These are the best strings that I have ever used. I was a strict Ernie Ball strings user until I saw these at a cheaper price and thought I should try them and was surprised. The power produced by these were clearer with better sustain. These strings seemed to wring out every bit of potential that my cheap pickups have and put them through the amp with authority.

Ok so I'm usually playing bass, and I was asked to fill in on lead guitar. Not my norm but did it well IMHO. Anyways, I'm accustomed to running 9s on my electric, and 10s for my acoustic. I took a chance on 10.5s because I was in a pinch, i.e. while practicing a few days before the event, my strings broke and local stores were out. I'm glad I did. Love their brightness as thar was what was needed for our set list on the lead solos. These sustain very nicely even when added to a reverb pedal, comfortable to play and don't knife edge my fingers much. Like I said, I use 10s on my acoustic. I fitted my squire strat with them, tuned up, did the trick. Great strings for the price, I'll even put them up against ddardios that I usually use, as all my other guitars are fitted with. Time will tell how long they last, as I stated before, I'm usually on bass. None the less, great set of strings, sound good, feel good and didn't burn a hole on my wallet.

You will always hear from a multitude of musicians about their personal preference in guitars,amps, stomp boxes, pickups, effects, and even picks. Well, that goes for strings as well. Theone relatively inexpensive thing you can do for yourself is to try different sizes and types ofstrings.Listen, who cares what Jimi or Jimmy used. Seek out and develop your own tone. Strings canhelp you do that. When it comes to the vintage sound there is pure nickel. Companies, in the50s, experimented with different metals but pure nickel was found to be the most pleasing,balanced tone, and easy on the frets too. In those early years electric players wanted lessdistortion also. Pure nickel produced less distortion as well.Well, things shifted from Nickel to steel strings. Two ideas were that either economics was thereason nickel was no longer wanted or the tonal shifts of the 1960s. A compromise was broughtabout and nickel plated steel strings were born.These GHS Boomers are most likely going to give you some warmth from the nickel plating alongwith a clean tone. If that is what you want. They can also be hotter dependent upon their blendof nickel to steel. These Boomers don't bend as easily as pure nickel but that is what you wouldexpect with a steel center. Also, nickel plated steel strings appear to not sustain as well as purenickel.I have tried both pure nickel and nickel plated. Indeed the pure nickel (all things being equal) aremore mellow, easier to bend and tend to give you a "vintage" tone. The Boomers tend to providemore of an edge. They will sound hotter and brighter on your electric. That can be fun, so muchfun, especially with a nice pair of P-90s on your guitar.If you use, or plan on using, a lot of tone-sucking effects pedals, going with the brighter, hotter,string like these GHS Boomers would be a good choice. Again, if that is what you are looking for ina sound. Search any guitar forum and up will rise from the thread-graveyard a ton of threads onstrings and how they can affect tone. Or not. Lots of opinionated musicians on guitar forums. Thisis why some people buy multiple guitars. A guitar for every season, so to speak, with nickel platedsteel on one and pure nickel on another.I have used these strings on a solid body Gibson Les Paul guitar and on a semi-hollowbody FenderTelecaster guitar. Slightly different sounds. Again, think about the wood, or lack of it, on the guitar.That is where some of the resonance comes from, along with the type of pickup, height of thosepickups and, of course, your playing style. Most serious musicians know that Jimi's, Jimmy's, andeven Eddie or Slashes tone is in their fingers.I like these strings and give them 5 stars because they are well made, sound good. I also like thein between gauge. They don't bend as well as pure nickel of the same gauge, but I knew that goingin, so no stars off for that. GHS is a good company and stand by their product. The Boomers comein 8s (Ultra Light) all the way to 13s (Heavy). So take your pick, try some of these strings andmake some hot music tonight.

GHS strings have never let me down unlike another popular brand that starts with D'A. Seller shipped on time and I received a day earlier than expected. Excellent.

Boomers saw me through my late 70s Cali rock , 80s hair metal, blues, 90s new wave eras. Both on Les Pauls and Telecasters. I'm not real picky about brands. Just feel and sound. I user their 0.10s on LPs. 9.5s on Telecasters.Ernie Ball is OK and I've subbed other reputable brands on occasion, but invariably this is the brand I stock and reorder. I'm in my country band era now and Boomers are still just right. They give me that crisp, toothy grip I like to feel and hear while the other frequencies are punchy and present.I haven't broken a string onstage for 30 years. I change strings at 3-4 weeks. 95 % of the time I'm using Boomers.I've tried coated, copper splattered, zero oxygen, silver infused, dream catcher breakthrough strings, and while most live up to durability claims, the consistency and feel of Boomers are still my choice for the price. I don't mind changing strings more often. No matter what the package says, I can't trust strings over 4 weeks old.

Leicht zu greifen und ziehen sehr schöner Drive.

Las uso para una afinación mucho más grave y son muy cómodas de tocar y resistentes. Se desafinan muy poco. Buena compra.

Great value for great strings.

Ottime corde ad un prezzo accessibile.Questo tipo di scala grossa da' un suono bello pieno, sembra anche che durino abbastanza

Ho sempre avuto delle Roto Sound o delle Fender Folk montate sulla mia stratocaster, però , leggendo le recensioni che promettevano una buona durata delle corde e un buon mix tra suono e impressione al tatto , mi sono fidato. Sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso della sensazione al tatto che ricorda tanto delle corde 100% nickel , nonostante il film che ricopre le corde. Anzi, il suddetto film migliora anche la fluidità di movimento lungo il manico. Il suono invece è abbastanza crudo e duro , se usato sui pickup a ponte, mentre sul pickup di manico ha un suono abbastanza cupo e profondo , sul Mi anche fin troppo , mentre il cantino è molto brillante. Sto ancora valutando queste corde sulla mia stratocaster con setup SSH (a ponte un Seymour Duncan SJBJ 1 /B e 2 Single coil texas special) , ma al momento mi sento tranquillo nel consigliare questa muta di corde . Aggiungo che ho mani che sudano molto eppure, dopo 3 settimane che le ho acquistate, le corde mantengolo la loro lucentezza e la loro affidabilità
