I think every guitar player passes through the process of finding the right strings. I have tested a lot of different strings (gage, material, brand) and I am ended up with Pyramid. Cause of the fact I'm playing a lot of guitar and producing a lot of sweat, I have to change strings really often, because they tend to rust early. I'm not a richt man, so the price factor is another important one for me. The Pyramid strings have a really good quality fell high-quality. For me the most important factor in choosing strings is not the sound, bute the feeling to your fingers. But: a positive correlation is definitely the sound. I would describe the heights as "tangy" and "pearly", the basses as "assertive"and "punchy". The gage 10-52 is used on a standard Strat for a longer time. In average I can play the strings for 6 up to 8 weeks (I play every day, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) until refresh. Another positive feature is the fact, that the strings are made in Germany - for me a predicate!
I can also recommend Pyramid strings in other gages. Just try them and order with your next Thomann-ordering!
