Great-sounding, Reliable Strings for Any Style from GHS!

GHS has been manufacturing high-quality guitar strings since 1964. Professional musicians and amateur hobbyists who want great sound from their strings turn to GHS for a wide variety of tones. Whatever your tastes, from bright crunching rock to a mellow, bluesy sound, there's a set of GHS string that's right for you. The goal at GHS is to provide players around the world with strings that consistently exceed expectations. Each set set of these incredible strings is backed by decades of experience and GHS' unwavering commitment to quality.

Nitro-Pack singles for fresh strings every time

GHS's Nitro-Packs use a revolutionary packaging method to ensure each one of your guitar strings is brand-new and corrosion free when you open the pack. Each string is individually housed in a nitrogen-sealed packet that eliminates any oxygen from around the metal. This sterile environment protects the string from any contaminant and corrosive, and the tear-proof packets have a transparent side for help identifying each string before having to expose them to oxygen. All of this goes into making sure that when you put a set of GHS strings on your guitar, you're getting the freshest and most clear-sounding strings possible.

Boomers.. nuff said

Used these strings for all my playing and continuing gigging years. Been playing for over 25 + years. They are reliable and I hardly ever break them. Buy a set.. go, now.. run!

I suggest you try a set.

I was a big Ernie Ball fan but about two years ago someone gave be a set of Boomers. I have not looked back! Only string I ever buy now for all the obvious reasons: tone, reliability, strength etc. Or Maybe I've just been lucky.

Love My Boomers

I have been using GHS Boomers since I began playing more than 15 years ago. They're long lasting, have a nice break resistance, and has nice snappy tone. A pack of Boomers lasts me twice as long as other brands and when I apply Fast Fret, it's even longer! GHS are the best string brand on the market!
Rated 5/5

Booming!

I've used all the different brand strings over the past 34 years of playing. ghs Boomers with a 010 first string has always been my favorite.
Rated 2.5/5

Not what they used to be!!!

I've been using GHS Boomers almost exclusively for well over 30 years. I'm a professional guitarist and director of the Jazz Guitar Performance program at a large university. When these strings are right, they're wonderful with a great feel, fat tone, and quick responsiveness. However, the quality control in manufacturing has significantly faltered over the years. In almost ever pack, at least one of the wound strings sounds dead or won't intonate correctly, so I've started buying single strings knowing that I'll have to throw away at least one or two strings every time I restring the guitar. I've also noticed that the new strings aren't as responsive as those manufactured many years ago. GHS specifically solicits customer feedback and/or questions on their website, so I wrote to them several years ago asking if they'd reformulated the alloys for the Boomer sets. I never got a response. In the last few months, I've been especially unhappy with the sound and feel of the Boomers I've been buying. My suspicions about changes in the product were confirmed when I recently found a set of Boomers I'd bought in the 1990s. I put them on the guitar and it immediately came alive. These were 30-year-old strings!! Anyway, I know that things change with time, but I wish that it weren't so. I'll be trying lots of strings out over the next few months in the hope that another manufacturer is making a string that's comparable to the old GHS Boomers. Clearly, GHS has decided to cut corners and/or material costs.
