Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: Love flats - but hate the G. Do not buy other brands, these are better. - Flats are awesome! Just make sure to adjust intonation after - it's only a 5-minute job and usually just needs a screwdriver. They sound great - not dead at all; and they keep a consistent sound for significantly more time than even expensive roundwounds. This is likely as they don't rust or get dirty basically at all. When you hear of bassists using 10+-year-old strings I'd imagine this is why. They're very quiet finger-noise-wise but you can still pick-scrape well enough with medium gain. "Jazz strings:" these work for cleans and neck pickups but also sound awesome for EVH stuff or classic rock just as well. Flats feel great and I swear keep in tune slightly better. Smoother surface, maybe? I use half of these for the wound strings and half of a "balanced tension" set for the plain. You can just buy a plain G and use the rest to save money - these will outlast many sets plain strings but are rather expensive. Quick note: other brands sell "flats" that are actually similar to the D'addario "half-rounds" which are also cool, but not true flats and without many of the benefits.

Most sets of strings need to be tuned a few times when you first put them on. Not these! Absolutely zero slipping. They sound fantastic too and feel great to play. Robust and can take a good bashing, but also work well for more subtle playing, bending and noodling. Obviously they need to be cut down to size as there’s quite a bit of excess string, so make sure you have wire cutters or a string multitool. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario, 4 XL Chromes Electric Guitar Strings, Light, 12-52 (ECG25) - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL110-3D - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light, 3-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/50004156-guitar-strings-xl-chromes-electric-guitar-strings-flat-wound-polished](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/50004156-guitar-strings-xl-chromes-electric-guitar-strings-flat-wound-polished) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
