GHS Brite Flats 700 Extra Light .009-.042 Electric Guitar set of strings for electric guitar

General

With the GHS Brite Flats 700, you’re getting an extra-light string set for electric guitar that combines the best of both worlds: the comfortable, quiet feel of flatwounds and a strikingly bright response. Thanks to the flat winding, your fingers glide smoothly over the strings and you’ll hear less sliding and finger noise, making them ideal for studio work, clean parts and tight rhythms. The set is made from stainless steel, which ensures a clear attack and a crisp, defined tone.

Bright flatwounds for versatile use

Whilst many flatwounds are best known for their warm, rounded sound, the Brite Flats have been specifically developed to provide more ‘bite’ and presence. This makes this set appealing to players who want the smooth playing feel but don’t want to compromise on articulation. Think of jazz and pop guitarists, but also funk-style clean parts or tight chord strums where definition is key. Thanks to the extra-light tension, the set also plays easily, which is pleasant for bends, vibrato and longer playing sessions.

Construction and gauges

This 6-string set features gauges of .009, .012, .015, .022, .032 and .042 inches – a popular .009–.042 combination with an accessible feel. The strings feature a hexagonal core, which contributes to stability and solid intonation. The stainless steel flatwound construction provides a crisp response and a smooth surface. As you would expect from GHS, the strings are made in the USA, with consistent quality and finish.
