A heavy gauge for tight lows and powerful playing
The GHS Boomers GBZWLO 11-70 set is aimed at guitarists who want to maintain solid tension in low tuning without sacrificing precision. Thanks to the progressive gauge increase, you get a consistent feel under the fingers, then a real energy reserve on the low string for more stable riffs, clear attacks, and a low end that remains defined even with high gain. The result: a powerful and dynamic playing experience, with the Boomers character that "pushes" the amp and adds body to heavy rhythms.

Mmmmmh, very heavy in perspective!
I use these strings to play metalcore/death in drop B, the tension is optimal for me, that is to say that the strings are well stretched in the bass for power chords and artificial harmonics (it comes out by itself), and nevertheless leave enough room to bend a bit. In the treble, the strings are just soft enough to get all the sweeps, bends, and taping through without any difficulty. The perfect game for drop B.
The only problem: the 70 string is VERY big, and therefore will not necessarily fit your mechanics!!
(on a Floyd guitar, the trick is to cut the string shorter at the bridge to pass only the unwound part of the string through the mechanism...)Automatically translated
