Question flat wound string I.D.?

Sign in to disble this ad
Found an old E string that seems to be the answer to tone problem. It has light purple trim at both ends and has a very smooth feel. Any help determining the brand would be greatly appreciated.

GHS are the only ones I know of that use purple silk, and it sounds like you have a set of Precision Flats.
