Pyramid Performance Pure Nickel D502 5-stars Reviews

Wonderful strings, but a little prone to fret buzz.

I love the sound of these strings. I like them better than the other hex core, pure nickel Pyramid strings (in the blue packaging). These green ones are more expensive though and I have no idea WHY I like them better. They just feel nicer under the fingers (a tiny bit more flexible?) and seem to have a SLIGHTLY smoother tone. Maybe these have a thinner core or something? In all other respects they seem very similar to the blue ones (apart from the silked ends that I frankly don't care about).

My only complaint is that compared to similar strings from other manufacturers I find that I have to raise the action slightly to avoid severe fret buzz. This unfortunately seems to be the case for most Pyramid roundwound strings. At least when I play them... But I love the sound and feel of these strings so much that I'm willing to make this compromise.

The best strings you can buy

They are more expensive than other sets, but you get more. I use them mainly in my Les Paul, and there's nothing I don't like about them. It's easy to see how good they are when you use something else, you miss something. They last longer than other strings and the sounds is really balanced.

great strings

My new favourites. Excellent on humbucker guitars that can need the extra brightness.
