That's what I have on the JD, Tom. Nearly the brilliance of the rounds, but not quite. Clearly more bite and treble than flats.

 

 

Hey Karl, have the D'addario's left any marks on your ebony board? I need to swap out the Sunbeams for something that won't mar the board, and remember liking those grounds...

Sure. Light witness marks. No gouging tho. The ground-wound finish is fairly smooth and non-abrasive.

 

Have the same strings on my Iby SR-400 fretted. Less finger noise, and I don't like too much briteness anyways.

depends on the tone you want.

 

l like Ken Smith's ML Slick Rounds (otherwise known as 1/2 rounds or ground-rounds). very similar tone to rounds, much easier on the fingerboard. Some don't like their feel, but most seem to get use to it as the strings break in.

 

mwah, mwah, mwah . . .
