Electric Strings 009-042 : Lovely strings

I use these strings as backup solution on my LP and Strat. I used to play Ernie Ball and sometimes D'Addario, but as soon as I tried Pyramid I decided to stick with them. These -the blue package- have a great virtue above other Pyramids: price. I mean, they cost nothing. But honestly I prefer other Pyramid models which cost way more. So these ones are my splendid spare wheel.

Sound: nice, balanced, classic. Very versatile, nice sustain, good intonation as well. In a scale in which 0 is dark and 10 is bright these end up like 4.

Good for rock, blues, nothing too extreme on both sides (not the best for jazz, absolutely not good for metal stuff).

Quality: When you open the blue package you don't feel that luxury thrill you could experience with other brands. The outfit is spartan, straight to the point. The strings are not sealed, they're just placed into the paper envelope. Anyway, the durability and reliability of the strings is really good, better than lots of other very popular strings.

Overall Rating: try these strings, for God's sake.
