Stringjoy Flyers FR1048 Balanced Light 10-48 Gauge Flatwound Stainless Electric Guitar Strings

In the words of Stringjoy:

A New Standard for Old School Tone.

Through years of obsessive design and meticulous real-world testing, we've dialed in Flyers with everything players love about flatwounds—their smooth feel and warm, round tone—while adding something that they're often lacking: clarity, balance, and real versatility. Jazz, rock, indie, clean, driven, traditional, or totally out there – with Flyers' full, articulate voice, it's all fair game.

They feel fast under your fingers, sit perfectly in a mix, and respond evenly from string to string. Available in four sets featuring our tried and true approach to balanced tension, you'll find Flyers in gauges that'll be familiar to guitarists of all stripes, including a purist-preferred 12-52 and a shredder-friendly 9-42.

If you're looking for old-school tone without compromise, give Flyers a look.

What makes Flyers Soar:
