Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

I am a retired full time professional musician (TV, Recording, Concerts, Shows, Clubs) and GHS Boomers were all I used for 40 years. I am now only into recoding and weekend gigs. I've used various gauges over those 40 years for specific needs and I was never disappointed. I've used them on various Gibson's, Fender's and PRS's. I buy them by the box to make sure I never run out.

GB91/2 Boomers

By Rjake

from Midwest

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

My new permanent string set for my Stratocaster. I'm getting older and don't play as much, and 10's were getting harder to manage. 9's just don't sound as full, and with these you get a lttle bit more girth, especially with the wound strings. Perfect combination of flexibilty and tone as far as I'm concerned. The gauges are .0095, .0115, .016, .024, .034, and .044. I hope GHS continues to make them for a long time.
Well made string.

Awesome Strings

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

Having a heavy right-hand attack, I started using the 9.5's as a way to reduce string breakage. They never let me down in that area...but the added benefit is a fuller sound than 9's, and much easier on the left-hand fingers than 10's. GHS tone is consistent from pack to pack. Can't live without 'em!

Bending with tone

By grangela

from Sacramento

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

Great gauge- big difference from 9's especially when playing full 6 string chords. And you can still pull with pleasure...The GHS wound strings are brighter and hotter than the D'Addario of the same gauge set- I've tried them both.

A gimmick

By TheTruth

from East Haven, CT

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

You can't noticed a difference from 9's. Still good strings, but worthless making it 9.5. Even on an Ernie Ball Petrucci model through a Road King, I couldnt notice the difference. Just stick to 9's if your guitar is set up for them and 10s if they're set up that way

Perfect size strings

By Vector Artist

from Goffstown, NH

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

9.5 sounds better than 9s but doesn't kill the fingers like 10s.

Just right

By Reverse Snob

from West-central Wisconsin

Comments about GHS Boomers GB9 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings:

9s too thin and lame? 10s too heavy? This is the perfect compromise. They're playable, but they sound a bit more full than 9's.
