DAddario ECG24 XL Flatwound Chromes Jazz Light 11-50

Fantastic strings. Sound great on a Telecaster and also an Epiphone 335. I have never come across strings which last as long as these do, so they're worth the extra initial cost. Also, because of the way they're made the wear on guitar frets is considerably reduced when bending strings such as in country music and blues. Check out Kenny Vaughan's guitar sound in Marty Stuart's group and you'll see what I mean,. He uses flat wound strings all the time.
