them together, btw. Saaaaaaaaaay..........wonder if a guy could use both on a double neck........Rock on the rounds and Jazz on the flats......I amaze me with my ideas sometimes............I must be a genius......the ego boost is such a rush.......WOW...... ;D
