Pink Floyd's legendary guitarist David Gilmour has relied on GHS Boomers® strings since 1979, first using them during the recording of "The Wall" project. His preferred string gauges are 010-012-016-028-038-048 for his Fender Stratocaster™ and 010 1/2-013-017-030-040-050 for his Gibson Les Paul™. This endorsement from one of rock's most influential players speaks volumes about the quality and reliability of these strings.
Since 1964, GHS Boomers® have earned their reputation as "The Power String" and remain the flagship series for GHS Strings. Musicians across all genres have proven these roundwound sets can handle any playing style, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive rock performances. The construction features nickel-plated steel wrapped around a round core wire, creating the signature bright tone and exceptional longevity that players demand.
The innovative NitroPack® singles represent the latest advancement in string preservation technology. Each individual string is sealed in a nitrogen-rich environment within tear-resistant packaging, completely eliminating oxygen exposure. This process ensures that every string maintains factory-fresh quality until the moment you install it on your instrument, providing consistent performance and tone.
