GHS Brite Flats 710 Light .010-.046 Electric Guitar set of strings for electric guitar

General

The GHS Brite Flats 710 is a 6-string flatwound set for electric guitar with a light (.010–.046) gauge. This gives you the familiar smooth feel of flatwounds, allowing you to play comfortably and minimising sliding and finger noise. At the same time, this is a ‘brite’ set: compared to traditional flatwounds, it sounds clearer and more direct, with extra definition in the attack. The strings are made of stainless steel, which contributes to a crisp, clear response.

Brite Flats: bright, yet tight and quiet

These Brite Flats are ideal if you’re looking for a tight, controlled sound that works well for clean playing, chord work and a neat, balanced tone. The flatwound winding ensures an even surface and a smooth feel under your fingers, which is pleasant during fast passages and position shifts. Thanks to the bright character of this series, you’ll still retain sufficient presence and articulation in the mix. This makes this type of set popular with players who lean towards jazz or gospel, but don’t necessarily want an ultra-dark sound.

Construction and gauges

The set comprises the gauges .010, .013, .017, .026, .036 and .046 inches. The strings feature a hexagonal core, which aids stability and consistent intonation. Combined with the stainless steel flatwound construction, this delivers a tight response and a solid feel when playing. As stated by GHS, these strings are made in the USA, with a reliable finish and consistent quality from set to set.
