wound 3rd G string
i just changed strings on the electric... finally finished the ernie ball strings that my friend gave me when he gave me the guitar. i swapped them out for a set of stringjoy strings (made here in nashville). what an incredible difference! absolutely love them. a lot more life in these than the other strings i've used.
this set has a wonnd 3rd, so the G string feels like a thinner D string. there's a subtle change in the tone that i quite like, especially when playing above 12th fret. they also have a flat wound 3rd i might try some time.
has anyone else tried round or flat wound G strings? if so, what did you think?
here's the set i got... bought a 3 pack to get free shipping.

you can chat it up with the owner if you need help picking a set... easy to build custom sets for those who want to drop tune. i get all my steel strings from these guys.
Hey @Jason Smith I've heard a lot of great things about stringjoy but I've never tried them. I'd be curious to know how the wound G string interacts with the nut, especially on a Gibson style guitar.
