I have them on my '52 Reissue Tele for better jazz tone and feel, and they do the job.
The strings do produce good tone but not worth the $21 dollars I paid for them.

These strings have a much warmer tone over the D'Addario flatwound Chromes that I typically use.
I think the tone I'm getting from this set of strings is quite appropriate for my hollow body, f-hole jazz guitar, but I moved to this set after having round wound 12's
I love the way these feel, but I miss the tiny resistance of the bumps that sing their own song when your finger slides along round-wounds.

I've heard of players using flat wounds of a very light gauge like 11 to play other styles (not traditional jazz) on a bright guitar like a tele with a maple fretboard or something, because they enjoy the smooth feel of flat wounds and the way these strings darken the inherent brightness of their instrument

The high B and the high E are somewhat bendable, but the G really isn't very easy to bend, so what's the point of sacrificing all that tone quality just to have lighter strings that you're not going to be able to do a whole lot with in terms of pyrotechnic bendy stuff
Even the wounded G doesn't bother me, it's pretty subtle you almost wouldn't feel it
