Does anyone happen to know whether Lenny Breau used flatwound strings, and what gauges?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Don't know the gauges.

Thanks.
I have been listening to his stuff on Pandora. It's fantastic!

I think his sound is most distinctly round wound sounding on anything I've ever heard, except for when he's playing nylon, which is distinctive in of itself.

As round and as light as they got at the time.

I loved Lenny's playing but never really loved his tone.
