Every acoustic guitar player is familiar with the experience of lifting up your hand for a quick chord change and hearing a loud unwanted squeak. It’s the bane of recording musicians everywhere, and while it can be reduced with technique, a set of the D’Addario Flat Tops Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings represent an effortless way for all players to clean up their sound! Constructed of a durable high carbon-steel core and a warm-sounding phosphor bronze wrap, Flat Tops are precision ground and highly polished, resulting in a semi-flat top. Besides the exceptionally smooth surface, this has the added benefit of drastically reducing unwanted fret-hand noise, making these strings an excellent choice for recording musicians and guitarists who simply can’t stand the squeak. What’s more, plenty of slide guitar players swear by flat tops for their slick, fast feel under a slide!
