Thomastik-Infeld JS110 Jazz Swing Flatwound Extra Light

General

The Thomastik Jazz Swing has been the king of jazz strings for ages. No wonder many legendary jazz guitarists use these high-grade, handmade flatwound guitar strings. Consisting of gauges .010 to .044, the JS110 Extra Light is the thinnest set from the Jazz Swing series, which also makes it suitable for music styles other than jazz. As they can easily be bent, you can use these strings for blues and rock too, for instance. However, thanks to their mild yet powerful characteristics, these Thomastik strings feel most at home on a hollow-body jazz guitar.

Thomastik JS110 Jazz Swing: 100% flatwound

Contrary to other string manufacturers who grind down or compress their roundwound strings, Thomastik Ingfeld uses flat wire to wind their Jazz Swing strings. Subsequently, they are polished smooth to counter finger noise and ensure a supple feel. The windings are pure nickel, giving the JS110 strings their authentic, vintage tone. Thanks to their round core, the strings are able to vibrate freely, resulting in a powerful sound. If that's not enough reason for you to choose Thomastik flatwound strings, then their long life, low finger noise and reduced fret wear will convince you!
