Thomastik-Infeld GB114 is George Benson’s signature flatwound electric set, designed to deliver the smooth feel and articulate voice associated with his sound. Built with pure nickel flat ribbon windings, these strings emphasize warmth, clarity, and a strong fundamental while retaining clear note definition across the neck.
Compared with many steel or chrome flatwounds, GB114 offers a more responsive feel and a supple playing surface that reduces friction and finger noise. The polished flat wrap provides a ultra-smooth touch, making slides, position shifts, and long passages comfortable for extended playing.
Tension is balanced across the set to support stable intonation, even response, and consistent sustain — qualities that suit clean jazz tones, chord melody work, and single-note lines alike.
