PRESSUREWOUND™Pressurewounds utilize a highly magnetic nickel-iron alloy (Alloy 52™) run through precision rollers during the winding process, slightly flettening the final wrap. The result is a defined, yet mellow tone with less finger noise. Fretless players will love how these strings go easy on the fingerboard, while retaining that characteristic "mwah" sound.

CONTACT CORE™ BRIGHT BRONZE™The contact core design allows the core wire to have better contact with the bridge and soundboard, creating our brightest string. The end result is a richer and more defined bass tone with piano like clarity.
SIGNATURE BRONZE™Referred to by many as "Phosphor Bronze on Steroids," this is an excellent in-between string for those that want a brighter phosphor sound but think the Bright Bronze™ is too much. Cryogenically treated strings and special bronzed trebles help bring out the nuances of your playing, giving you that "signature" sound that is uniquely yours.

WHITE BRONZE™As with our other strings that use Alloy 52™ as a cover wrap, these strings are ideal for acoustic/electric guitars with transducers or magnetic pickups. Extra volume, clarity and shimmer are the benchmarks of this set.
INFINITY BRONZE™Looking for a coated string that is vibrant and lively? We coat the cover wire with a finely-regulated process called MST™, wrap them around the core wire, retaining tone while providing excellent longevity. Cryogenically treated plain strings complete the equation.
SILK AND STEELFor those that want a classical guitar tone and feel out of an acoustic, this is YOUR string. Silver-plated copper wire is wrapped on a silk and steel core to create a sweet and mellow tone, with a lower tension under the fingers.
SILK AND BRONZEOur special blend phosphor bronze alloy is wrapped over a silk and steel core, providing a warm tone with a sweetness to it. The lower tension of the strings is a joy under the fingers. These strings are GREAT for studio work!
VINTAGE BRONZE™Our warmest sounding string is created with the combination of core-to-cover ratio and copper/zinc wire, resulting in a warm and rich tone, perfect for those overly bright guitars that need to be reined in tonally.

HOW DOES WINDING TECHNIQUE AFFECT TONE?There are four types of winding techniques used for strings. The type providing the brightest tone (all else being equal) is the roundwound string. It is made with round cover wire wrapped around the core. Burnished strings are considered roundwound.
Next brightest is the rollerwound string. The round cover wire is crushed to a semi-flat configuration as it is wound around the core. Our Pressurewounds are an example of a rollerwound string.
Next, and “mid-bright,” is the groundwound string. This string starts as a roundwound and then ground by a centerless grinder which removes almost half of the round cover wire, leaving a smooth-feeling surface. Our Brite Flats are a groundwound string.
Finally, the flatwound string produces the darkest, or mellowest, tone. This string is made by winding a flat, or “ribbon,” wire around the core. The string is then polished smooth.
WHICH BASS STRINGS WILL FIT MY INSTRUMENT?ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! While GHS makes bass strings that are certain scale lengths, knowing the winding length of your particular instrument is more important. For example, a Hofner Beatle bass is a 30" short scale bass, but the winding length of the string needed is actually designed for a medium scale.
To find the winding length needed, measure the distance from the ball end of the string (installed in the bridge) to the nut. Then measure from the ball end to the closest tuner. The optimum winding length is between those two measurements.
HOW DO STRING MATERIALS AFFECT TONE AND FEEL?The hardness of common materials used in the cover wire of strings affects both the tone and “feel” of a string. With all else remaining constant, the harder the material the brighter the string. This explains why stainless steel produces a very bright sound and nickel, a softer material, produces a warmer sound. However, a hard material can be abrasive to both fingers and frets. At GHS, our magnetically active nickel-iron Alloy 52™ - used in Progressives and other strings - is softer and less abrasive than stainless steel but produces a tone nearly as bright. Common cover wire materials include (ranked by order of brightness): stainless steel, Alloy 52™, nickel plated steel, pure nickel, and for acoustics: brass and bronze. The core wire for all strings and all plain steel strings (both acoustic and electric) are made from tin plated Swedish steel.
WHAT IS STRING GEOMETRY, AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT STRING TONE?String Geometry refers to the ratio of the core wire diameter to the cover wire diameter. These two parameters can be varied to come up with the same final string gauge. With all else remaining constant, a small core-to-cover ratio generally results in a string with greater flexibility and brighter tone. A larger core-to-cover ratio generally results in a string with greater volume, sustain, tone life and durability. In addition, a larger core-to-cover ratio aids in retaining consistent tension and feel for down tuning or drop tuning.
