"Great range, longevity, and heavy sound."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I'll always use this brand on my guitars. With the large range of sound, the smooth feel, and the longevity of these strings they're by far one of the best brands I've tried so far.
Sound
These strings are made for deep gutteral noise. I mainly play metal, and these are just what i need, from deep chugg's, to wailing solo's. Not to mention the amazing range they give to arpeggios - these strings are fast.
Quality
These strings are strong. I've broken less of these than any other brand. They also stay in tune forever.
Value
I've seen packs going for anywhere from 4$ to 6.50$, so it's hard to say. But frankly with the heavier gauge and high quality I'd pay quite a bit for these over other strings

"My official string"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
when i went searching for a new set of strings because i was tired of breaking a blue steel or d'addario every other week, i was actually looking for some GHS Boomer low tunes, however the guitar shop didn't have any in stock, so i figured i'd try out some TNT's...and i will never use any other strings than these
Sound
the sound from these strings is amazing...the heavy bottom strings give you a completely crunchable tone and the light top strings give you the ability to have soaring, screaming leads and solos
Ease of Use
ofcourse these strings are gonna be tough for beginners to get used to, and it will take some adjusting for those switching from lighter gauges...but it's worth it...
Quality
they sound great and they feel great, but they seem to pop faster than i would like...however, i've tried dean markley blue steels and those popped in less than a week, and d'addarios pop at any moment...these have lasted me about 3 weeks on average, which isn't great, but better than what i'm used to
Value
great sound + great price = great value

GHS Boomers Guitar Strings (TNT) Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
GHS are THE best electric guitar strings - brightness, clarity and longevity. I've tried 'em all! TNT's are not for the faint-hearted. These strings give you a HUGE sound in the bottom register that shines when in overdrive to complete 'train-wreck' modes. Try playing some 5th fret (or lower) notes on the E (& A) strings while muting the strings with your right palm in overdrive! Used them for ages on a Les Paul through a Marshall then a Boogie. Probably wouldn't use 'em on a Strat - too long neck gauge, too tough. Great for hard rock and metal. Make sure your guitar neck is well built and be a little patient with your fingers on these. The result's worth it!

"POWERFUL strings"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i rated it 9 becuase i wish they lasted longer! they are such good strings.
Sound
simply the best sound but... they are short lived. they "burn out" like a light bulb. but hey...they always say its better to burn out then to fade away. so these strings rock!
Quality
there ok in quality but... i do wish they came in a sealed package, cause they are such short lived strings.
The Wow Factor
i wish i had a life supply of these strings. i would truely be satisfied.
