Description
If you’re chasing that old-school thump without the finger squeak of roundwounds, this Ernie Ball Group III Flatwound set is the swap you’ve been putting off. Flat stainless steel ribbon wire is wound tight around a hex-shaped, tin-plated steel core, giving you a playing surface that feels almost polished under your fingers instead of ridged. The payoff is a mellow, rounded tone with plenty of vintage warmth — less zing, more body.
- Gauges: .045 / .065 / .080 / .100
- Flat stainless steel wrap wire for a silky-smooth feel and warm tone
- Hex-shaped, tin-plated high carbon steel core wire for durability
- Machined brass ball ends cut to precise specs for a snug, reliable fit
Flatwounds age differently than rounds — they don’t go dead the same dramatic way, but they do lose that just-strung liveliness over time, and once you feel a fresh set against a worn one, there’s no mistaking it. Whether you’re chasing that classic flat, muted low end for R&B, jazz, or vintage rock tones, or just want less string noise bleeding into your recordings, this set delivers the smooth, controlled response flatwounds are known for. Stock up now and keep a backup set ready — because nothing kills a session faster than strings that have already given you everything they’ve got.
