| | I'm surprised no one else jumped in here. This forum seems to be a haven for fans of the wound G. I don't dig it. I don't dig it at all. I dislike the wound G enough that I buy single .019s to put on my acoustic guitar and throw away a wound .024 every time I re-string it. That's my opinion. I can't tell you yours. Try 'em & see what you think. If you have multiple axes, maybe you can string up a "spare" guitar, i. e. not your gigging axe or the one you play all the time. At any rate, once you've given the new strings a decent chance, let us know what you think... SG
Hey - Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

| SG (11/20/2007) I dislike the wound G enough that I buy single .019s to put on my acoustic guitar and throw away a wound .024 every time I re-string it. You do??? I actually have to buy bulk packs of wound .024 strings for my dulcimers all the time, as I can't stand the .022 strings normally stuck in dulcimer string sets...

| | Been using wound G string sets for years. The tuning stability is much more consistent than with an unwound G. I used XL 115Ws for the last 5-6 years. I've given up on D'Addarios though after the last packs I bough had corrosion problems with all the unwound strings right out of the packs. I've switched to Dr. Ducks 11-50s and each set comes with a wound and unwound G string. Plus they cost less than D'Addarios.

| | Thanks guys! Me being a bassist venturing into the world of guitar I chose a heavier string because im going to naturally be heavy handed from playing bass, it's also why I chose the wound G set. The guitar player in my church band uses the XL 115's with the unwound G and he loves them. He plays a Telecaster too. A Squire Vintage Modified Tele Custom. {1972 Version with two humbuckers and vol and tone for each pup} I went with the Tele SSH Vintage Modified Squire. Here's a pic.... 
You gotta admit, this Strat is nice too.... 
This might be my next guitar!

Too bad I couldn't sent them to you as an e-mail attachment - I've got absolutely no use for them. SG

| | That's okay. I use flat-wound .024s, so Flat Tops and Chromes are the .024 singles I buy. I would cry if you threw away flat-wound .024 strings... Perhaps you could make a sculpture out of the strings you throw away? The price of metals is going up, so perhaps you could even recycle them.
