GHS guitar strings are made on GHS' in-house string machines by their expert staff. Before they leave the shop, each string is meticulously inspected by hand.
Under high magnification, each string must pass a series of tests before it wears the GHS logo. Having been in the string business for 35 years, you can really hear their expertise and experience. It's no wonder GHS strings are played all over the world - from garages to 50,000 seat stadiums.

QUALITY:
For such inexpensive strings they hold up well.I've used them for years,though I've strayed a few times only to come back..
FEATURES:
The bright "slinky" tone when first installed is matchless,although I've had DiMarzio's that lasted almost a year with no noticeable loss of tone.But they stopped making them(boo-hoo),so I'm back to old faithful.I forgot how bright they sound when new
EASE OF USE:
Boomers sound great on my 1981 Dean Hollywood Z.
I use them for power chords,hard bends and mixolydian modes.Diminished,harmonic minor and pentatonic/diatonic scales sound good too.Been playing with a new effects processor(Boss GT-6)and the difference in strings is really noticeable on that baby.
VALUE:
You just can't beat the value for the sound even if they lose their tone a bit early.I have an acidic perspiration that corrodes these boomers quicker than some higher dollar strings,but,again,for the price they are u | |

| The one Irony is that these babys are bright, not what I would call boomy at all. Good match for that shimmery start sound or to ad some jangle to humbuckers | | Finish:

QUALITY:
Guitar strings don't last forever, but they seem to be good quality, don't have a tendency to break abnormally or anything.
VALUE:
Priced fairly cheap for such a good sounding string.
SOUND:
Some of the best sounding strings out there I think. Better than any Dean Markleys or Ernie Balls I've played.
STYLE:
Rock/Metal
MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
Wish I could say pro, but just a weekend warrior in a rock band
OVERALL:
Great strings for a good price. No secret coatings or nitrogen dips or any of the other bells and whistles. They last nearly as long as any uncoated string, cryogenic or not. I would suggest trying them. | |

| Overall, they are very good! Can't go wrong here.. they last long too and keep their tone.. they have a very silky feel to them when you first install them.. Good Tone!
comments on Quality: Excellent!
comments on Features:No Features.. they are just strings..
comments on Ease of Use: You need an IQ above 12 to install and use strings.. if your IQ is 11, please ask your local psychiatric professional for assistantce. Banging your head against the wall will only damage your crash helmet.
comments on Value: Good value for cost. Buy a bunch of sets to offset the shipping cost.
comments on Sound: ok.. this is where I want to say something. I tried a million brands of string before I tried GHS Boomers. I always use light 09 strings because I'm kinda wimpy in the finger department.. I was put off by the dumb dynamite exploding on the front of the package, but these strings are really great.. Good for everything.. I use them for everything from a rough Green Day punk tone |
