Ghs Boomers
Good gauge of strings for drop b with a floyd rose?
A band I’m gonna start playing for plays in drop b and i was wondering what gauge strings to get
I have a LTD MH-250 with a Floyd rose
I have put my guitar in drop c using ghs boomers 11-70 and it was fine so i was wondering if i should go thicker so i don’t have to adjust my bridge that much?
I suggest 12’s, but with the drop tuning, use a heavier gauge string on the low string, to account for the mixed tension (keeping your guitar in drop tunings without having the right strings can mess with your neck)
I suggest Ernie Ball Not Even’s

Changing electric guitar strings is not a hard thing to do, but deciding which kinds of strings to buy can be more confusing than you might think. Over the years I have been asked by several students “what are the best electric guitar strings?” That can be a difficult question to answer because obviously different players have different preferences. Some just stick with what they have been playing with from the beginning and some might experiment until they find a string they like. Below I will tell you what I believe to be the best electric guitar strings and the reasons why I feel that way.
The best electric guitar strings in my opinion are GHS boomers. There is three major reasons that I have settled on them as my favorite. First of all they seem to stay in tune a lot longer than other strings I have tried. This is very important to me because many of my guitars have floating bridges. Many of the strings I have used in the past have gone out of tune on me when the whammy bar was being used heavily. No matter whether I drop tune, bend, stretch or dive the strings they rarely ever lose their pitch.
The second important factor that led me to name GHS the best electric guitar strings is their durability. Before I started using boomers I had primarily been using either Ernie Ball super slinky’s and DR’s. The problem was that I was breaking them all the time. Even the heavier strings would break occasionally. Maybe I was playing a little rough, but nevertheless I needed a string that could handle the abuse. The first time I used GHS I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t broken a string yet.
I usually change strings on a weekly or biweekly schedule depending on how much I have been playing. So I decided to leave them on for a full month to see if they would break. When they didn’t break I knew they were going to be my new secret weapon.
The last thing I love about GHS boomers is they don’t loose their bright new sound. If you have ever just changed one string and left the other old ones on you almost always notice how the new string just seems to sound a lot brighter then the others. All new strings have this quality no matter what brand, but some just keep their tone and sustain longer that others. The boomers definitely live up to this challenge. There’s nothing like the sound of a new set of strings that you put on two weeks ago. : – )
So there you have it. The best electric guitar strings in my opinion and why I think they’re so great. I encourage you to try them for yourself, but don’t just settle on them because I like them. Experiment with other brands so then you’ll know why they really are the best electric guitar strings.
