Pyramid Pure Nickel Classics Round Core These strings are Pyramid's premium quality professional electric sets. They use a round core wire instead of the commonly used hexagonal core wire used in today´s strings. Round core strings must be wound with special care, with selected materials and certain techniques to get the desired sound results. The high-quality nickel wire which is used with these strings has a purity of 99.2%. The materials and skilled production techniques are responsible for the unequalled tone of these strings: silky, silver-shimmering tone with unbelievable sustain. Not really for heavy metal rockers but tone hunters and vintage guitar collectors will relish them. There are two types, in addition to the normal sets they are also available with the wound strings hand polished, this minimise the finger noise, perfect for recording. Very important: As with all round core strings, after putting on a new string do not cut the wound strings to the desired length, because the wrap wire can loosen and the string will go “dead”! At first make a sharp Z bend into the string where the free end leaves the machine-head, then cut the string behind this bend.
