Pyramid Electric Strings 010-046

If someone handed you your own guitar strung with these string for the first time, chances are that you'd thing these are the pure nickel strings you always used (unless you use any type of Fender wire ropes...).
For roundwounds my prefered brand is Dunlop, the sound, the tension, the durability, suit me perfectly, these Pyramid strings remind me of Ernie Ball strings, generally flexible wound strings, full sound, not dull, but with not much of the metallic character of other strings, which is totally expected from any pure nickel string.
I've put these in my Strat and Tele and they work just fine, no broken strings, no intonation or tuning problems, proper volume consistency from string to string, so great!

Just keep in mind that the package is not air-shielded, so if you buy a lot of packs keep them in a very dry box/drawer and they will stay fresh for months and months!

I don't intend to replace my favorite guitar's Dunlops with these, but I have a lot of guitars and also a small studio, so as I have found no issue with them, I can now have always fresh strings on my record-ready guitars and have some spare sets if a guitarist breaks a string or comes with dead strings.

Finally, note that these are not "cheap" strings, they are cheap at thomann because they are made in germany so no importing costs and extra taxes.

For many years I used "nickel wound" strings of bigger and more know manufacturers from USA mostly.

Since I like exploring, I tested Pyramid strings and I'm stunned!
I must point out that those are of PURE NICKEL wound, and not NICKEL wound. I like pure nickel wound since guitar gets much more alive and resonant in mid and high range, maintaining (or getting) a strong bass response when playing unplugged. Plugged in it is like the nicest poem.

Thru my guitar playing, setting years (13+) I used a wast assortment of different strings manufacturers and types. Since well I like exploring new things and not settling on "if it works its fine and you should leave it alone".
Pyramid are for quality and price the top notch of strings you can get! Also worth mentioning they are MADE IN GERMANY!

I am a long time Daddario user, currently trying out cheaper alternatives. I've decided to buy this Pyramid set and the Framus set to compare against the Daddario EXLs.

Pros:

Sounds great, identical to the EXLs while costing less, no complaint so far. Fairly balanced sound.

Feels good right out of the box, strings feels smooth and slinky (unlike the Framus set which comes a bit scratchy initially). It might be less stiff than EXLs which makes bending easier.

Individually packaged strings, identical to the Framus. Unlike EXLs which comes in a single plastic packaging, these sets are individually packed in paper bags.

Cons:

Non sealed paper bags, if you are not using them immediately, they might not last as long in the bag compared to the sealed EXls. Other than that these sets are a good alternative to the more expensive EXLs.

I've been playing these for a few years now. They are great quality! Never had a bad string out of the pack (contrary to better known brands that I've used in the past).

I also really like the tone of these pure nickels. They are a bit less agressive and as a result sound very well balanced. The best part about that, for me, is that there's not such a big difference in the tone between the first day that you put them on and the tone after two weeks of playing them (what I think is much more the case when you use nickel-plated strings).

And all that for a very good price. Thank you Pyramid!
