Best strings on the market
Best strings for my husband’s guitars. Great length, easy to use, and last longer. They bend and flex as they should. The tension is great!

Slick and easy to bend
I bought these on recommendation from someone I purchased an electric guitar from. He said it was what he uses on all his electrics. They are smooth and easy to bend with a good overall sound. I have two more sets of these in my shopping cart right now. Good quality strings at a nice low price.

Ok, for the cost..!
I put a set of these on my Yamaha Electric guitar.. They are OK. Maybe not the best, but then I didn't $25.00 a set for them, either.! Being so light, they are bright, and bring the highs right up front.! Maybe too much, but when playing a lead riff, I want my highs to stand out, and these DO STAND OUT.! I don't think I would want them on my Les Paul, or my Gibson, F-Body.. But they are ok strings, for the cost.. And on my daily player, ( An Epiphone Dot ) they are ok.. For day to day practice, and teaching guitar lessons, Yes I would buy them again.. Might try the next gage up, next time...

Been using these for years!
I use GHS Boomers on all my electrics... including bass guitars. There are other good brands for sure, but these suit my style best. They ring nicely when fresh and properly maintained, and will remain true to their original (new) sound for many weeks. Boomers are durable as well: I have broken very few strings over the many decades I've been playing... and those were always hardware/component issues. Buying them in a bulk pack sweetens the deal. Hard to find any electric guitar strings much less expensive than this and the low cost options are scary/bad (I only use cheapos as throw away's on brand new builds to get my initial alignments, otherwise they should never be used... not ever!). See attached pictures of a couple custom builds with Boomers slapped on!

Wow, what a difference!
So I have been using primarily D'Addario strings for the last 5 years and used Dean Markley for around 25 years before that. The other day I had my guitar set up by a friend and I forgot to order strings. He put GHS Boomers 9-42's on my Les Paul to my dismay but it was what it was and they felt pretty good so I was fine with it. When I got home and plugged it in I couldn't believe the difference in sustain, over all level and warm/bright extremely friendly sound I was getting from these strings. I'm old and set in my ways and really don't like changing what works but damnit man, these are some great strings for the price. I recently ordered two more sets for my Tele and Peavey. Haven't strung up the Tele yet but my Peavey sounds just as good to me as the LP did. Will definitely be using these going forward and may try the Nickel Rockers. Unless they don't stand up to the abuse I put them through, (bending) over time, these are my new "Go To" brand.

初めてghsの弦を購入しました。 ghsに張り替えたばかりは、ちょっと硬めな音かなと感じましたが、使っていくうちに腰のあるしっかりして、太い音になってきました。

Le utilizzo da una vita e su varie chitarre (Fender, Jackson, Ibanez..). Non sono conosciutissime, ma le preferisco alle marche più blasonate. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo; è raro che si spezzino, anche a distanza di varie settimane. Top!
