Vintage-Inspired Tone With Tin-Plated Steel and Polished Flat Ribbons
At the core of the P02580 strings are tin-plated steel hex cores, prized for their bright, focused tone. These are paired with stainless steel flat ribbon wraps, polished to a smooth finish. The combination produces a mellow, vintage-style tone with strong fundamentals and reduced overtones. Without the textured windings of roundwound strings, the polished flat ribbons offer a glass-like feel for effortless bending and vibratos.
Finger Noise Vanishes With Flat Ribbon Windings
The smooth surface of the flat ribbon windings effectively eliminates finger noise and squeaking. This makes the P02580 strings a top choice for jazz, blues and mellow rock styles where clear, ringing tones are desired. The flat ribbons also enhance note separation for articulate chords and single-note lines. Whether comping or soloing, these strings keep your sound clear.
