Great tone. I have had .009 strings break at the knurl. Be nice if the would sell them individually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great feel and sound
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022*

I really like these. They are a little lighter than a set of 9's but not as flimsy as Ernie Ball 8's. And, they feel like GHS Boomers, which just have a great feel for bending. The lighter strings save some wear and tear on my ring finger joint bending strings too. Try 'em, you may like 'em!I do wish GHS would do a multi-pack of these (5 pack or 6 pack) and that Amazon would stock this size regularly. The last couple times I tried Amazon there were only 3rd party options available and they were overpriced too. Thank goodness for Just Strings (juststrings.com) who almost always has what I'm looking for on strings, and usually at great prices.
