I have always hated the transition from picking out or making chords from the lower strings to the higher strings. You just hit that "G" string and it is really a noticeable tonal difference especially when recording. The wound "G" in this set eliminates that. I have read that all guitar string sets used to have a wound "G" string and while I understand some theories as to why that was changed to my ears I will never understand why. This set of strings is smooth and makes transitional sweeps across the fret board sound much more even. I find no real loss in tension when bending the "G" string at all as some have theorized as to why many guitarists don't like a wound "G" string. I say it's a theory that doesn't hold for me. Once you stretch these out a bit they hold tune great. They last a good amount of time if you wipe them after you play. The tone is even and full. I tried these out about 4 years ago and I will never go back to an unwound "G" string. These are simply great strings!Read full review

Not happy, 1st string broke as I was tuning up the first time. Either "new" old strings or poor quality. Certainly won't be buying this brand again, will be trying something else, a lot of competition out there.

I’ve used these strings for many years and have always gotten good service from every set I have had.

This is the set I use exclusively now. I was always bothered by the G-string on my electric guitars but not my acoustic....the difference, wound G. I have heard it described as that, the G string is a perfect storm of size, frequency and tension so, it causes microphonic problems. The wound G is an almost complete solution to this inherent problem with electric guitars. It probably wouldn't suit you if your style is a lot of monophonic, bendy, blues leads but, almost any other style is fine. And, of course, D'Addario is the choice for quality and price. Give a set a try...you might like it...they make 11's also.

I always have issues getting the G string in perfect tune and the wound third in this set of D'Addarios takes care of that problem. Not only that, they also sound great!!! When the guitar's perfectly in tune, they just ring out like nobody's business! Love these strings!!!
