Pyramid Custom Lap Steel String Set
Ok strings for the price, a little bit dark sounding, be aware of shorter scale length
Decent strings for the price. Be careful when putting them on.
Perfect gauges for Open D, such set is hard to find.
Strings don’t have their winding until the end, so only the core wire is wound onto tuning pegs. That could have been the reason why the lowest string broke right when I was putting it on my lap steel. So not a great experience.
Their sound seems decent though, esp. for their price.
Cool strings, great sound, I use them for open E tuning. I prefer pure nickel strings in general and this set sure does not disappoint .
Great for Bluesy Lap Steel
If you want to play Open E or Open D Lap Steel get these; they will save you a lot of trouble. They are suggested for Open D, but the extra tension works for me tuning them up to Open E. All depends on your scale length; check out John Ely's website for Hawaiian Guitar for the definitive guide.
Really good tone
Having recently bought the Harley Benton Slider guitar and deciding to make a new"nut"as it was not possible to buy a left handed version,it made sense to fit new strings.Being new to this type of guitar it was a case of taking a chance on the strings to fit-so I chose the"Pyramid Custom Set". They are really good with a bright but not strident tone,seem to hold tuning well and make me happy that I seem to have made the right choice.I would have no hesitation in buying the same make and gauges again.
