ECG24-7, based on the gauges of D'Addario's best selling gauge of flatwound strings with an additional  low B 7th string (.065), delivers a balance of smooth feel, warm/mellow tone and optimal tension.  Ideal for traditional jazz, rockabilly twang, R&B and some pop/rock styles.  Designed specifically for 7-String electric guitars.           

D'Addario Chromes are wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire which is polished to an incredibly smooth surface.  Chromes deliver a distinctive damped but tone-rich sound that only flatwounds can produce.  D'Addario Chromes are the world's most popular flatwound strings.

  • Ribbon wound and polished for ultra-smooth feel and warm, mellow tone
  • Environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh
  • Made in the U.S.A. for the highest quality and performance
  • String Gauges: Plain Steel .011, .015, Stainless Steel Flat Wound .022, .030, .040, .050, .065

 

Always in search of better string-making materials, D'Addario turned to 400-series magnetic stainless steel in the mid 1970's. Stainless steel wound strings offer even more brilliance than their nickel-plated counterparts, and the alloy is well suited for Half Roundâ and flat wound string constructions.

In 1976, D'Addario developed the Half Roundâ grinding process, which made available "the third kind of string". Each Half Roundâ string starts as an oversized precision round wound string and is centerless-ground to a smooth, precise final diameter. With a tone in between their round wound and flat wound peers, D'Addario Half Roundsâ offer the advantages of a smooth exterior string (reducing finger noise and fret wear) while maintaining some of the brightness of a round wound string.

The round wound XLS line mirrors the sets in the XL nickel-plated series, combining the popularity of XL round wound strings with the unique qualities of steel. D'Addario Chromes are made with precision flat (ribbon) outer windings and polished to a fine high-luster. Each Chromes string is wound and polished on the same machine, with the string tension remaining constant between processes. Long the choice of jazz and fusion players, Chromes are available in three popular gauges.
