Description
If you love the snap of round wounds but your frets (or fretting hand) don’t, the ENR71 set splits the difference. D’Addario winds these with pure nickel round wound wire, then precision grinds the outer surface down to a semi-flat finish. What you’re left with is a string that still moves and responds like a round wound under your fingers, but feels noticeably smoother across the fretboard and against your palm on those muted grooves.
The exclusive Half Round heat-treating process is what keeps these from going dull and lifeless. It locks in extra brightness so the set doesn’t lose its edge just because the surface has been ground down — you still get that round wound sustain and top-end sparkle, just delivered with less finger noise and less string squeak on slower passages.
Gauged 45-100, this is a standard, versatile set that works across a wide range of playing styles, and it’s built for long scale basses with up to a 36 1/4 inch scale length. Made in the U.S.A. on D’Addario’s precision-controlled winding machinery, so the set you buy today performs the same as the one you buy next year.
