Best Pyramid Slider Set Alternatives

I purchased an 8 string set to use on a lap steel guitar. Yhe tension of the strings was nife and positive, alloeing for a very easy play with a tonebar. The strings themselves sound very full, with enough top end "zing" to provide the classic lap steel sound. these strings are grest vakue for money. Go on, treat yourself.

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years but have never tried Lap Steel. So with a bit or research I bought one and a pack of these strings as I read C6 is a common tuning to play in. To me they seem very good quality, sound lovely and so far have stayed in tune after some stretching and playing. For the price they seem a bargain and I will buy again.

For a (more or less) standard E9 pedal steel copedant these GHS are great! I love the half round wind for less bar noise, and they really last a long time before the intonation starts to go. I've not broken a single third string on either of my steels (EMCI and Excel) in about three years of using these pretty much daily - I like them a lot :)

I got this set for an old acoustic Hawaiian lap steel guitar from the 1930s. The packaging promised "good acoustic tone" but I don't think anyone would mistake these strings for acoustic strings. They are really more suitable for electric guitars in my opinion. The acoustic tone is extremely bright and quite thin. Some of the strings also have filthy discolorations. They came in sealed, individual plastic bags so must have left the factory that way. I don't expect strings to be polished to a shine but these ones didn't look very nice. They looked old and dirty. They are okay I guess and probably much better on an electric.

The only negative is that the winding on the ball-end is a bit too long and ends up rubbing against the axle for the levers on Duesenbergers multibender bridge. The strings used with the bender levers thus break far more often than they should. Plain strings with shorter winding like for example standard d'Addario electric-strings last a lot longer. This is also a problem that Duesenberg can solve in the design of the Multibender if the slot in the lever for the string is not cut all the way through to the hole for the axle. Then the string would rest statically against the remaining material in the lever instead of rubbing a against the axle every time the lever is moving.

Having recently bought the Harley Benton Slider guitar and deciding to make a new"nut"as it was not possible to buy a left handed version,it made sense to fit new strings.Being new to this type of guitar it was a case of taking a chance on the strings to fit-so I chose the"Pyramid Custom Set". They are really good with a bright but not strident tone,seem to hold tuning well and make me happy that I seem to have made the right choice.I would have no hesitation in buying the same make and gauges again.
