I put D'Addrio Chromes 12's (flats) on my Strat, and wasn't entirely happy
with that either. However, they are really great on my Jaguar. I talked to
Rick Mills from the Volcanos, and told me he uses GHS flats (13's !!) on
both his Strat and Jazzmaster. After hearing the GHS endorsement by Dano
from the Nebulas, I may try those out on my Strat before going back to
roundwounds. But I'll also try the roundwound Rotosounds you mentioned Ivan.
Thanks.
