## Description

Genuine Thomastik-Infeld Product

Review: Worth the price - 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,
Review: Super high quality strings - I've been using these strings for about 6 years. They are head and shoulders above other brands in quality as are all the Thomastik strings I've tried. Among the Thomastiks I've tried, these are the most durable, they stay in tune the best, and give a full bodied tone that is unmatched by any other set. That said, I do not recommend these for beginners. They are rather high tension and bends can be tough if you aren't used to bending a B string that is .018 I play these on an old Gibson with original T-top pickups. I also use extremely thick picks [3mm]. I play mostly Funk and jazz/blues w/e you wanna call it. Folks need to buy more of these since the price is getting out of hand. I'm probably the only one besides GB playing these things.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the gb 14 flats smoother on finger tips than ti 13 flats?**
A: I’ve never used the 13 flats. But their made the same way. So I don’t see why there would be an issue. The string is naturally longer with the tailpiece behind the floating bridge of my GB200. So with a longer string, there’s less tension. So your instrument design is the detriment factor in the friction and touch of your strings.

**Q: Can i use these strings for hard rock?**
A: They're probably too heavy for hard rock

**Q: what color, if any, are the wrappings at the end? Some have no wrappings - some have colored wrappings. Please help a brother out.**
A: The four wound strings have blue wrapping at both ends. The two plain strings have no wrappings at either end.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings
*by M***I on April 29, 2011*

Great for Jazz, Blues, and lazy guitarists I'm no serious guitarist but I know quality when I see it. The sound is amazing and these flatwound strings are so smooth that callous-free guitarists (kids like me playing classical guitar most of the time) have no trouble jumping right in. The price is clearly high compared to normal electric strings, but it is worth the cost for such a smooth ride
