Thomasik-Infeld Plectrum - Medium Gauge - want to try a set?
Hi everyone --
I tried the Thomastik-Infeld Plectrum strings a couple of times on a guitar, and they weren't quite a fit. The tone was lovely -- I found them to be very mellow, however projection was not pronounced, almost too quiet for my style of play. I play bare flesh finger style, and was finding I had to attack with much more energy to hear the notes distinctly. If I played with a flat pick, or finger picks, or nails, I suspect I would be keeping these and buying more -- but, alas, such is not the case. And yes, I installed these round core strings correctly, and my experience included the plain strings also. So -- as I tend to buy a few sets of strings at a time to reduce shipping costs in case I like a string, I have (2) sets available. If you have not tried these on your guitar yet, and would like to, message me, as a courtesy to those of you who haven't taken the plunge yet to try these out for yourselves. (1) set per member. Please, if you use these strings currently, please chime in to characterize the tone, however the intent is to reduce the cost to others who have not ever used the Plectrums on their guitar. Not really a contest, however it would be nice to hear a story and description of the guitar you intend to try them on. Let me know! -a.h. Last edited by AH Acoustic; 08-13-2022 at 12:20 PM.

Well I literally just bought a Larrivee P03 parlor from a fellow AGF member today (should arrive Wednesday). It has a 24” scale so I would love to try a high quality set of mediums on it.

Would love to try a set and don’t mind reimbursing you for them. Been meaning to try them. I could put them on either my H13 or my SC 000. Both are going to be wanting a new set pretty soon.

Good folks responded ahead of me. I’ll buy some and let you know what I think. Thanks for offering them up.

I think they’re amazing strings on the right guitar. They sound sublime on my Martin Simpson cause it’s so lightly built. I doubt they would work on my Taylor Dan Crary…. Have you tried the Spectrums? They’re a little closer to a standard 80/20…but better!
