Pyramid Performance Pure Nickel D505

We finally have a winner !

They are the best all round choice but not as " enjoyable " as others . Other strings are more "fun" to play but these feel the best and sound the best so the music is best.

Yes, I would have to recommend them . I have used everything else really including the best the US has to offer and these strings are definitely worth looking at . They are particularly good on a 335 where the 12s play like 11s . There is exceptional balance across wound to plain strings once you adjust . They have exceptional clarity

They sound great with medium to high action and superb with medium action

Don't do it

Please don't buy these strings. This is a one way lane, you won't be able to play d'Addario or Ernie ever again.

Outstanding strings

These are wonderful strings. I've used several sets of both 11s and 12s. Both produce really clear, ringing tones. The wound G on the 12s contributes to a fabulously rich sound, with real "bottom". The 12s are ideal for tuning down a half-step.
