David Gilmour has been playing GHS Boomers since 1979 — first using them while recording Pink Floyd's The Wall. The GB-DGF "Blue Set" replicates the exact gauge configuration he uses on his black Fender Stratocaster: .010, .012, .016, .028, .038, and .048. If you've been curious what's behind that touch-sensitive, expressive playing style, the strings are a good place to start.
These are part of GHS's Boomers line — nickel-plated steel wound over a round core, made in Battle Creek, MI. The hybrid gauge gives you lighter plain strings for easier bending up top, paired with wound strings that retain a solid low-end presence. Each string comes individually sealed in a GHS Nitro-Pack envelope, a nitrogen-sealed package that keeps strings corrosion-free and factory fresh right up until you open them.
