La Bella 20PL Jazz Flats Electric Guitar Strings 11-50

The La Bella 20PL Jazz Flats are a favourite among jazz guitarists seeking a warm, smooth and articulate tone with the unmistakable feel of traditional flatwound strings. Manufactured in the USA using La Bella's decades of string-making expertise, these strings deliver exceptional consistency, long life and a refined playing experience.

Featuring an 11-50 Medium gauge, the 20PL set provides a balanced combination of comfortable playability, solid tuning stability and full-bodied tone. The polished flatwound construction produces a silky-smooth feel under the fingers while significantly reducing finger noise, making them an excellent choice for recording, live performance and players who value a clean, refined sound.

While they're a natural fit for jazz, these strings are equally at home in blues, rockabilly, country, vintage pop and traditional rhythm guitar styles where warmth, clarity and smooth response are preferred over the brightness of roundwound strings.

Why Choose Flatwound Strings?

Flatwound strings offer a distinctly different playing experience to standard roundwounds. Their smooth surface feels effortless under the fingers, reduces fret and finger noise, and produces a rich, mellow tone with a strong fundamental note and controlled high frequencies.

They're particularly popular with players chasing classic archtop jazz tones, vintage electric guitar sounds or a more polished, sophisticated voice.
