Do 325's Need Flatwounds?

[37012player]

Any idea on the age of your acquired vintage string stash???

Si........

I play Rickenbacker roundwound strings on my 325 and I am very happy with them. I do not like flatwound strings - maybe this is because I am not very much after the 60s´ sound either.

My string collection goes back to the turn of the last century. I'm saving them for someone special. Me. When people ask me, "How do I get that sound?", I tell them "It's the water" and hand them a map of Olympia, WA. This is apparently very helpful for everyone involved, as they seldom return with more questions.

Are flats the original speck john use?

apparently he didn't care what type he used, I personally think that rounds give a better treble sound over flats, so the must have done something special to get that sound.
