  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Overall Opinion

  (Originally written by marc05400/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  I've been using these strings for a few weeks. These are the first flat wound strings I try so I cannot compare them with others... But their quality doesn't prompt me to try another brand...
  
  
  
  Depending on the pickup and amp settings (I use a Vox AD30VT) they give my Lg Hmb Godin a jazz or blues sound. They are comfortable to play without sliding noises! They are "smooth" enough to easily play full bends on the 4th fret (if your fingers can manage it!). People who want to do full bends or even larger bends... should think about buying a winch!!!
  
  
  
  I'm considering upgrading to the 12/52...
  
  
  
  For the time being I cannot say anything about durability...
  
  
  
  I give them 10/10! I have no reason to give them a worse grade for the moment...

  I've been using these strings for a few weeks. They are the first flatwound strings I try so I cannot really compare them to others... But their quality somehow refrains me from trying out other brands...
  
  They give a jazzy or bluesy sound to my Lg Hmb Godin depending on the pickup and amp settings (Vox AD30VT). They are very comfortable to play with and hardly make any noise when I slide! They are "smooth" enough to easily play 1-tone bends on the 4th fret (if your fingers can take it!). I'm actually considering trying out their big sisters (gauge 12/52)...
  
  Right now I cannot say anything about durability...
  
  I give them 10/10! I have no reason to award them a lower mark at the moment...
