GHS Strings BOOMERS 7 Electric Guitar Strings (GB7H), Heavy, 13-74

If you want to blow heads those are your strings!!! I tunned in G and were very stable. I think it could go lower!! I liked a lot!!

Had to open a hole to fit the 74 but other than that, they feel And sound great.

I won’t lie, in the time I’ve picked up the 7-string the typical gauge of strings (9-52) just won’t cut it for me. These strings right here are fantastic for my play style. Power chords sound raw and open notes sound like a chainsaw. Although I gotta say there was some concern when applying the strings to my instrument, but with patience and wiggling those bad boys into the ports I was able to get’em in. Do they djent? Yerp. Do they got the range for most bands with drop A tuning? Yeeerp! Don’t challenge meshuggah though unless you do their early stuff; the range of these strings won’t cover the range and depth of an 8-string hahaha all in all, great stuff here

These were exactly what my guitar needed. I purchased my first seven string and went with a very inexpensive ESP LTD M-17 just to try it out. My biggest complaint with this guitar was the terrible intonation which got way worse when tuning down. I suspected a big part of the problem was a lack of string tension. There was almost no tension on the neck from the lighter gauge strings from the factory. It doesn't help that this particular 7-string has a short 25.5" scale length instead of a 26.5" or 27". It seemed that these are about the heaviest gauge set of strings I could find and I have always liked GHS Boomer strings. Once I restrung the guitar with these there was an immediate improvement in the intonation and playability. I would recommend these to anyone, especially those experiencing similar problems with a short scale 7 string guitar.

This isn't necessarily me saying the product is bad, because it does what it's supposed to. It's just ULTRA-THICK. I find them difficult to play with due to how damned thick the strings are. If you do get these strings, just know that these strings are by far the epitome of heavy gauge.

These get my 25.5" scale 7 string down to drop e with zero problems. I usually only tune to drop f though for a little more tension on the high strings. Sounds great through russian big muff and an orange for doom or into a tube screamer and mesa boogie for djent. Can't complain. Even fit in my tuners just fine only had to file the nut a bit and intonate at the bridge.

Fit my 7string and provided a normal string life of thick sounds and would reccomend to any metal players out there

Sound great! I have a 7-string Ibanez and the detuning to drop-A made the lowest string rattle. These definitely solved that problem. My friend advised against such thick strings as it might be too hard to push down, but I haven't had any issue with it.
