Play the Strings Pink Floyd's Guitarist Uses!

GHS has been manufacturing high-quality guitar strings since 1964. Professional musicians and amateur hobbyists who want great sound from their strings turn to GHS for a wide variety of tones. Whatever your tastes, from bright crunching rock to a mellow, bluesy sound, there's a set of GHS string that's right for you. The goal at GHS is to provide players around the world with strings that consistently exceed expectations. Each set set of these incredible strings is backed by decades of experience and GHS' unwavering commitment to quality.

The David Gilmour Signature Blue Set is the set that David has used on his famed black strat. He began using GHS Boomers in 1979, while in the studio recording the rock classic "The Wall." The David Gilmour Signature Blue Set is sized .010 - .048.

Nitro-Pack singles for fresh strings every time

GHS's Nitro-Packs use a revolutionary packaging method to ensure each one of your guitar strings is brand-new and corrosion free when you open the pack. Each string is individually housed in a nitrogen-sealed packet that eliminates any oxygen from around the metal. This sterile environment protects the string from any contaminant and corrosive, and the tear-proof packets have a transparent side for help identifying each string before having to expose them to oxygen. All of this goes into making sure that when you put a set of GHS strings on your guitar, you're getting the freshest and most clear-sounding strings possible.

Rated 5/5
Best I have ever played on
As a retired Studio Session Guitarist, I have just about used them all. Sure, like a lot of guitarist I'm a Gilmour fan and a long time Pink Floyd fan. These strings you can bend like off the planet and stay in tune. These dazes I'm on my Strats daily and these strings last like nothing I've ever used before. GHS Gilmour 10-48 will always be on my Strats. And of course Sweetwater is where I go to find all my Studio needs.

Only the very best
Sure I'm like so many others am a David Gilmour fan and just buying these strings isn't going to make you sound like Gilmour. I've been playing guitar for over 58yrs now and made a good living at it but on all my Strats and Teles these are the only strings they get. No matter how much or how long or how much I bend they stay in tune. I know....hard to believe but get a set or 3 and you will discover what I have. I'm a retired studio/session guitarist and I'll put these up against any set on the market.

Balanced yet bendy
You want to bend like David Gilmour? Well ya can't. But these will help you get part of the way there, at least.
The extra bendiness of the G and B are nice. Might take some getting used to if you're a standard .10s player, but once you get used to them, they're really nice to play.
The thicker gauged top strings help even out the string tension difference. And they just...work.
It's also nice to pick up something that's "David Gilmour signature" without spending extra on the name.
Music background: 18+ years of making noise

Hey You... Buy these strings
I saw David Gilmour on the pack and knew that it was Time to try these strings. So I spent the Money and these strings really Speak to Me. I only Wish You Were Here to try them out for yourself. Don't have A Momentary Lapse of Reason and not buy these strings or it could cause Brain Damage... Seriously though, these are great strings. I put them on my Strat and it plays and sounds great.

GHS David Gilmour Blue Set
These strings have a nice "chimey" tone on the high end and a good deep tone on the low end, but most of all, these are the "bendy-est" strings I have ever used. Seriously, it is like these strings are rubber bands.
