Description
GHS Boomers have been the go-to electric guitar set since 1964, and the GB8 1/2 Ultra Light+ gauge splits the difference between an .008 and .009 set. You get the fast, easy bend of an extra-light string paired with a bit more tension and body than a standard .008 set offers — ideal for players who want speed without sacrificing tone.
- Gauges: .0085 – .0105 – .014 – .022 – .032 – .040
- Round wound nickel-plated steel over a hex core
- Bright, cutting tone with strong attack — GHS calls it “the power string”
- Packaged in GHS’s air-tight Fresh Pack / Nitro-Pack to lock out corrosion and lock in factory freshness
The hex core wire gives the nickel-plated wrap a tight, secure grip, which translates into dependable intonation and tone that holds up over long sets and heavy playing. Boomers have earned their reputation across every genre, from studio session players to touring rock and blues guitarists, because the construction is built to take a beating and keep sounding consistent night after night.
GHS Strings has been manufacturing in the same climate-controlled facility since 1964, using precision winding equipment and carefully sourced raw materials. That attention to process is why GHS has been known as “The String Specialists” for decades — every set is built for the same consistency, lasting intonation, and harmonic clarity that made Boomers a flagship line in the first place.
Set contents: GB8 1/2 = .0085, .0105, .014, DY22, DY32, DY40.
