GHS Coated GB TNT Boomers Reviews

Good Strings

I was initially looking for Elixirs, which are currently out of stock (thanks Covid...), so I had to find a suitable replacement for all my guitars since I use 10-52/56 on all of them.

I have bought 2 sets as test and installed them on my Schecter JL7 FR mk1, since this is my main "go to" guitar I decided to use her as pilot.

EVALUATION

PROS:

- Quite bright initially, like Elixirs, presence and clarity are there.

- Tuning stability is good, although this aspect only partially depends on the strings.

- The feel to the touch is pretty good after a bit of GHS Fast Fret and a few minutes of playing.

- The price.

CONS:

- If you are VERY used to the Elixir coating, like I am, straight out of the box, GHS are gonna feel pretty rough to the touch at first.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

I would finally say I am pretty happy with this item.

The price is a great plus of course with 5 Euros less per piece, and although they don't feel quite as smooth as Elixirs, I haven't perceived any major (negative) difference in tone for me to think this might have been a bad choice. Actually, on the contrary, tone-wise, I have to say I am really satisfied now that I have been playing them for a few days. I think I might stick to them for the time being and order some more sets.
