Thomastik 676657 George Benson Flatwound (12-53/14-55)12-53 Natural

Q: How do these strings sound with the guitar unplugged ?

I have mine on a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion III and they sound good unplugged on a hollow body arch top. They don't sound good on a dreadnaught acoustic though, a bit muddy though the bass comes out very well.

Q: I have a Gibson SG standard VOS re-issue. It's a solid body. I'm looking for some input. Would these strings work good on it?

My favorite strings. You may want to try the JS110 set on your SG. They play really in tune and last and last. I use these strings on hollow and solid body guitars. Good strings sound good and these are the best.

Q: Are the 2 treble (B,E) strings pure nickel ?

No, they are steel and these have a gold tint to them so I believe they are brass coated. The other four strings are nickel flat wound

Q: Bought some other ti strings suppose to be flatwound (adg all ok) but the e was not, still roundwounnd, are the ead & g all flat wounds? thanks

The EAD & G in the GB112 set are flatwounds. The E & B 1st and 2nd strings are regular plain strings like in any electric set. If your package contained a round-wound 6th string (low E), then contact TI and they'll send you the correct string for free. They're a great company, with a great product that many of us swear by (me included). And just fyi, the GB112's are flatwound, and the GR112's are roundwound. Good luck!
