Half the price of Chromes, but not half the quality

Slowpaw 14.10.2022

Lighter and slinkier than my DAddario flatwounds and half the price. Ok so the look of the string isn’t quite as high quality as the Chromes but they are close, and allow for easier bends and so are better for rock and roll or bluesy stuff. I’d say for those used to roundwounds, give these a try first.
For Jazzers used to flatwounds, maybe they offer less fatigue.

Good replacement strings

Henrique Rodrigues 09.09.2025

Good working strings so far. Could be slightly less grippy, but It feels the grip is wearing out and becoming more pleasant to touch. A good clean and lube will improve it. The tone is nice and they feel ok to me. Nothing particularly wrong with them. Already used for recording and worked just fine.

Premim Flatwounds at a Great Price

JimmyBob 14.01.2023

I've been playing flatwound strings for years because I can't stand squeaky roundwounds (even though they have a brighter sound). These HB strings play just as nicely as more expensive brands but cost 1/3 of the price. If you are looking to try flatwounds, these are a great way to start.

Not bad if you want to try out flatwound guitar strings

alib8 11.07.2022

I have the lowest 4 strings installed on a cigar box guitar. Expected a bit more muted tone, they are still quite lively, no finger noise though. Good price point to try out flatwounds.
