Fine strings for jazz and for archtops
Mike245 20.06.2013
I have recently turned to the roundwound Jazz Bebpop strings BB113 by Thomastik Infeld for my jazz playing, having previously used their Jazz Swing JS113 flat wounds for this and the RP110 Power Brights for solid guitar instrumental work. All these are very fine and long-lasting strings with great tone and good playing comfort. The BB113 seem to transform the sound of high-end archtops, giving more brightness and character, with no loss of performance and tone; the .013 to .053 format of the strings give body to the sound whilst retaining left hand comfort. Highly recommended.

Expensive but nice sounding
Gabriel3017 05.12.2014
These strings are expensive, there is no doubting that. However in my opinion they are worth every penny. Many guitarists neglect the importance of string choice, and just go for whatever is cheapest. However when you have spent so much money on your instrument, why bother fitting the cheapest strings!? Also guitarists forget how spoilt we are with cheap strings, any other string instruments strings cost many times more the amount of a set of guitar strings! Anyway, these Thomastiks sound fantastic, they're made from a much tighter wrap of nickel than average strings so they're much easier on the fingers, also the gauges may appear odd at first, but actually when you play the guitar you'll notice how even the tension is across the set (a big problem for most brands of strings is that the treble strings are much flimsier than the bass strings/the bass strings are too heavy to play comfortably). These thomastiks feel perfect and the sound is just something else. They have a certain warmth and clarity that I've not heard in any other set of strings. They also have a nice silk wrap at the end of the string which does look pretty classy.

To crisp for my setup
Steffen Dyhr-Nielsen 08.05.2021
I tried these for 2 months on my DeArmond hollow-body guitar and Bugera V22 amp. On this setup the B and high E kinda live in their own space and are hard on the ears when playing with a clean setting on the amp. The other 4 strings are to crisp for the sound I'm pursuing for my playing style. These strings might be the perfect choice for someone else though.

like flats, love these
Pawcraft 12.04.2017
I'm a TI guy through and through.
I've using flats on all m guitars but lately started to feel like I could get more out of my all-carved electric archtop. This set got the job done. Thank you thomann for the bargain

Best String for Jazz guitar
HLee 10.09.2019
i'd always had a problem with low strings which are much thicker than high strings but Thomastik string has perfect balance between low strings and high strings. also it lasts very long (not longer than Elixer but still very long). Nice sound and balance! i am totally satisfied with this string :)

The best jazz strings
Bambus 01.05.2015
Thomastik fatwounds are my favourite jazz strings. This time I tried the Bebop that are roundwounds. I like them very much, but they are a bit brighter than the flatwounds so if you want the ultimate woody, dark jazz tone you better go for the Swings/flatwounds.

Quality is key
Bernobass 27.02.2024
You pay for what you get with guitar strings.
The consistency of thomastik is what we pay for. Great tone and texture, longevity of course and well suited for the job in hand.

Electric greats with nice acoustic tone
Anonymous 19.01.2017
These are great electric strings. I use them on all of my jazzboxes - they sound really fat, mellow with a little bite (rounds), even across strings, and even have a nice partly mellow acoustic tone (rounds).
Thaugh they are jazzlike strings, tried 0,12 bebop on my gibson les paul, didn't work - for classic tones that one needed lighter and brighter strings.
Manufacturing quality is second to none, durability is good, could be better if they where coated.

Great strings in every life situation you could think of :)).
Thomman service great as usual, products derivered in 6 working days as always, no complaints!
