Thomastik-Infeld JS113 Jazz Swing Flatwound Medium

General

Say flatwounds, and seasoned jazz cats will yell Thomastik! The Austrian brand is renowned for their high-end hand-made strings. The JS113 is a string set from the Jazz Swing series and is specifically designed for semi-acoustic and acoustic jazz guitars - the big hollow-body models, whether electric or not. These flatwound guitar strings are characterised by a warm, loud sound. With string gauges from .013 to .053 inch, the Thomastik JS113 string set is the thickest from the series and extra full as well as mellow sounding. Extra thickness entails higher string tension, so more sustain and a tighter sound.

Thomastik JS113 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 JS113s 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!
