Electric Strings 009-042 : Swings and roundabouts

2 years ago

First and most importantly, these are good strings at a very competitive price. When it comes to the makeup of the set, though, it's a case of swings and roundabouts.

I've always found the presence of an 11-gauge B string in a standard set of nines a bit odd, in that it doesn't give balanced tension across the plain strings. Pyramid fix that by substituting a 12. They also deviate from the standard mix, however, by substituting a 22 gauge D string for the more usual 24, which makes it a bit slack compared to the neighbouring A string.

You pays your money and you takes your choice...
