Was a GHS Boomers .09 - .42 user when I first started playing electric guitar. Switched to D'Addario 10s for awhile, and then varied gauges of Ernie Ball Slinky's after that for years. Switching back to Boomers to see how they hold up to my needs. They have a nice warm tone, fat bottom end, no mudding out. However they seem to not be as bright sounding as EB, (not as smooth a wrap on the bottom strings, and not as easy to bend on the top either). But GHS stay in tune better than the Slinkys for me so far and I use the whammy frequently on a floating strat stock trem. Also Boomers do not appear as prone to unwrapping and top string(s) breakage that D'Addario's were in my experience.

Great strings. Tried and true. Play these now from seeing ola englund playing these strings and I really enjoy it. Used to be a slinky Earnie ball guy but these cruuuush for metal.

These are my favorite strings. They articulate the notes greatly and hold their longevity longer than most strings.

I've only had them in for about a week and a half now but so far so good. Good feel, very affordable and sound good. I use D'Addario usually and occasionally NYXL. I'll give update in a few weeks.

*27 years ago* I started using GHS Super Steels, but they became harder to find as the years went on. So I switched over to GHS Boomers and haven't looked back. I use .010 - .046 gauged sets on my Fender Telecaster and Gibson SG. I use .011 -.049 gauge on my Gretsch G5120. They produce a great tone and good sustain. A brand new set settles in quickly without a whole lot of stretch and re-tuning. I tend to manually force stretch a new set of strings anyway. They maintain their brightness for a long time before starting to sound dull just before a string change. I do change strings often (as often as every week) depending on how much I play. I recently bought a 5 pack of D'Addario EXL110 on sale, but I'm not happy with them. I'm way too used to the GHS Boomers - to me, putting on a new set of Boomers is like putting on an old pair of just washed blue jeans that are fresh out of the dryer.

I rode 4 miles on my bike to sam ash looking for new strings, and i ended up stumbling on a hell of a set of strings. I came home and put them on my strat and then plugged into my amp, and they blew my mind. My distortion sounds great with these. They make very defined sounds, even the lower strings.
