GHS Custom Shop Pat Martino Signature Flatwounds Light .016-.056 Electric guitar string set

General

The GHS Custom Shop Pat Martino Signature Flatwounds is a complete set of strings for a 6-string electric guitar, designed for players who love a full, controlled tone and a comfortable playing feel. With a gauge range of .016 to .056, these fall into the heavier gauge category, providing extra body, stable intonation and a solid response under your fingers. These strings are made from stainless steel and are ideal for those seeking a clear, musical tone without excessive string noise.

Flatwound: warm, smooth and less noise

Flatwound strings are known for their flat winding. You’ll notice this straight away: they feel smooth and produce less finger and sliding noise than roundwounds. As a result, chords and single-note lines come through clearly and evenly, with that typical warm, round sound that many jazz guitarists love. Even with amplified clean parts, the sound remains tight and controlled. This Pat Martino set is therefore an excellent choice for traditional jazz, soul and other styles where a clean, low-noise tone is important.

Stable core and Custom Shop quality

The strings feature a hexagonal core, which contributes to a stable feel and consistent tension across the entire set. The set feels medium, with gauges of .016”, .018”, .026”, .036”, .048” and .056”, suitable for a firm touch and solid tone production. As you would expect from the GHS Custom Shop, they are made in the USA, with a focus on reliability and a distinctive, professional sound for electric guitar.
