Re: [SurfGuitar101] Strings...

I once tried them.
They are excately what they say: a compromise
They don't have the twang of the roundwounds and they don't have the smooth
feeling and mellower tone of flatwounds either.

Wow, this has turned into a very esoteric subject indeed!
Let me interject a request for opinions: have any among you tried
half-round (also known as "ground wound") strings? These are round
wounds that have been milled to create a flat-wound profile. D'Addario
claims they are a compromise between the tonal "twang" of round wounds
and the smooth feeling and mellower tone of flatwounds.
Opinions?
