Pyramid Gypsy Jazz Django 010-045 5-stars Reviews

Great and versatile strings

I first bought this set because of the type of music it is made for. I also prefer this gauge and in my opinion it's suitable for country and blues too.

Gypsy Jazz Twang

Gives that django sound that gypsy jazz plays strive for.

They're not quite as good as Argentines but there's not much in it.

They are however, half the price of a pack of Argentines, so in my opinion worthwhile, especially if you change your strings often.

Gypsy Jazz tone on a budget

I've used Savarez Argentines, the D'Addario GJ strings and these.

The Pyramid strings sound very good. Not quite as 'throaty' as Argentines, but still fairly good. Much better than D'Addario. Because they are also much cheaper, these are now my go-to GJ strings.

One thing I've noticed is that they tend to wear out much quicker than electric guitar or bass strings. However, this also occurs with other brands of Gypsy Jazz string. Also you can get 3 packs of these for the price of 1 set of Argentines, so it's not an issue.

In summary: Great strings, I will be buying more.
