GHS Custom Shop Pat Martino Signature Flatwounds Medium .015-.052 Electric Guitar string set for electric guitar

General

The GHS Custom Shop Pat Martino Signature Flatwounds is a complete string set for 6-string electric guitars, designed for players seeking a full-bodied tone and a tight playing feel. With gauges ranging from .015 to .052, this set falls squarely within the range that offers more body and control than standard light sets, without becoming excessively heavy. These strings are made from stainless steel and deliver a bright foundation with a rounded top end, ideal for clean tones and dynamic playing.

Flatwound feel: less noise, more focus

Thanks to the flatwound winding, these strings feel remarkably smooth. Not only does this make them comfortable to play, but it also reduces finger and sliding noises during position changes. The result is a focused, even tone that lends itself perfectly to jazz comping, melody lines and warm chord voicings. Flatwounds are also known for their controlled attack and solid midrange, ensuring your guitar cuts through the mix beautifully without any harsh edges. A logical choice for jazz/gospel and anyone who loves a ‘smooth’ sound.

Custom Shop construction with hex core

The set is built around a hexagonal core. This provides a stable feel, consistent tension and a reliable response for both chords and single notes. The gauges are .015”, .017”, .024”, .032”, .042” and .052”, giving you a balanced set for traditional electric guitar playing styles. As you’d expect from the GHS Custom Shop, these strings are made in the USA, with a focus on quality and a consistent finish from set to set.
