Gibson Brite Wires Review

My D’Addario strings review is one of the most popular articles here on BolesBlues. com. so I decided to crack open my Anvil flightcase and share more of my guitar strings experiences with you. Today, we’ll take a look at Gibson Brite Wires. These strings are installed by default on all new Gibson Les Paul guitars. When your Les Paul Standard is the guitar headstock shown on the Brite Wires packaging, you begin to get the idea that Gibson especially wants you to use these strings on that guitar.

Brite Wires are specially formulated to give your guitar a crisp attack, with the nickel plating adding warmth to the overall tone. These strings feature our Swedish steel “hex” core for added tuning stability. Brite Wires tune up fast, and hold their tone longer. No matter what style of music you play, you’ll hear why Brite Wires are the choice of professionals world-wide!

Says Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell, “I love my Brite Wires. They don’t break. They don’t rust. They never get out of tune. They have the perfect tone. Why change it if it’s working? I trust ‘em that much….”

Yesterday, when I wrote my Blues guitar comparison between my Les Paul and Clapton Strat. I put a new set of Gibson Brites on my Les Paul and I had forgotten how fantastic those strings sound on that guitar.

I like a bright, sheer, clean tone from my guitars and so the cutting quality of the Brite Wires to punch through the air into your ear is important to me.

The D’Addario 10s I was using on my Les Paul are a bit quieter and

slightly duller sounding and they are not as vicious as the Brite Wires

and all that means I have a new appreciation for the “brightness” in

the Brite Wires in direct comparison with the D’Addarios.

The Gibson Brite Wires are staying on my Les Paul for now. They have a

ringing sound, the strings stay in shape, and they are just as easy to

bend to the Blues as the D’Addario 10s.

I was using Ernie Ball 10-46 and decided to try the gibson brite wires, wow the sound is so clear and beautiful. From rock to whatever I'm sure you will hear the difference.

Comments about Gibson G700L Brite Wires Electric Guitar Strings - Light :

For the new guys like me who are tired of having a crummy sounding guitar but not knowing what to do about it. try these strings!

I'm running an epiphone sg with gibson burstbuckers through a fender tube amp. not a bad situation but still couldn't get an appealling sound. Was looking at replacing the epihone with a new gibson or the fender with a marshall but thought I would try these strings first as they had such good reviews and don't cost anywhere near as much as a new guitar or amp. bye bye gibson/marshall (for now)!

I've tried various sets of strings in the past. Of which, some were clearly more appealling than others but none clearly stood out or improved the sound of the guitar all that much. These gibson strings are a different story though. clear, powerful, slick. and cheap.

So if you're new like I am and having trouble getting your guitar to get a good rock/metal sound, give these strings a try.
