EFT17 flat top strings combine D'Addario's popular medium gauging with an exclusive precision polishing process for a smoother, quieter playing surface. They are great for recording or slide playing. D'Addario flat tops are round wound, then precision ground, leaving the outer surface smooth and semi-flat. This produces a smooth, flattened playing surface without sacrificing the superb tone and sustain associated with phosphor bronze strings. Flat tops greatly reduce finger noise and are excellent for recording and flat-picking.
