Pyramid Nickel Classics Light 009-042

I use these strings on my Fender Strat. I was looking for a kind of string which could give my a vintage tone. And that's what I found finally.

As I've put Pyramid on my Strat I noticed that the sound was way deeper than usual. It reminded my a lot of Hendrix. There's surely something special about these strings and I think I'm going to buy more. Anyway the things that immediately jumped to my ears are:
1) nice smooth sound, if you like 60s and early 70s rock.
2) They cut the mix more than I could imagine (and that's maybe the most important thing)
3) So easy to play (maybe too easy, I think I'll go for 10-46 next time)
4) Great sound if you play slide

Another good thing about these is sustain. And they also keep the tuning quite well. ANYWAY consider that you'll have to adjust intonation on your guitar a little bit. This, as far as I know, is due to the round core. We're talking about minor adjustments, nothing dramatic. Worth the price.

If you're looking for mellow strings, for creamy good old blues and vintage rock, this is the way to go.

Well, I thought I`ll try something new, because I was still looking for the best sound. But then... sound wise these strings blew my long-term all-around favorite Ernie Balls (10-46, Slinkies) out of the water and apparently, existence. Sorry, Ernies, you served me well, but then... both nickel plated steel and Cobalt series just were no match for the Pyramids. Same with D`Addarios and countless Dunlop types. These are THE BEST SOUNDING Strat strings I have ever, ever, ever played. Mellow, round, but not dull - I guess many of you have looked for such combination. Raw, but not harsh; vintage-y volume, but not weak. The nickel is soft as a material though, so the string life expectancy is reduced, but that is expected. I find them to be simply the best strings ever. Try, if you are searching for the vintage tones and you shouldn`t be disappointed.
Works wonders with overdriven tones and hearty attack. An absolute unit for rock, punk-rock and indie and good old blues, so, very versatile as well. Try it.
