These strings with the wound third are great. They also make a 10-46 version. The 10-46 w the wound third are my all time favorite, I WISH ZZOUNDS WOULD CARRY THEM.

"ALL WOUND UP"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Round wound strings have brilliant tone they're good if you like glissening up/down the frets Flatwound strings could help someone starting out to play and have sensitive finger tips. Transitions are easier.
Sound
Responsive with light touch and good for various styles of fingering
Features
The wound 3rd string holds true tone longer,more "gliss"
Quality
Thick enough to hold tonality and thin enough that finger pressure is minimal

Musical Background:

1959 to present former pro/ retired

"Wrap It Up"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The only reason I did not rate this a 10 is the less "bendability" of the third string, which is wrapped, unlike most other sets sold.
Features
Wrapped third stays in tune. It's what I have been looking for over 40 years.
Ease of Use
Hey, you pluck the strings.
Quality
If you want to stay the G to sound balanced with the rest of the strings, use a wrapped third.
Value
I have had my set on for a year of steady playing.
Manufacturer Support
Unknown. Who would try to claim a warranty on a guitar string?
