Thanks for the tips...
I picked up a few sets of the chrome 12s. I put one set on a danelectro hodad I
bought off ebay last week. I had to put a quarter turn in the truss rod. Anyway,
the hodad was sent with some ultra wimpy strings...felt like 9s or even 8s if
there is such a thing. I can't believe the difference in sound. The bridge
pickup sounded really crappy before and I wasn't so stoked on the
purchase(although I thought it had a nice neck for the price). With the chrome
12's it sounds 100x better. Can't wait to put a set on the Jag. The only
difference I noticed in playability was the wound third, which is a bit of a
burn to bend, especially at the second fret.

Hi GG,
I got 0.12 on my Jaguar, which I think is thick enough. Anyway there is
no tonal improvement when using 0.13 (IMHO)
Also bear in mind that you might have to adjust your tussrod a bit,
since the tension of d'Addario chrome flatwounds is a lot more then the
usual roundwounds.
IMHO a roundwound looks thicker then a flatwound, but once you are
playing them, they don't feel that different qua thickness. Flats are
always a bit more stiff, so you have to get used to them, especialy if
you do a lot of bends. But 0.12 is really heavy enough for a Jag. The
low E is a 0.52 which is quiete a thick string.

I have a string question. I usually play Dean Markley blue steel lthb
(10-52) strings on my strat. Anyway, I just aquired a Jag(to give my
small hands a break) and I'm wondering whether to go with 12 or 13
flatwound chromes. 13 sounds really thick to me, but I seem to get the
impression that you can go a bit thicker with a flatwound. Is this the
case?
Thanks,
CG
