Infeld 12 Flat-Wound 12-String Electric Guitar Strings
When Rickenbacker introduced its first electric 12-string guitar in 1963, Thomastik-Infeld strings quickly became the du jour. Famed guitarists like Pete Townsend, George Harrison and Roger McGuinn used Infeld 12 electric guitar strings on their 12-string Rickenbacker 360s and were adamant the flat-wound design was pivotal for the sweet, haunting tone. Guitarists of the 2020s can recreate the sound that inspired them with Thomastik-Infeld IF210 guitar strings from Strings and Beyond.
These strings are still handmade following the same specs as the original Infeld 12s. The pure nickel wrap wires are flat-wound for a sound that is punchy yet warm and jangly yet balanced. A smooth feel and zero string noise mean every overtone twinkles through the mix. The gauges were chosen for optimal playability and neck tension so you don’t need to constantly tweak and turn.
