Product Overview
Features
- Tin-plated plain steel trebles (E, B) — improved corrosion resistance and a slightly warmer, softer treble character than brass-plated versions
- True flatwound construction — glassy-smooth polished nickel winding over a round core on the G, D, A, and low E
- Perfect fundamental-to-overtone balance for traditional jazz; mellow, powerful tone that many players say improves with age
Description
The Thomastik-Infeld JS110T is a tin-plated-treble variant of the legendary JS110 Jazz Swing extra-light set. The wound strings are identical to the standard JS110 — a true flatwound (not ground wound or compressed) with polished nickel wrap wire drawn over a round core, delivering the glassy-smooth feel and mellow, articulate voice that defines traditional jazz tone. The difference lies in the plain E and B trebles, which are tin-plated rather than brass-plated. The tin coating offers improved corrosion resistance and a slightly warmer, more sympathetic treble response, better matched to the mellow character of the flatwound strings below.
Designed specifically for semi-acoustic and acoustic jazz guitars, the JS110T delivers the same balance of fundamental to overtones the Jazz Swing line is famous for: warm bass definition, bell-like treble clarity, and a silky transition from open chords to bar chords. Tonal life is remarkably long — many players report that the sound actually deepens and matures with age. At .010-.044 with a wound G-3rd, this is the lightest gauge in the range, well suited to players who want the fluid feel of an extra-light set with a treble voice tuned to complement the flatwound low end. Made in Vienna to Thomastik-Infeld's century-old standards.
