GHS Strings is not just an electric guitar string company - we're much more! We are the string brand inspiring you to play an extra encore. We are the string brand encouraging you to play harder, go longer. We are the string brand that's got you covered - whether you're playing electric or acoustic guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele and more.
Since 1964, we've been winding guitar strings in the same southwest corner of Michigan that gave birth to Gibson Guitars. Though based in Battle Creek, we are global, but our values remain rooted in midwestern soil. We are fiercely independent - we are no-nonsense perfectionists believing in hard work, craftsmanship, and the power of music.
And now it has been changed, the whole thing. been using it for 35 years and now it is unrecognizable. new holder, new juice, new packaging.... moved to another product as this now does not work how it used to.
Since C and G guitar strings are both .040 tension, I just used another uke C for low G and the tones are the same. Good information. I want loud and great sustain instead of low and notes hidden. Interesting video.
Hi. Could GHS please issue packs of plain & wound strings separately? People mostly buy a new set because they break a plain string, often while the rest are still relatively new. I have a shoebox full of (good or new) wound strings... and judging by separates sold on eBay, I'm not the only one. If I buy 6 separate plain strings, it works at twice what I'd pay for a set, which is crazy because plain strings are cheaper in terms of steel & manufacturing. I'd be happy to still pay for 6 or more, especially if there's, say, 4 E$, a B$, & a G$ (or even 2 of each, which you could actually market as 'Nashville' sets). Surely it would be better for the environment also, because so many end up in landfill. Personally, I actually prefer to keep wound strings on longer because new ones are a bit too 'zingy' (the same reason people find older bass strings acceptable). Thanks.
Half-round is supposed to be reffering to the ground-wound, that start round and get one side ground off. Both are nice in their own way, pressure are more like a round with some of the high edge taken off, the groundwound have a bit of the flat sound combined with a bit of the round
Do you have a 4-string and feel like you want to play 5-string? Fear not! Just use these BEAD strings and get that sweet 5-string tone without the hassle of getting more gear!
I put these on my Schecter Omen Extreme-4, and my goodness what a great set of strings. They feel so weirdly good. The only strings I'm using from now on.
Nice demo but here's the problem...I have no idea what an Airline Map bass is supposed to sound like with ANY kind of string. I would have liked to hear these on something a little more familiar like a Jazz or a Precision bass.
Did GHS solve the rust problem already? I've been playing Boomers for decades, and usually bought the Custom Light (GBCL, 09-46) in bulk. Unfortunately, although they're "MADE IN THE USA", wrapped individually, and packed in an airtight "Fresh Pack" (TM), the unwound strings are all heavily corroded with some black tarnish... This applies to the GBCL sets but also the GBTNT (10-52) and 7string sets I have. That's a LOT of money wasted, gone down the drain, because those corroded strings are simply unplayable. I sent an email asking about this, but no response whatsoever. Since some time I only buy from Pyramid, based in Germany. No issues yet, neither on their stainless steel strings (which are awesome!!) and regular nickel ones... But I quite liked the available gauges and longevity of GHS strings - well, at least, when they didn't come completely rusted out of a fresh package...

Just wanna say: I had my fast fret since 2010, still in the brown plastic tube, and with the wood handle (please bring back the wood handle :c) , i've used it almost every day, and stored it right away each time. It still works, somehow is still moist. Also i like to not wipe it off, i just do "wax no, no wax off" i'm wondering if i can buy a new one, detach the "head" and glue it to the old wood handle :P

are these titanium strings low tension? I'm a little confused why you would say low tension, when I look a the gauge I can find different strings with a lighter tension. Yet you say these are low tension.
I guessed wrong 4 out of 5, thinking the Top Load was the String-Through. I have a Sire P7 ( most Sire basses have the option as the Lakland does to top load or string-through), and personally (this is key) I like the string-through mainly because it 'feels' like less tension on the neck and strings...that's my main reason for using string-though as opposed to tone...I'm not so sure the difference is audible to 95% of folks listening...it's probably me, but I really can't hear the difference as much feel it. Interesting video.
