Sadowsky Strings: the Best I've Ever Played

[bluewaterpig]

Last night I put a new set of Sadowsky flat wound 13s and I must say that their slogan "the best you ever played" holds true for me.

Great tone, balance, feel and tension all around. I've stuck with chromes for a long time and even tried Thomastiks (which were pretty good, but I wasn't thrilled with their endurance) but I think Sadowsky strings top both of them big time.

At about $15, which is what I pay for chromes, I think the price is more than reasonable.



If you're looking for a new string, I urge you to try Sadowsky.

Will you report back about their endurance...I'm always up for trying new strings.

[bluewaterpig]

Yes sir. I'm thinking that these will last a good amount of time.

In my experience, Chromes have had the best lifespan for my fingers.

The round wounds are good, too.

I think La Bella makes Sadowsky strings - I use La Bella Jazz Rounds and like them a lot. I wish someone compared them (and also with Benedetto strings which I think La Bella also makes)

+1 on Sadowsky strings! Don't think I'll go back to anything else for my electrics.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I bought 3 sets of Chromes in June so I am good until 2015...

I string change per year? Do you play every day?

@bluewaterpig
Before I made the post I looked on the Sadowsky site and clicked on the flatwound .13's and a message popped up saying no such item found..
So, to clear up my question... Where did "You" purchase the strings.
Google will not give me that info. Thanks;

I purchased them on the Sadowsky site, which is the only place they're sold as far as I know.

I think there's a glitch in the online store site because it isn't showing stuff that's normally there.

On a side note, I just purchased Jimmy Bruno 12s for my El Rey.

Snarky answers aside.. I think JHale sells them as well.. I couldnt get them from the Sadowsky site..

They are like 12$ at Sadowsky and 15$ at Hale or vice versa... I dont know what the shipping is like tho.
