Contents Uniquely Fresh

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 one of the most famous guitar brands. Though based in Battle Creek, we are global, but our values remain rooted in mid-western soil. We are fiercely independent – we are no-nonsense perfectionists believing in hard work, craftsmanship, and the power of music.

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.

Customers find the musical instrument strings easy to use. They say the strings are supple, easy on the fingers, and comfortable.

Customers are mixed about the value of the musical instrument strings. Some mention that they are a little pricey but worth the cost, while others say that they're expensive and not worth the money.

"great strings with a fantastic feel, but they do wear down very quickly. the coating wears at the frets within a month at low to moderate use." Read more

"...My only negative on these is that they wear out about twice as fast as regular bronze strings. To me, it is worth it in tone." Read more

"...These strings are muddy at best and degrade quickly from mediocre to intolerable.. I only had them on the guitar for 3 days before replacing" Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Forse le migliori corde silk and steel
Reviewed in Italy on June 7, 2023
La scelta delle corde da abbinare alla propria chitarra spesso diventa una ricerca laboriosa che impegna diverso tempo e denaro. Ho provato diverse corde Silk di cui ho anche rilasciato qualche recensione, ma queste nell'immediato mi hanno veramente stupito. Le corde sono di colore "argento", morbide e piacevoli al tatto. Restituiscono un suono abbastanza corposo e ricco di armoniche, almeno con i legni della mia chitarra. Mi sembra abbiano meno proiezione rispetto le Ernie Ball, anche esse ottime corde, ma in compenso hanno un suono ben bilanciato tra alti e bassi e un timbro quasi "personale".
Voglio anche evidenziare la puntualità di Amazon nella sostituzione della prima confezione che mi è arrivata senza la 4° corda.
Ovviamente quanto descritto è puramente soggettivo. La scelta delle corde dipende dai gusti e modo di suonare e dal tipo di chitarra.
