GHS boomers, what can I say . I've tried them all , you name it , every big name brand, and almost all the boutique brands, and time after time I return to GHS. Simply put their resonance is second to none as well as lasting longer on every guitar I have despite the savage amount of abuse doled out on the Floyd. Remaining clean, clear and sparkly new even when strung for a long period of time, yes ladies and gents, it is indeed like an angel crying on your fingertips as you soar effortlessly into the stratosphere. Are the other bands bad? no of course not , it's just that GHS are in my honest opinion, are far better value for money in the long run. Amazing how many people stick to the same brand without ever changing- like listening to nothing but synth pop without ever hearing Andy Timmons - how will you ever find out unless you buy and try - and when you do and they are everything you ever wanted I'll happily send you my address so you can send me an endless supply of tequila for being so good to you - go on, you deserve it - treat yourself - you won't regret it
