Are ther 2 kinds of TI Jazz Flats?

[Jim Ingraham]

So, earlier this month I picked up a set of JF324's for my new (to me) Mustang and absolutely loved the tone and tension. I think I paid around 70 bucks or so shipped. I liked them so much I decided to get some for my P which is currently wearing Chromes. A google search took me to Amazon where the best price was 44 dollars but the packaging looked different and they ship from UK. Shipping was only 6 bucks, so 53 with tax. Estimated shipping time was 3 weeks but they arrived today, one week after ordering. So what's the deal here? Are these ones in the blue pack lesser somehow? Old stock? They feel and sound the same. At any rate, my P has never sounded so good!

Different scale lengths.

JF324 = 32" scale. JF344 = 34" scale, JF364 = 36"...

"JR" = "Jazz Round"

Yellow pack is newer, I think, but I doubt they'll go bad in the pack

Two different package designs, but as long as they have the same model number on them, what's inside would be exactly the same.

For example, JF344 = JF344 regardless of which packaging.

I'm wondering why the discrepancy in price then?

Because in the case of the two in the photo, one is JF324 (short scale) and the other is JF344 (long scale).

no, the actual reason is that the yellow package is for USA market, the blue one is for EU market.

nothing special about it!

yes, they are two different models, but the price is usually the same. being produced in EU, they cost less here (in Italy a set costs 40€, usually, exactly as the D'Addario Chromes, sometimes less!).
