The "flatwound" jazz sound: softness, definition, and control
Designed in the spirit of great jazz playing, the Thomastik George Benson Flat in GB112 Medium Light version is aimed at guitarists seeking a warm, mellow, and perfectly clear sound, especially on archtop, hollowbody, or semi-hollow guitars. Its Medium Light gauge offers a flexible feel while maintaining good tuning stability, practical for rich voicings and chord playing as well as single-note lines. The choice of nickel flatwound winding emphasizes consistency, reduces unwanted finger noise, and promotes a soft attack, ideal for traditional jazz, bebop, soul-jazz, or clean studio accompaniments.
