Jazz archtop question
Anyone know what the very smoothest flat wound jazz guitar strings are or any recommendations. Also views on size/thickness of picks to get that classic jazz tone like Kenny Burrell et al

Flatwounds. D'Addairo Chrome are an easy to find starting point. Thomastik-Infield also makes a highly thought of flatwound.
Try a pick at least 1.5mm thick. I love D'Andrea Pro plecs. Last edited by mr. beaumont; 02-04-2023 at 07:46 AM.

I like the Thomastik Infeld jazz swing JS113 flatwounds.

Thomastik Infeld flats. Pricey for guitar strings, but they have lower tension per diameter and I like their sound on my electric archthop (DeArmond X-155).
Love their electric bass sting too.
