Gauges: 11-15-19w-25-35-47
Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing JS111 strings offer the same legendary flatwound feel and clarity as the lighter JS110 set, with slightly increased tension and a fuller tonal response for players who want more substance under the fingers.
Built on a true round core, JS111 strings vibrate freely and evenly, resulting in a smooth, supple feel that remains noticeably more flexible than many traditional flatwound sets. The highly polished pure nickel ribbon windings deliver a warm, balanced tone with excellent note separation and a refined top end that never feels harsh.
With a modest step up in gauge, JS111 strings provide added body and depth while preserving the articulate, responsive character Jazz Swing sets are known for. Silk-wrapped ball ends help stabilize the winding and contribute to long string life and consistent performance.
Like all Jazz Swing sets, JS111 includes a wound third string, supporting balanced feel and smooth tonal response across the set.
Why players choose JS111:
-
Slightly higher tension than JS110 for added fullness
-
Warm, smooth flatwound tone with clear definition
-
Comfortable feel thanks to round-core construction
-
Ideal for jazz, chord melody, and clean electric styles
JS111 is a popular choice for players who like the Jazz Swing sound but prefer a bit more resistance and tonal weight than a light-gauge flatwound provides.

Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing Strings
These are great strings. Smooth, well balanced with gret tone. They are well made. I have tried several other flat wounds but I'm alway disappointed with the low E string; which always sounds "boomy" and out-of-balance to my ears. These are not cheap, but well worth the cost. And Gimmesomestrings is the best place to buy them. The service is second to none, and they have fast shipping. Jason makes a great place to do business. Buy these in the gauge you prefer, you won't be sorry.
