No self-respecting guitarist would call Gibson's reputation into question. With models like the Les Paul, SG, Flying V and Explorer under their belt, they've made some of the most iconic guitars of all time. In light of all that, it makes sense to trust your guitar strings to Gibson as well. There's no doubt that they put the same attention to detail into strings as they do into instruments. That makes these not only the perfect OEM replacement strings for your Gibson or Epiphone axe, but also excellent upgrades for any other guitar in your collection, too.
Before you jump right in and start browsing the Gibson string lineup, it's a good idea to get an idea of what you need from your strings ahead of time. For example, are you looking for a set with long, wailing sustain or something that's tight and precise? Do you like the raw, visceral feel of roundwound strings or the smooth, buttery surface of coated ones? How do you like your tone: bright and crisp, or a meaty growl? Figuring out the sort of string you're looking for now will make it that much easier to sift through Gibson's numerous offerings and find the perfect set for you.
The decision is yours to make, but that doesn't mean you have to go without a few suggestions. For example, if you're stringing an electric guitar and you want sharp attack with warm undertones, then a good choice might be the G700UL Ultra Light Brite Wires Electric Guitar Strings. How about the acoustic guitar: do you like yours nimble and responsive? The J200UL Deluxe Phosphor Bronze Ultra Light Acoustic Guitar Strings can get it there. Maybe you're just looking to replicate the legendary tone of Les Paul himself. In that case, the LPS Les Paul Signature Electric Guitar Strings are the perfect choice.
Just like their instruments, Gibson guitar strings are tried and true. It's hard, after all, to beat the high standards set by luthiers themselves. Choose the set that caters to your own preferences, and you can count on these strings to deliver gig-ready tone every time.
