GHS Strings GBH-8 SET Guitar Boomers Electric Guitar Strings, Heavy, 11-85

Boomers, always good, what’s not to like? I have purchased Boomers as long as two years prior to using them and they were still fresh when I opened them. Since I started using them I no longer need to seal strings with my Food Sealer as soon as I get them home. Their tone lasts longer than most strings I have used. I use them on my Lucille, Strat, Schecter 8 strings & PRS. Wouldn’t leave home without them. Highly recommended!

Pretty nice strings all around, they seem to perform just fine. It's difficult to find 8 string sets with an 85 for the F# string. The low B string could be a tad thicker for optimum tension, but that's just my opinion. I will buy more in the future.

When your standard 8 string tunings just aren't enough and you're ready to get super deathly these guys will deliver just that. It was my first time with GHS strings and I was a little skeptical having always gone with D'Addario and Gibson strings, but these are fine. My only gripe has not to with the product, but with the fact that the 85 string is so thick I had to use a drill to make it fit. Just a minor alter and hiccup before laying into them. I bought them specifically to play a super LOW drop C# tuning and they're holding up to it quite well.

Great but 8th string did not fit my tuners. Lol love ghs. Always great product.

Great clean sound, but just too heavy for a good tone while distorted. Sounded great when playing fingered bass style licks on the low end but when you tried distorting them the low F just sounds mushy at such a thick gauge.

Treat strings. Have been using their 6 & 7 string sets for years as well

The strings are great, they feel great, had to tighten the truss rod a bit and file out the nut to accommodate the 85 gauge elevator cable.

The thickest commercially (packed) available strings. They work really well on my 26.5 inch scale and I'd highly recommend them.
