skipburz Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I posted this question on the Jazz Guitar Forum last night, but thought I would post it here as well. I was poking around on the Gibson website and saw these nickel flatwounds: Gibson | Flatwound Electric Guitar Strings Has anyone out there tried them? Also, the package says "Flatwound Nickel", but the ad says, "stainless steel wrapped". I assume they're talking about the core being stainless steel. Thanks!

Look again at the blurb - "Gibson Flatwound Electric Guitar Strings are precision-wound with flat, stainless steel ribbon wire...." I haven't tried them unfortunately!

They could be pretty good strings but expensive at $24.99; then again all flat- or tape-wound strings cost more these days. Best wishes!
