Pyramid Nickel Classics Regular010-046 5-stars Reviews

The round core makes sustain and resonance perfect!

I put these strings in an Epihpone Casino. Although many recommend wound strings to get the "Beatles" sound, I did some research and found that they started using these type of strings with round core (instead that standard hexagonal core). This makes all the diference because the sound propagates evenly. I can notice that my guitar has more resonance and sutain when I play it unplugged. And plugged has more of a 'chime' sound like in the Beatles albums from Revolver onwards.

Fantastic electric guitar strings

I've used a lot of good strings over decades, but these are the best ever. German nickel is, apparently, the best in the world, and I believe it when I'm playing Pyramid strings. They feel a little looser than steel, stainless, or steel/nickel combinations, and the sound is rich and clear, with a real vintage vibe. Add to that the great value – they've got me totally hooked.

Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop 59

I wanted to make my Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop 59 vintage sounding, The Gibson Custom Shops come with Gibson Pure Nickel on, I tried a set on my guitar but it just didn't sound right, Pyramid strings seem to come up a lot when I was looking for good Pure Nickel strings, I put a set of "Pyramid Nickel Classics Regular010 - 046" on my Gibson Les Paul and I didn't want to put my guitar down, it sounded like my idols use to sound with their Les Pauls, Rock / Blues / Punk and Great for Solo's.

YOU MIGHT NEED TO HIGHER TO BASS SIDE OF YOUR PICKUP BY HALF A TURN OF THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW?

Because they are Pure Nickel the wound string are very slightly lower output then Nickel-Plated strings, this is how they were in the days of old.

Warm "bluesy" sound and longlasting

These are my favorite strings. Nice warm sound thanks to the all nickel/ round cores and last quite long. Also very flexible, so you can consider buying a .011 set. Only disadvantage is that they come in an old school paper package > i'd prefer a sealed bag to keep them fresh.

Great strings!!

Really happy with these strings on the various guitars I have them on. Nice feel, last a good amount of time, stay in tune well and most importantly have great tone! These strings are best suited to bright guitars in my opinion and I have had favorable results using them on my superstrats. Perhaps a shade too dark for a mahogany based guitar.

Great Strings

These are my favourite guitar strings for my vintage stratocaster and I have tried most other makes. I also prefer these to the 11s gauge that gave my hand some aches & pains.

I like to tune them down a semitone/half step because I like the sound and the ease of bending full & micro bends.

Real quality product that remain lively even after extensive playing.

Perhaps a little more expensive than others but worth the investment.

great strings

Warmer than maximum performance. My first choice for single coils.

Simply the best I have ever used

Love these strings they give me that sound that I have searched to find for so long.

Classic sound that compliments my guitars and amplifiers to give me that 60's sound that so many of us strive to achieve. Give them a try. Surely a contender for the best you can buy?

Great sounding strings

These pure nickel strings have a really warm sound and are great if steel strings sound too bright on your guitar.

They feel great too, softer than steel and easier to bend.

Great underrated strings. Perfect for blues / early rock

I have been using D'Addario strings for ages, and whilst I loved them for my old band, my new band is a blues and 60's/70's cover band and these strings just nail the tone in a way that other strings can't. It must be the vintage style construction. I also find these strings last longer! Try them!

Best strings for my strat...

I used to play Ernie Ball Strings on each of my guitars, but then I found these strings. I tried how they would sound on my Stratocaster and was fascinated by the warm sound they gave me. I think they aren't working with humbucking pick ups but for single coils, they are my favourite choice. I will never use any other strings on my strats anymore.

But you have do be careful. Don't cut the strings the simple way. First you have to bend them in 90 degrees and then cut them. Otherwise the strings can be damaged.

So if you are looking for cheap strings that bring you a warm tone on your single coil guitar, buy these.

Pyramid Nickel Classic

I really like these! They are bright, but can sound amazing on the right guitar.

Pyramid....simply the best !!

Pyramid strings are made from high quality components to very high standards. I fitted them to my Stratocaster and the strings sounded warm and very vintage. I shall buy them again.
