Great string

I've tried six or seven other brands, and none of the others ever excited me the way these do. For me that justifies the rating.

Pleasant Surprise

I finally admitted to myself that I needed to switch to a lighter gauge flat wound string set for my 3 archtops
(L5, L4, Epiphone Emperor). I expected to be disappointed in the sound and feel of this change. These Infeld strings were a complete surprise- better sound, better feel! And the cloth covering is a nice touch! Don't laugh, but I'm now going to try a set on a Strat, tuned down a half step!
Thank you Thomastik-Infeld.

Excellent choice!

I put these onto a Silvertone 1446 hollowbody with Bigsby. The playability of these super slippery/slinky strings cannot be overstated, absolute butter under the fingers. A wound B string is a whole 'nuther world for balanced lower-string soloing. The sound is surprisingly ~80% roundwound snappiness with the mini-humbuckers (which tend towards bright to begin with), though the zizziness is missing, which is perfect for a jazz-box :) I tried them on a '70 Paul, and while they play great (!) the lack of edge made rock less inspiring... one supposes they named them Jazz Swing for a reason?? anyway, I've tried other flats and these are definitely far more characterful and rich sounding.
