A Medium Light gauge designed for swing, feel, and versatility
The GR112 Medium Light Nickel roundwound set aims for a very musical compromise: responsive trebles for articulation and dynamics, and bass strings that retain body without becoming hard under the fingers. Ideal if you are looking for electric guitar strings capable of staying expressive on jazz voicings while responding precisely on melodic lines and more dynamic passages.
The treble strings are made of brass-plated steel for a clear attack and good presence, while the wound strings offer a textured and characteristic sound, here in nickel roundwound for a lively response, natural sustain, and versatile tone.
