La Bella Strings is taking a new approach to flat wound bass strings; the result is the LIGHT TENSION FLEXIBLE FLATS series. Using the same techniques that have made the Deep Talkin’ Bass Stainless Steel Flat Wounds the best-selling flat wound set on the market, La Bella has adjusted the construction to create a lighter and more flexible alternative to our classic heavier flats.

The Light Tension Flexible Flats deliver the same classic sound but without the floppy-string effect associated with other light tension flat wound strings. These hand-wound and hand-polished strings are equipped with round cores for flexibility, and narrower ribbon wire to achieve that unrivaled smooth feeling uniquely characteristic to La Bella Strings.

THE FUTURE OF COATED STRINGS ARE NOT COATED.

Welcome to the next generation of extended-life strings. La Bella Vapor Shield™ strings are like no other string on the market because the surface of the string is modified during the treatment process. Coated strings are now a thing of the past.

NO FLAKES, NO CRACKS, NO PEELING. NO MUFFLED TONE.

Using a highly sophisticated Ionic Vapor Process™ developed by Acoustic Science, proprietary compounds are activated in a glow discharge electromagnetic plasma, and the surface of all strings are modified. The result is a string protected from dirt, oil, residue, and tarnishing. Most importantly, string playability and life is extended without flaking or compromising tone.

THE LA BELLA VAPOR SHIELD™ DIFFERENCE. The technology behind La Bella Vapor Shield™ is unlike any other string. The entire surface and full-length of all strings are treated with a nucleated polymer vapor material that requires hours of complex prep and processing; no spraying or dipping. The results are unmatched:

TONE. BRIGHTER than typical coated strings AND non-treated strings. Unlike traditional coated strings, Vapor Shield™ plain steel AND wound strings are treated, resulting in even tone.

FEEL. The Ionic Vapor Process™ improves the string’s surface properties, resulting in SMOOTHER plain steel and wound strings vs. both typical coated and non-treated strings.

LIFE-SPAN. Lasts 5x longer than non-treated strings.

ENDURANCE. No flaking after extended play. Impervious to grime, tarnishing and oil residue.

Phosphor Bronze Wound & Plain Steel treated with Ionic Vapor Process™
Slick mutated surface is resistant to oil and grime
Tension: Light
String Gauges: .012, .016, .022W, .031, .041, .052

La Bella is proud to re-introduce one of the best-selling electric guitar sets of all-time, “The Bender” strings. Given today’s trend in capturing vintage tone, La Bella recognizes the need for a guitar string that epitomizes vintage by bringing back the same string played throughout the most influential decades of Rock ‘n’ Roll music

La Bella manufactured “The Bender” strings under the La Bella brand, other string manufacturers and the biggest guitar builders worldwide in the 1960s and 1970s, making it the most played string on the market. “The Bender” was featured in Guitar World Magazine’s 20thAnniversary Issue, “The 20 Who Mattered,” featuring players and companies that shaped Rock ‘n’ Roll.

La Bella has reached deep into their archives to bring back the same string construction used during that very era. As pioneers in nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings, La Bella has resurrected the exact formulation of nickel used in the original “Bender” guitar string. The result is the most authentic vintage electric guitar string on the market.

“La Bella has a rich history in the commercialization of many different types of guitar strings,” says Richard Cocco, Jr., President of E. & O. Mari, Inc. / La Bella. “Researching my grandfather’s construction manuals from the 1960s with my children and figuring out how we could bring back to life such a relevant product was definitely the highlight of the entire process. We’re very excited to invite guitar players to come discover ‘The Original Vintage’ with The Bender strings.”

“The Bender” strings are available in nine different gauges including B828 Ultra Bender, B942 Super Bender, B946 Lite Bender, B1046 Bender, B1150 Blues Bender, BJ1252 Jazz Bender, B1152 Medium Bender, B1252 Heavy Bender, B1052 Lite Top/Heavy Bottom Bender. All La Bella Strings are made in the USA with American Wire.

Developed in the 1970s, the Professional Series product line were the first classical guitar and lute sets to be offered in a wide variety of gauges. They have been acclaimed by concert guitarists, lutenists and prominent teachers and even used by such great luthiers as Del Pilar, Rubio, Papazian, Van Lennep and Gurian. The Professional Series have been the preferred strings by a whole generation of great artists including: Laurindo Almeida, Julian Bream, Mario Escudero, Maria Luisa Anido, Sabicas & Rey de la Torre.

The Professional Series strings are still the standard for excellence expected by all serious guitarists. No single set of strings can possibly bring out the finest qualities of every type of guitar or best suit the varied technique and styles of every guitarist. This product line offers some distinctive designs to perfectly satisfy the demands of professional concert performers.

A unique design, the 413P Studio set has clear high-density nylon trebles and golden alloy (80/20 brass) wound basses. The world’s first noise-free classical guitar strings, this set has precision polished basses. The painstaking process of polishing wound strings smoothens the surface of the wound string using a stone-grinding method. This helps in eliminating the harsh squeak when shifting positions or playing a glissando. Recently improved with a new construction for increased quality and consistency, the 413P Studio strings are the preferred choice of artists for both concert performances and studio recordings.
