D'AddarioECG24-7 7-String Chrome Flat Wound Electric Guitar Strings
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Flat wound Chromes for 7-string electric. For players who want a smooth, low-friction feel and quiet position shifts on an extended-range guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 7-string electrics where round wounds feel too rough
- Players who want minimal squeak when sliding
- Anyone replacing a factory set on a seven
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 6-string guitars — the extra low string is wasted
- Players who want bright, zingy round wound attack
- Acoustic or classical guitars

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit any 7-string guitar?
They're built as a 7-string electric set. Confirm your guitar's scale length and that the nut slot accommodates the low string before restringing.
02How are flat wounds different from round wounds?
The outer winding is a flat ribbon rather than round wire, so the string surface is smooth to the touch and you get far less finger noise when sliding.
03Can I use these on an acoustic?
No. These are electric guitar strings. Use a set made for acoustic instead.
04Do I need a setup after switching?
Possibly. Any string change can shift neck relief and intonation, so check tuning stability and action after they settle.
