Pyramid Gold Chrome-Nickel Flat Wound Round Core Electric Light 10-465

I used to buy Thomstik/Infield but now I'm on social security and these are the next best thing.

These are excellent strings.

I have used many flatwound strings over the past 20 something years. I started with DR then when to Thomastik Infield. Then D'Addario and now Pyramid. Whether I'm using the Dynasonic bridge pickup for the P90 neck pickup on my Gretsch hollow body, I get the tones I'm looking for: Chicago Blues, Rockabilly, Surf, 60s Garage, and 70s punk.

The pyramid strings are the best in my opinion. They have the sound of round strings (bright and twangy) and the lowest string tension of any flatwound set I've tried.

The great people at Strings by Mail through in a nice 4-in diameter pyramid string sticker which is going on my water bottle.

I always buy my strings and picks from Strings by Mail due to them having the lowest price even after shipping, great customer service, always ships same day or next.

I love these strings. They sound great, like the ones I
first tried at the urging of my guitar lessons teacher
back in 1967. Very comfortable with no finger noise.
They have been and will always be my first choice.

These strings sound amazing. Bright and jangly without being shrill. They feel good too, not quite as smooth as some other flatwounds but still smooth with little finger noise. My only con is that the gauge of the D and G strings are a bit heavy for bending. They feel punchy and great though. After all, a little British combo used these in their early days, how can you go wrong?
