## Description

Genuine Thomastik-Infeld Product

Review: Not just for archtop jazz! - These are the best made, most beautiful-sounding strings I've ever encountered. They're spendy, but a single set lasts for months and months if you clean them regularly, and the tone barely deteriorates over time. Yes, they're sublime for traditional jazz sounds. But contrary to most users' opinions, they are MAGNIFICENT for distortion, with stout, perfectly formed fundamentals and a minimum or sloppy highs. Remember: most guitar strings were pure nickel until the late ’60s, and much was lost when rising nickel prices prompted the industry to use other materials. For reference: I'm a longtime guitar magazine editor and recording/touring musician, as jaded as they come. These inspire me every time I pick up one of my guitars.
Review: Thomastik-Infeld Strings are the Sine qua non of Jazz strings heard on fine jazz recordings. - Incredibly playable on a nice jazz box. These bring out many colors of my jazz box. These Thomastik Strings are very bendable and stay in tune to boot!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do these strings sound with the guitar unplugged ?**
A: I have mine on a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion III and they sound good unplugged on a hollow body arch top.  They don't sound good on a dreadnaught acoustic though, a bit muddy though the bass comes out very well.

**Q: I have a Gibson SG standard VOS re-issue. It's a solid body. I'm looking for some input. Would these strings work good on it?**
A: My favorite strings. You may want to try the JS110 set on your SG. They play really in tune and last and last. I use these strings on hollow and solid body guitars. Good strings sound good and these are the best.

**Q: Are the 2 treble (B,E) strings pure nickel ?**
A: No, they are steel and these have a gold tint to them so I believe they are brass coated.  The other four strings are nickel flat wound

**Q: Bought some other ti strings suppose to be flatwound (adg all ok) but the e was not, still roundwounnd, are the ead & g all flat wounds? thanks**
A: The EAD & G in the GB112 set are flatwounds. The E & B 1st and 2nd strings are regular plain strings like in any electric set. If your package contained a round-wound 6th string (low E), then contact TI and they'll send you the correct string for free. They're a great company, with a great product that many of us swear by (me included). And just fyi, the GB112's are flatwound, and the GR112's are roundwound. Good luck!

The Best has its price , although these are 14 gauge, they feel like 12 . I've used them for so long, they're the only strings I will use on my Archtop, and they sound great,
