Really weird strings... am I missing something?
Il Grande Silencio 03.03.2020
Here's the thing. These are called Jazz Guitar strings, and there is a picture of a hollow bodied guitar on the front. I tried these on a Tele and I really really didn't like them. Primarily they are the most unbalanced string I have ever encountered. The difference in volume between the D and G string is really pronounced. They are really stiff. Just a note the unwound strings are a gold colour. The wound strings are quiet and the unwound are much louder. The unwound strings are really rigid. It wasn't a pickup angle adjustment as other strings don't have this effect.
I wonder if I'm missing something. Are these 'Jazz' strings meant for specifically 'Jazz' guitars? If so there is no explanation either on the website or packaging. And besides all sorts of Jazz guitarists use Teles - Julian Lage?
I really want to like Thomastik. I like that they are German made and have a history of making strings for orchestras etc. But the product just seemed really weird and just... no.
