La Bella GJM-LE Gypsy Jazz Silk & Steel Strings, Medium Loop-End

The La Bella GJM-LE Gypsy Jazz silk and steel strings in medium gauge with loop-ends are designed for Selmer-style Gypsy jazz guitars with tailpiece bridges that require loop-end strings. This is the authentic string configuration for the instruments that define the Gypsy jazz sound, from vintage Selmer-Maccaferri guitars to modern luthier-built manouche instruments.

Silk and steel construction produces the warm, punchy tone with quick decay that Gypsy jazz demands. Medium gauge provides the tension needed for percussive la pompe rhythm and fast single-note runs up the neck. The silk filament under the wrap gives these strings their characteristically soft, rounded voice that distinguishes Gypsy jazz guitar from standard acoustic. If you play a Selmer-style guitar and want authentic manouche tone, the GJM-LE set is the right string for your instrument and your music.
