Flatwound Acoustic Guitar Strings?

yup.. same here with me, I fondly remember the smoothness of flatwound...

ligh PB

lots for electric..not much for acoustic

I remember groundwound bass strings.also called half-as..err half-round :0

Old thread, yes I know, and I'm a new guy here too, but I think there are some flat wound strings that sound pretty darn good on an acoustic guitar.

I started using flat wound strings on my acoustic guitars because I really hate string squeak.
At first I was using D'Addario Chromes, they are flat wound strings that are intended for electric guitar and favored by jazz players.
I next tried D'Addario Flat Tops, which are ground phosphor bronze strings. They had more of an acoustic guitar sound flavor than the Chromes but they were not smooth enough and still had string squeak.
Next came Galli Jazz Flat acoustic guitar bronze 80/20.
These Galli 80/20 bronze produced a nice warm tone and the string surface was much smoother than the D'Addario Flat Tops.
The Galli were my favorite acoustic flat wound strings for awhile and I've tried all three available string gauge sets (AJF1047, AJF1150 and AJF1252). The latest flat wound I tried was the Dogal Nightclub V25. These 80/20 bronze flat wounds have a round core and even smoother surface than the Galli. IMHO the Dogal last longer and sound better than the Galli and are the best flat wound acoustic guitar strings I've found so far. However, Dogal Nightclub strings are pricey and are about a sawbuck more per string set than the Galli, so unless there is a sale, I'll continue using the Galli strings.
