Help with identifying these flats...

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

I recently found a set of flats I had laying around and the original packaging is lost. Will appreciate any help identifying them for comparison purposes.

Standard length (34" scale), set of 4
The ball-ends are all brassy-colored metal (no paint), no silk wrap at that end, but dark blue wrap at the tuner end. They're pretty fat and high tension. If anyone may have some idea, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Bill

LaBella Deep Talkin Flats FS (standard) have dark blue silks, I can't recall the ball end.

Confirmed!

Just got an e-mail from THE MAN, Robert A. Archigian, Director of Sales for LaBella, and he said the same thing. I'm beginning to think that I'm going to find excuses to use LaBella's on everything I own. They are awesome; what great customer service.

By the way, they are holding up just fine so far in a through-body Warmoth.

Thanks for your response, too.


Bill
