Pyramid Electric Strings 010-046 Light Reviews

Great sound but may cause fret buzz

Pyramid make some of my favorite strings, both for guitar and bass. Unfortunately I also have a problem with fret buzz when using some of their strings. I can set up the guitar/bass perfectly and still get an unacceptable amount of fret buzz. I'm obviously talking about guitars/basses where other strings of a similar type from other manufacturers works perfectly.

I have no idea what's causing this. Maybe Pyramid use a thinner, more flexible core that vibrates with a larger amplitude? It's still a bit weird. It's not like we're talking about round core vs hex core here. When I compare these strings with similar roundwound, hex core, nickle plated steel strings from other manufacturers the Pyramids ALWAYS have more fret buzz than ANY other strings when I set up the guitar for the same action, relief, etc.

Basically, I can use these strings on SOME guitars (and I do because I love how they sound) but on other guitars they are useless to me.

Well worth a try

I like these strings. The tone is very good, and they are always fresh and kink-free. I have had 2 problems ever with them... once, a g string wouldn’t intonate, and once a g string was totally dead from new, so I suspect it had a winding issue. This can and does happen from time to time with any brand, and the tone is what brings me back time and again to Pyramid.

Super

Good quality strings in the right price
