Word to the wise though, beware of the wound g (if that's the route you go) as I have had several unravel on me.

If it's the round core that unraveled, you are meant to put a bend in them before cutting them, which is easy with vintage fender tuners.
I use pyramids on one of my strats warms up the sound and smooths it out but my main strat doesn't need them and I prefer normal D'addario's on that one for the extra snap in the bass.

Got these back in stock (12's only):Bigdaddy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 2:04 pmIs that the Family Music Store? Got the Jazz Swing set in October. Do you have the 12-50 set in stock? They are way better than the d'addario chromes.mr_sooty wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 10:45 am I've never tried the Pyramid guitar strings, but I stock Pyramid Violin strings as a much cheaper alternative to the more expensive Thomastik strings which are the industry standard The Violin teachers hate the pyramids and ask their students not to get them. Perhaps we guitarists are less fussy than violin players. I stock Thomastik flatwound guitar strings but haven't actually tried them either.
