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 one of the most famous guitar brands.

GHS Strings is a family of artists and experts built on tradition to help aid in the quest for personal string design and tone. To that end, we still use round core wire for much of our guitar strings and use some string specs decades old.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These seem like very good quality strings. Tone is fine. Have had some problems with strings binding in the nut but I think it's because the nut was cut for 9s and it's not a problem with the strings themselves. They hold tune well. They also seem to resist corrosion better than some other well known brands.
I generally prefer 9s for bending but haven't had problems bending with these (other than binding in the nut which is a nut problem and not a string problem). Still I'd be hesitant to recommend these 10s for a blues based player whose bread and butter is bends.
