D'Addario Chromes Gauges

Hey guys I'm just curious what gauge of chromes do you think would do well?

That would depend on so many different factors.

Are you a first-time flats user?

Here's what I did when I first switched from nickel rounds to chromes flats...
Based on the slightly stiffer nature of flats compared to rounds, I decided to start out with something lighter in gauges than the rounds I was using at the time. Since I was using 45-65-85-105 (D'Addario EXL165), my logical choice for flats were 40-60-80-100 (D'Addario ECB84). So far, these gauges seem to work very well for what I do.

Hope this helps.

yes I use light gauges e.g. EB extra slinky 40-95... and I'm thinkin about trying out D'addario Chromes 40-95 as well.. I've compared TI flats with Chrome's Light gauge.. and it seems that TI's are much lighter than them but all i can now are chromes..
