Thomastik-Infeld JS111 Jazz Swing Flatwound Light

General

Ever since the start of the last century, Thomastik-Ingfeld have been making high-end hand-made strings for several instruments. Many professional musicians wisely choose strings from the Austrian string maker. The Thomastik JS111 is a string set for semi-acoustic and acoustic jazz guitars. These high-quality flatwound guitar strings from the Jazz Swing series are popular because of their warm, mild sound and beautiful, yet powerful projection. The JS111 is a Light set with string gauges ranging from .011 to .047 inch. They are perfect for traditional jazz, yet thin enough for other types of music that requires string bends.

Thomastik JS111 Jazz Swing: 100% flatwound

Contrary to other string makers who grind down or press their roundwound strings, Thomastik Ingfeld uses flat wire to wind the Jazz Swing strings. The strings are subsequently polished smooth for a supple feel and to counter finger noise. The windings are pure nickel, giving the JS111s their authentically vintage tone. As their core is round, these strings can vibrate optimally, resulting in a powerful tone. Longer lifespan, hardly any finger noise and less fret wear are more than enough reasons to choose Thomastik flatwound strings!
