D'Angelico Electrozinc Jazz 10's Extra Light Set di corde 10-47

Having acquired a D'Angelico Excel Style B Throwback I was intrigued with the recommended strings described as Electrozinc. These strings attempt to recreate the zinc coated Bethanised steel strings originally made for John D'Angelico in collaboration with John D'Addario in the late '30s. The 12-52 set suited the guitar and worked well with the Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith floating pickup. The feel and response I wanted to share with my Gretsch G2420 archtop and having tried other strings unsuccessfully found the 10-47 gauge just right. These are now my strings of choice and will also be fitting them to my Ibanez AS73 hollow body guitar. They are very smooth and responsive so I see no need to buy any other than D'Angelico Electrozinc in future.
