D'Addario ECG24 Chromes Flat Wound Jazz Light Electric Strings (.011-.050)

Silky Smooth Feel. Warm, Polished Tone. Made for the Jazz Traditionalist.

For guitarists chasing that classic jazz tone—rich, mellow, and utterly smooth—D’Addario Chromes ECG24 flat wound strings deliver the gold standard. This Jazz Light gauge set (.011–.050) is renowned for its polished feel, tight articulation, and velvety tone that sits beautifully in clean, chordal contexts or warm lead lines.

Unlike standard round wounds, the ECG24 set uses precision flat winding over a hex core, followed by a unique polishing process that gives these strings their signature glassy texture and ultra-low finger noise. Whether you're comping through changes on a hollowbody or tracking in a low-noise studio environment, Chromes offer a refined sound with minimal overtones and just the right amount of tension.

Tuned to the needs of jazz, soul, R&B, and fingerstyle players, the ECG24 set is particularly loved by archtop users and those looking for a vintage voicing without the flabbiness often found in other flat wounds. The tension profile of the .011–.050 gauge offers solid intonation and sustain, while retaining enough flexibility for expressive bends and phrasing.

At Musicmaker, Chromes have long been a favourite for players needing consistency, clarity, and elegance in their sound—whether for jazz standards, bossa nova, or soul-infused sessions.
