Flattening Sunday


So I had this stashed away in a bag pocket somewhere. It had been there since late 2018. It's past mid-2019 & the DRs are still good to go. Some manufacturers make it a point for their products to last while others ride on their reputation & gave the durability factor a sub-standard treatment. 

Flatwounds aren't bright & crunchy, they are mellow-sounding, lots of warmth & the winning reference for jazz dweebs. I'm not a jazzer by any means but I enjoy that fast, slippery feeling on some days. They also make tapping a more enjoyable experience as all strings across the neck feel the same; no grooves under your finger tips for scratchy noises to happen. They last longer too, a definite plus for many of us.
