GHS Guitar Boomers GB8 1/2 Ultra Light Plus .0085-.040 Electric Guitar string set for electric guitar

General

The GHS Guitar Boomers GB8 1/2 is a 6-string set for electric guitar with an extra-light feel. This Ultra Light Plus set is designed for players who want to bend strings effortlessly, use vibrato and play fast without the strings feeling ‘stiff’. At the same time, you get that recognisable Boomers sound: bright, direct and with enough body to cut through a band mix. A great choice if you want your guitar to play just that bit more smoothly, without going for extremely thin strings.

Ultra Light Plus: fast and smooth

With gauges ranging from .0085 to .040, this set sits between ultra-light and light, but with an even slimmer high E. You’ll notice this straight away when bending, playing legato and strumming chords: the resistance is low, so your playing hand doesn’t have to work as hard. Ideal for lead playing, fast licks and players who prefer a light string tension on a 6-string electric guitar. Even if you often play longer sessions, a set that plays this lightly can feel more comfortable.

Nickel-plated steel roundwound

The strings are made from nickel-plated steel and feature a roundwound wrap around a round core. This produces an open, sparkling tone with a clear attack and a lively response. This gives you a modern, fresh tone that works well for a wide range of styles, from rock to pop and fusion. As these Boomers are made in the USA, you can count on consistent quality set after set. A no-nonsense set for anyone looking for a clear, energetic sound.
