Detail 01
Single string, not a set
You get one string, not six. Match it to the gauge position you are replacing or it will not intonate correctly.

GHSBoomers GB10 1/2 Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single Boomers electric guitar string, sold individually. For replacing one broken string rather than buying a whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a string that broke mid-gig or mid-session
- Players who snap the same string repeatedly and want spares
- Keeping a few backups in the case without buying full sets
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Restringing a whole guitar; a full set costs less per string
- Bass players, since this is an electric guitar string
- Players wanting a flatwound feel or tone
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Boomers
GHS's roundwound line, bright and punchy new. A single Boomer will sound brighter than the aged set around it.
Detail 03
Electric guitar string
Steel-core construction for magnetic pickups. Not sized for bass or intended for acoustic tone.
Detail 04
Low single-string price
Cheap as a spare, but per-string cost is higher than a full set. Only economical for one-off replacements.
Detail 05
Roundwound
Textured outer wrap, so finger noise and slide squeak are audible. Grips picks and bends more than a flat surface.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm which gauge you need; a single string is useless if it is the wrong size
- 02One new string next to five worn ones will stand out tonally until it settles
- 03String only. No picks, winder, or cutters included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one string or a full set?
One string. Buy a full set if you are restringing the whole guitar; this is meant for replacing a single broken string.
02Which gauge do I need?
Match the gauge of the string you are replacing. Check the set you originally installed, since gauge determines both tension and intonation.
03Will a new single string match my old ones?
Not at first. A fresh roundwound is brighter than strings that have been played in, so it will sit forward in the mix for a while.
04Can I use this on a bass?
No. This is an electric guitar string. Bass strings are longer and heavier, built for bass scale length and tension.
