Flatwound guitar strings for smooth feel and mellow jazz tone.
Gibson Flatwound Electric Guitar Strings use flat, stainless steel ribbon wire that is wound tightly. This makes each string feel smooth when you play. The flatwound design stops finger noise, so you hear only the notes. These guitar strings give a mellow, rich sound that works well for jazz and blues. Each set is tested by Gibson’s master luthiers and used on custom archtop guitars in Nashville. Two gauges are offered: ultra-light (.011–.050) and light (.012–.052), so you can pick the best size for your hands. Flat stainless steel wrapping gives your playing a warm tone and stops buzzing. If you want less squeak and more smooth playing, these strings help every note sound clean.
Flatwound Build by Gibson Cuts Down Finger Noise
Jazz and blues players will notice how quiet these strings sound. The flat ribbon wire means you won’t hear squeaks or extra sounds when your fingers move. Stainless steel wrapping gives your notes a mellow, rich feel. You can slide and bend notes without rough spots. Each set is tested by Gibson experts, so you know it’s ready for stage or studio. Choosing these strings means every chord rings out clear, and your solos sound smooth. You get less noise and more music, making every practice or show easier and more fun.
