Calico Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has tried pyramid strings on a J-45 or any other slope shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Was thinking about it as one of the main gigging acoustic singer songwiters in Prague swears by them and uses them religiously on his Lowden jumbo. But in the end I came to the conclusion Im too satified with DR Sunbeams on my mahogany guitars and EXP's on the SWD, so didnt follow up on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The Beatles did. . . ^ - admit I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschaafs Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have used them on several guitars and I really like them a lot. I haven't bought any for some time because the exchange rate makes them pretty expensive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't bought any for some time because the exchange rate makes them pretty expensive now. Stringsbymail.com has them for $12.95 and I thought about throwing them in on an order. I guess I'll give em a shot. I like DR Sunbeams so I want to figure out how they compare to the sunbeams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I tried them recently and really like them. I had been using John Pearse strings religiously for several years. After trying my first set of Pyramid Premium Bronze strings on my J-45 Legend, I orded several more sets from juststrings.com. I orded the medium gauge for the J-45 and some "semi-lights" (11s) to try on my vintage L-00. Great sounding strings. I recommend you give them a try. Pricey, but worth it to me.

6stringTom Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Can anyone offer a description of what you like about these strings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack6849 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Their light-gauge flatwounds are really cool for electrics, and can give you that Beatles "Day Tripper" sound. Especially great on semi-hollowbody electric guitars. (Gibson, Gretsch, ... etc.) Pricey, yes, but able to deliver a unique tone...with very nice playability.
