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.

Ghs strings

GHS strings are durable and last a long time. I've used them for years. Very affordable. I've been playing guitar since 1960 so I've used just about every brand and this is what I have found to meet my needs. I've played lead guitar in country bands since 1964 so I have a little experience.
Music background: Country pop jazz Western swing rock

Truth

Sweetwater has always came through for me at prices and products I can't believe other lovers of music do not, or choose to not try. If there is any other equipment source available I am not knowledgeable about it, that can compete. If you want it right and at a very reasonable price, then Sweetwater is the right choice. I've went through Sweetwater for years and what got me buying from Sweetwater to start is because I remember the bandmembers from the same name. I have never regretted it. If you know what you want then Sweetwater will and can get it for you. They sure have for me.
Music background: Started guitar at age 5, play anything with strings since 12. Well it would take more time than I have to finish my life story so I will leave it at that. I am 63 and played and had the love of music every bit of it.
Rated 5/5
