      I'll be interested in his response, too.

        Chromes are surprisingly steely and twangy when fresh, like definitely roundwound territory for the first month or so of playing, then they mellow out. But I like the sound of them fresh mostly. All of what I like about rounds and none of what I don't (low tension, ridges) and then when they die down I get sweet 60s tones when I mute.

          I was referring to the '72. Perhaps I should have used the singular.
