A "Custom Light" Set That Sounds Bigger
The Thick Core Boomers are aimed at guitarists who expect more than just a "light" string set. Thanks to a thicker core, you get a more consistent attack, better focused projection, and an overall denser sound, without sacrificing the comfort of a "Custom Light" gauge. The result: firmer riffs, fuller chords, and leads that naturally sustain, with that extra sustain that makes the difference.
