GBZW LO Zakk Wylde : Top notch strings for drop tunings!!
I recently reviewed the 10-60s version of these Zakk Wylde GHS Boomers and this review will be ultimately very similar. Personally, I prefer to go higher than a .60 if I am dropping below C so I decided to try these strings out for C Flat Standard to Drop A.
I've never been able to achieve a gauge that I am truly happy with for these tunings...until now! These Boomers are PERFECT for these tunings, in my opinion/preference.
The good:
They have an excellent sound and clarity to them. I have experienced some bad note bleeds with this gauge from other manufacturers in the past but these GHS Boomers don't seem to have that problem which I am delighted about. They have a nice bright high end with a solid and chunky low end! Great for heavy music and blues.
The Bad:
Nothing....literally nothing!
I would recommend these strings to anybody who tunes really low as they have great life, great sound and a great feel to them too! Not to mention how well they hold drop tunings! 10/10
