GHSBoomer 8 String Heavy Electric Guitar Set (11-85)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
GHS Boomer Heavy is an eight-string electric-guitar set built around lower-tuning and extended-range playing. Its 11–15–18–28–38–48–64–85 gauge sequence carries the heavy designation, with the 85 gauge at the low end of the set. GHS developed these sets with extended-range guitarists in mind, making this a direct choice when the instrument and tuning call for an eight-string, heavy-gauge lineup rather than a standard six-string set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lower-tuned eight-string electric guitar setups that call for the supplied heavy 11–85 gauge sequence.
- Extended-range guitar work using an eight-string instrument.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Six-string or seven-string guitars, since this is an eight-string set.
