GHS Strings is not just an electric guitar string company – we're much more! We are the string brand inspiring you to play an extra encore. We are the string brand encouraging you to play harder, go longer. We are the string brand that's got you covered – whether you're playing electric or acoustic guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele and more.
Since 1964, we've been winding guitar strings in the same southwest corner of Michigan that gave birth to one of the most famous guitar brands. Though based in Battle Creek, we are global, but our values remain rooted in mid-western soil. We are fiercely independent – we are no-nonsense perfectionists believing in hard work, craftsmanship, and the power of music.
GHS Strings is a family of artists and experts built on tradition to help aid in the quest for personal string design and tone. To that end, we still use round core wire for much of our guitar strings and use some string specs decades old.

They start out at the bottom string at 8 thousands instead of 9. They bend real well when playing "licks" and chords are easy to play, even jazz chords. Next to Dean Markley these rock!

I've been meaning to try these forever...so long, in fact, you might consider it a bucket list item.Strongly suggested for metal, jazz, blues and any style you want some serious...bendability, if that's even a word. (Guitarists will get it.)I was warned my Vox Starstream might need a bridge adjustment even changing from my normal .009s. I'm happy to report it didn't happen (though it might on other guitars).No appreciable tone loss either, with the overall quality I've come to expect from GHS.

I really like these. They are a little lighter than a set of 9's but not as flimsy as Ernie Ball 8's. And, they feel like GHS Boomers, which just have a great feel for bending. The lighter strings save some wear and tear on my ring finger joint bending strings too. Try 'em, you may like 'em!I do wish GHS would do a multi-pack of these (5 pack or 6 pack) and that Amazon would stock this size regularly. The last couple times I tried Amazon there were only 3rd party options available and they were overpriced too. Thank goodness for Just Strings (juststrings.com) who almost always has what I'm looking for on strings, and usually at great prices.

I usually use .09 Boomers top wrapped on my Les Paul's and SG's to get a more slinky feel. So I ordered these thinking that maybe I could tighten the tail piece all the way to the body andstill get the slinky feel using these. I wasn't disappointed. They feel great,keep in tune and really last through a lot of bending. Great tone and great strings!
