## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good gauge for 24.74 Scale length guitars
*by F***. on February 28, 2023*

I’ve been using thin core boomers for years. They are great for players starting to learn soloing. I’ve dropped to 9-42 gauge since I don’t do many live gigs anymore. After playing and blind testing many strings gauges for 24.75 scale length guitars ie Les Pauls, 9-46 gauge seems to work the best for most that tried them. The lighter unwound strings on the bottom and the heavier top strings seem to have a good balanced attack and feel imho. I gave a 4 in longevity only because they don’t last as long as Elixers but better price point

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Strings
*by S***L on February 17, 2019*

I have played GHS Boomers for many, many years. I've tried a LOT of others but always come back to these. Great sounding. Long lasting. Great price. If you plug it in, every guitar in my collection has GHS Boomers on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strings
*by J***M on January 12, 2020*

I have always sworn by GHS electric strings. I like the way they dont stretch and stretch and then break. I use a very thin string and a .38mm pick so I usually dont break strings, but GHS has always been the string i chose before any other. They seem to last a very long time.
