GHS StringsDYM Guitar Boomers, Nickel-Plated Electric Guitar Strings, Wound G, Medium (13-56)

These are my favorite strings, they sound great for longer than any string I’ve used, and they never break.

These strings work out perfectly for 25.5 scale tuned to c standard. The wound third is an added bonus since I always swap out this string for a wound when using a different string set.

I like ghs boomers because of their feel and sound. They have a grip that other strings don’t and they are nice and bright. I play deathmetal / grindcore, not that it matters, but I play crazy fast and you would think other slippery strings would be better to slide around on but the grip of these helps me be more precise, it allows me to brake quicker, it’s almost like torque on a car.

These are very good for the price if you prefer brighter toned strings. I did notice they dull out a little faster than D'addario's strings of the same gauges, but other than that I'd buy them again, definitely.

Have used ghs strings since the 80s, always been top notch.

Been using ghs Boomers for 30 years and never regretted it

I should have paid closer attention to the gauges. I typically use GHS Medium gauge, which are 011's. These say "medium" in the title, but they are extra heavy 013 gauge strings.On my Telecaster through a Deluxe Reverb, the strings sound big, fat, loud, and bright, great stability, but it feels like playing an acoustic guitar (no surprise - pretty much the same string gauges). Very difficult to bend, even after I tuned everything down a whole step to D. Not my cup of tea, and definitely NOT "medium" boomers.

they are what I expected

Excelentes para afinacion estandard C, muy buena alternativa a las not even slinky.

The wound third (G string) has solved my previous intonation issues when playing chords on the G/B strings (wound and plain). I primarily play rhythm and don't really need much bending on that string. Solo players might notice the difference. Either way my guitar stays in tune much, much better now. The 0.13 gauge might be a bit thick for most players. If you're used to .10/.11 you should get the DYL variant instead of the DYM. This gauge will barely fit through standard tuner key holes especially with tuner locks. The advantage of this gauge is the when using active pickups (EMG or Fishman) the low-end bass really comes through which is perfect for the modern metal sound.
