They are especially appreciated by the guitarists playing rock.

The round wound strings have the following characteristics:

• Bright in tone
• Richness of the sound

2 - Half round polished wound sets

They are generalIy appreciated by the quitarists playing jazz, they are offered in 5 tensions.

In 1959, Savarez initiated the half-round polishing process. This polishing gives the string a pleasant touch, it eliminates the left hand squeak or the pick noise. The strings offer the same characteristics than the round wound strings (please see above).
