GHS Electric Guitar String Boomers Heavy 0.12 - 0.52 Gauge
Since GHS Boomers were introduced in 1975, they have set the standard for sheer power in any genre. Their 12-gauge guitar strings lay down a full, sustained sound across the sonic spectrum while being well-suited to Drop-D or other alternate tunings. GHS Boomers are still round-wound with a round core like they were on day one; this makes them excellent for jazz, classic rock or any music where you do a lot of bending.
Make it clear who the boss is at any show by adding GHS Boomers 12-52 strings to your axe. Are heavies not quite right for you? Strings and Beyond has more than a dozen other string gauges at discounted prices like Ultra-Light, Heavy Bottom and DYM Wound Third that sound and feel like you’re playing custom strings.
Detailed technical specifications are shown in the Overview section above.

“All in all, GHS Boomers are great guitar strings, with a distinctive tone all their own. While I wouldn’t play them if I was in Killswitch Engage or Slipknot, I appreciate the playing experience for lighter styles of rock and country.”Read full review →
“I like a meaty midrange, and GHS never fails to deliver the prime bass meat. Between the attack and the sustain it's the mids that bring home the beef. They are tasty and harmonically rich in overtone gravy. Click to expand... ... Interesting. How would you compare them to DR Sunbeams? Click to expand... I haven't had a chance to try the Round Core Boomers yet, but based on their description by @Linnin and my experience with the Sunbeams, I would say the Boomers have punchier mids, while the SBs are slightly scooped in comparison.”Read full review →
“They feel great, stay in tune, and although I can’t yet speak for their longevity, the word in the guitar community is that they are long lasting and rarely break. I put these strings through some paces.”Read full review →
“Exactly the same, insane, thing, Gordon! I have this magical guitar with a specially cut nut and setup — for David Gilmour GHS Strings only! Sure, I could put regular 10s on the guitar, but the experience and the intonation is not the same. To get any sort of correct sound — not just the “Gilmour Sound” — I’m tied into those strings on this guitar.”Read full review →
