Pyramid Electric Strings 010-046 5-stars Reviews
My new Favourite strings.
I love the warmth of pure nickel strings and these are the best I have ever used. The Price is the icing on the cake!
My new favorite
I have a nickel allergy but love the sound of nickel strings the best. I've recently been testing what strings I can play without getting an allergic reaction. I've found that pure nickel wound strings do not irritate my skin anywhere near as much as the nickel plated versions.
The perfect strings for me
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!
Super!
Exactly how they advertise them in the product description. I was amazed how easy they feel to play.
I started using these instead of D'addario 010's after first having used Pyramids round core pure nickel strings on some vintage guitars. A brighter sound and higher tension than the round core strings, I prefer these on humbucker guitars and my 'all round' guitars, whereas I prefer the round cores on vintage (-style) Fenders.
Compared to regular D'addario's these are somewhat similar but more consistent IMHO and slightly higher tension and with a stronger attack.
Excellent for the price
Good quality strings at a very reasonable price
They work fine
I've put these on several guitars and have no complaint...and they seem to last on my guitars as well as more expensive strings.
Enough said...
Reliable, affordable & great quality
I run a small website in the UK and I get through probably 100 sets of strings a year. I have been buying Pyramid strings for around 7 or 8 years now & I find them utterly reliable. I also play in a band & to date have only had one string break during a gig. I like that they are individually wrapped. They have a bright clear sound & are extremely durable
Great stings!
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!
The best bargain out there!
These strings are bloody great, I love the feel of them, very quick. They also have a great vintage tone, with slightly less scratchy highs. They seem to last reeeeally well too, can't recommend enough. Can't even really think of any cons, maybe if you want a supper bright string then this might not be it. But they are awesome!
Best Price/Quality ratio
I always order these in big bulks to have something reliable laying around. Good quality strings with a good sound that lasts quite long. Definitely recommend.
Very good!
They are cheap and they sound fine. Just fine for their price.
My main strings
10-46 Pyramids are the strings I use the most, mainly on my Strat (standard tuning). I find the sound is well balanced, plenty of bottom end and no harsh treble yet still good clarity and definition.
Great for blues/rock stuff.
Hehe, gud affordable strings that save you money for more hashish!
Used this for an open tuning on a strat to play arabic jazz fusion,sound great are slick on the fingers and for that price i can still have some money to buy myself nice hashish after playing,
Toke up and play pyramid strings!
good strong tone
Has a very balanced sound without wobbling frequencies .
Good value for the money ,last long.
Very balanced feeling between chord strumming and solo.
In studio environment can handle 5-7 songs without noticeable tone loss.
Excellent strings
My preferred strings for my Jaguar.
Great set of strings
I bought these because I wanted to try a different gauge string, I've used them ever since!
They sound great, they come packaged really well and for the price, you can't go wrong!
Great budget strings
Perfect strings for vintage rock sound.
I can say there is no significant difference between theese and any other "high end" strings.
Sound great-price even better!
Quality and durabiliti-wise I will be able to say more after using them a while.
Made in Germany
Great value for these strings. Made by Pyramid, a very old family firm in Bavaria. They are perfect for what I play, mostly 60s stuff.
Last long and are nicely coated
I?ve been using pyramid a lot lately, and mostly because i really like how well coated they are. They feel smooth and have a deep sustain sound which plays lightly and bends easily. I have tried the more expensive version as well, but for the price, i would go for this one,
