Best Pyramid Stainless Steel 011-060 Alternatives

Based on 6 reviews

These strings are amazing! I normally use GHS strings,but i notice that they arent bad in sound, but their duration is not really great. I tried looking for some other strings and i never heard of pyramid. First i was like: man these are expensive compared to GHS. But it was really worth it, i let other friends and my father try the strings, and i think this will be my kind of set for every kind of guitar :-) iam current using it on my les paul, but i think it will be awesome on my strat as well. They give a really clear tone and nice attack, and they feel really jazzy. Please give them a try.

I'm yet to purchase at least five packages of this ones. They are elegant, tone-wise, sweet sounding strings with a pleasant balance between warmth and bright. Very underrated strings in comparison to the famous ernie balls, but I mind it's because only a few people tried them. String your les paul with the Optimas, and you'll have a full sound, with life, warmth, brilliance and a delightful way to play as they are very kind with your fingers. It seriously deserves a try. Give it and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

I use this scale on all my guitars tuned to C#, and in general i've been using all scales of rotosound strings - with occasional expections - on all my guitars. If you change strings once a week or so then look elsewhere - other brands sound a bit more brilliant when they're brand new. Rotosound, though, are very stable, and keep their excellent tone for weeks, months, depending on your average playing time. I have many guitars and i found that months of rest don't affect the tone a single bit. They've never let me down, and i don't think I'll ever change brand.

These are hands down my favorite guitar strings ever! They can be a bit harsh for your fingers if you're used to a smaller string gauge, or if you're a beginner, like they were for me, when I first tried them. I don't know if I'm imagining it, but IMO these strings give you slightly more bottom-end to your guitar sound. Maybe it has something to do with the pickups reacting differently to the bigger string gauge...? They are sturdy, and do not break easily, if you restring your guitar properly (one set lasted me for many months because i was lazy, and didn't feel like changing them :)). I suggest you still change the strings once every one or two months, since after some time, and especially if you play your guitar daily like I do, they start to sound flat. A new set of strings can...

These are a great set of strings, I love playing them the fresh tone you get from new strings lasts for hours of playing, Over that of which a lot of other string that sound in the their prime for only a half hour sometimes less, I love how you only get 3 paper cases inside containing 2 strings each, they put a high gauge and a low gauge together for easy definition between both. The only problem I've had was that the last pair I received had a little rust but its the first time that's ever happened me with these tone monsters. so other than that one experience I can understand why the metal god himself chose these as his signature strings!

I play these strings on an American Deluxe Telecaster and really like them. I tried varios Ernie Balls long time ago, then changed to some D'Addarios gauged 10-42 which became my favourite strings because they sounded fresher. But I was curious about a thicker string gauge especially for the higher strings and I didnt't want too thick bass strings, so 11-46 was a perfect match. When I first bought these strings I liked the again fresher and more powerful sound then the D'Addarios have. (of course both string sets compared when they are new!). The 11s were a little bit harder to play, but it acclimates with training. You become a stronger player and get a better sound for a good price. One string set costs as much the strings before, but I can use them two months longer. That means I...

I recently reviewed the 10-60s version of these Zakk Wylde GHS Boomers and this review will be ultimately very similar. Personally, I prefer to go higher than a .60 if I am dropping below C so I decided to try these strings out for C Flat Standard to Drop A. I've never been able to achieve a gauge that I am truly happy with for these tunings...until now! These Boomers are PERFECT for these tunings, in my opinion/preference. The good: They have an excellent sound and clarity to them. I have experienced some bad note bleeds with this gauge from other manufacturers in the past but these GHS Boomers don't seem to have that problem which I am delighted about. They have a nice bright high end with a solid and chunky low end! Great for heavy music and blues. The Bad: Nothing....literally...

I am a lifelong user of Daddario strings and I always choose the EXL116 for my guitars that I use for playing in a full step down (D Standard) and drop C and these strings fit the bill every time! These are some of the highest quality strings on the market for the price. I know some people prefer the more expensive brands but in my personal opinion (having used basically every string on the market) these strings have the same, if not better, durability and lasting life as the more expensive brands. These strings give a perfect mellow sound for those bluesy/clean riffs but also have more than enough bite for rock and heavy metal. I highly recommend these strings for D Standard and drop C tunings! If you want to go to drop B or A, then I recommend the EXL117's which give you just a bit...

It's a sad day when you realise you can't enjoy any of your four electric guitars. Two need set up and two have horribly rusty strings (my fault, I should change them more often than annually). Enter this cute little blue box. I'm a big Daddario fan, their EXL strings have been on my guitars for years. They stay bright and fresh for ages longer than their rivals and I've only snapped one in the last decade (due to a wonky jazzmaster bridge, not the string's fault). I'm a bit of a chord basher and these strings take a lot of punishment and stay sounding great for far too long. Well done Daddario. I like this big box, no excess packaging and the string sets are in the standard grey bag, was easy enough to chuck a few spare sets in my gig bag without messing around with endless...

Ernie Ball's .11 - .48 is definitely one of my favorite guitar string sets. I've always enjoyed having the high E string a bit thicker while the bottom E medium. The purity in the sound of the strings last a long time, so I highly suggest these. Pros. 1. Long lasting sound purity. Like I said in the beginning the sound lasts a good amount of time. When doing shows and having rehearsals, a single set lasted me about solid 3 months before I started to notice that the sounds purity is wearing down. 2. Comfortable. Definitely comfortable and plays well. As a guy with thick fingers, these played really well and really comfortably. 3. Durable. I used to play in a Glam Metal band with these, so solo's with intensive bends was an everyday thing. I am still surprised that not once any of these...
