What type strings did Semie put on his guitars ?
I would think that would have something to do with his unique sound.

I'm guessing Mosrite strings since they also sold a lot them. Maybe someone knows difinitively.

Interesting thread!
So those Mosrite Lead Strings are:
.046
.036
.026
.016
.013
.010
Does anyone know if they were flatwounds? Did Semie market other guitar-string sets?

I have a set of these strings. How do I tell if they are flat wound?

Are the windings on the low strings flat or rounded?

Those are the same as my Ernie Ball 10-46's. No wonder I sound so much like the Ventures when I play.

They are rounded like the top photograph.
