To enjoy the bestselling flatwound strings for electric guitar, choose D'Addario Chromes, known worldwide for the warmth and fatness of their jazzy tone. This mellowness comes from strings wound with a flattened, stainless steel ribbon that is polished to an incredibly smooth surface, which results in greatly diminished finger noise. Chromes deliver a distinctive damped but tone-rich sound ideal for traditional jazz, rockabilly twang, rhythm and blues, or any style enhanced by the characteristic muted but deep rich sound of flatwounds.
