Pyramid Electric Strings 009-046

I have always been a friend of hybrid-string-sets, because thinner treble-strings allow easier bendings and fat bass-strings give you a punchy and powerful sound in the bottom. I have always used an anlog string-set by Ernie Ball (Hybrid Slinky, 2222), but then I found the Pyramid-strings in same gage. They feel a little bit different and sound a little bit different (in my opinion a little bit more peak in the heights), but the most important factor for me: they are cheaper. If you change a lot of strings you will notice saving money! Another positive aspect is the criterion "Made in Germany" - as a german guy I'm not to patriotic, but I like it to support the European community and saving jobs instead of investing in an Amercian company.
All in all: the strings feel good and you have a lot fun when playing guitar!

No gimmicks, inexpensive well made strings, good tone, they hold well.

Feel. They don't feel weirdly slippery like new Ernie Ball's, not as harsh on the fingers as some others.
Inexpensive without being cheaply made.
No plastic packaging, which I like but means I'm not buying in bulk (good for the environment, bad for long term storage).
Tone is just the usual nickel on steel.
They rust about the same pace as D'Addario's imo, which is normal and fine. As usual, just remember to wipe your strings after playing and they'll hold twice as long.

Hybrid sets are great! I wish they also did balanced tension sets like D'Addario though.

Pyramid guitar strings, what can i say. If not for thomann i would not have heard of them ! I have used all the usual well known brands for over thirty years (i'm forty four). I have had good but sometimes bad experiences wih 'well known ' strings. But i must say after reading a few reviews online i decided to try them for myslf. The thing is i was concerned that maybe the strings were not so good because they were not expensive ! These strings are very good. They are of excellent quality. Excellent tone, and respond very well to bending. I use the same strings in heavier gauge for my gretsch. These are perfect for the fender. Cant fault them. My strings of choice.
