Description
The ECG25 set is D’Addario’s Chromes line in a Light gauge (.012, .016, .024, .032, .042, .052), built for guitarists who want the classic flatwound experience without heavy string tension underhand. Instead of round wrap wire, these strings use flattened stainless steel ribbon that’s buffed to a glass-smooth finish, so your fingers glide across the fretboard with none of the drag or squeak roundwounds produce.
- Plain steel .012 and .016, Nickel Wound .024, .032, .042 and .052
- Flattened, polished stainless steel ribbon wrap for a slick, ultra-smooth playing surface
- Warm, mellow, damped tone with tighter tension suited to traditional jazz and vintage-style playing
- One of D’Addario’s best-selling flatwound sets and a favorite among jazz guitarists worldwide
- Sealed in corrosion-resistant packaging so every set arrives fresh
- Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. on precision, digitally controlled equipment
That polished ribbon construction is also what gives Chromes their signature voice: a rounded, muted attack with less string noise than a wound roundwound, and enough sustain to keep chords sounding full without becoming bright or harsh. It’s the tonal character behind countless classic jazz and blues recordings, and it works just as well on hollow-body archtops as it does on solid-body electrics.
D’Addario has built its reputation as the world’s largest string manufacturer on this kind of consistency, and the ECG25 set is no exception – every string is produced to the same tight tolerances, set after set, so your tone stays predictable from one restring to the next.
