D'Addario ECG25 Light 12-52 Chromes Flat Wound Electric Guitar Strings
D'Addario ECG25 Chromes Flat Wound Electric Guitar Strings — Light 12-52
The Standard for Warm, Smooth Flatwound Tone
The D'Addario ECG25 Chromes are flatwound electric guitar strings built for players who want a warm, mellow voice and a glassy-smooth feel under the fingers. Polished to a satin finish, Chromes have been the go-to flatwound for jazz, blues, and R&B guitarists for decades - and the Light 12-52 gauge keeps them playable for bending and lead work without giving up the signature Chromes warmth.
Polished Flat Ribbon Wrap
Each wound string uses a flat stainless steel ribbon wrap that is precision-ground and polished, eliminating the ridges of a roundwound string. The result is dramatically reduced finger noise, a fast slick surface for position shifts, and a smooth tone with strong fundamental and controlled overtones.
Construction
- Wrap: Polished flat stainless steel ribbon for a warm, mellow tone.
- Core: Hex-shaped high-carbon steel for tuning stability and consistent intonation.
- Surface: Ground and polished flat for reduced finger noise and a slick feel.
- Gauge: Light 12-52, balanced for both rhythm and lead.
