D'ADDARIO CHROMES
Ultra Smooth Flat Wound Electric Guitar Strings
D'Addario Chromes are probably the smoothest and slickest guitar string you can find and we've got them here at Guitar String depot! They look and feel great on your guitar, let you play fast and smooth with essentially no finger noise. That's because Chroms are wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire which is polished to an incredibly smooth surface. But the difference goes deeper than the surface. Each wound string has a double winding. They start with a hexagonal core wire, then a nickel plated steel flat ribbon winding is put on first, as an underwinding. Then they wrap the outer stainless flat ribbon winding over it. Both windings are applied and polished while the string remains mounted in the same winding machine, under constant tension. This produces a string with extra flexibility for enhanced vibration characteristics, a stronger magnetic cross-section, and a super smooth feel. The end result is a smooth playing string with mellow tone that has made it the choice of Jazz and Fusion players.
All string sets feature bare first and second strings and a flat wound third string. Of course, the remaining, heavier strings are all flat wound.Their metallurgy and magnetic characteristics give them a super warm and mellow tone. D'Addario Chromes are the world's most popular flat wound strings.
