Looking for 3 criteria regarding new strings...

Rumblefisher · #1 07-02-2009, 03:04 PM

I'm looking for strings that are nickel, flatwound, and have a round core. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help!

EDIT: Basically, flat Sunbeams

Also, not TI flats...thanks.

NorCal Dog:

I just checked out pyramid golds...their site says the strings are chrome steel, not nickel.

?
EDIT: Apparently, they dont have them on their webiste but juststrings.com has them. Thanks again. Any other suggestions?

that would be a chrome steel round core, with a pure nickel flat wrap

same as their pure nickel roundwounds, which also sound great

i buy mine here http://tone-man.com/pyramid.htm
