SIT SL1046 Silencer Semi-Flat Light Electric Guitar Strings 10-46

I have played flat wound bass strings, and heavy flat wounds on my jazz archtop in the past, so I guess I had some expectations.
The tone of these strings is fine, but the smoothness leaves a lot to be desired. They feel sharp like fish scales as I slide low to high. Regular round wound strings in this light gauge actually feel smoother to me. They are installed on a 1974 lawsuit Les Paul that I just set up with a new fingerboard and frets. I will likely play these for a couple more weeks, just for the heck of it, and maybe I will hit them with some 2000 grit and wax before I toss them, just for fun, but I likely won't be buying another set in the future.
Oh well, they were not expensive, so the experiment isn't a huge disappointment. Just "meh".

The "roughest" feeling of the three brands I tried. Stayed in tune better than the GHS. Least expensive. Most "metal" sounding. Least "noise reduction" of the three I tried. Easily an affordable string that does reduce some noise and does stay in tune.

I bought a couple packs pf the SIK semi flat guitar strings, put them on a 335 semi hollow body Has great feel and tone at a low price. will buy more Thanks Thomas
