I think we got a bit off the actual original topic.
I already know that I love the Pyramid strings and I use them on all my other guitars.
It's just they don't come in the sizes that a Rick is set up to in the factory and I was wondering how much adjustment was going to be necessary if I changed over to the Pyramid strings instead of buying the sets of Rickenbacker's own strings.
As it seems it's only going to involve a little bit of intonation adjustment on the 5th and 6th, I'll most likely go with the Pyramids.
However, I will try out the Rick strings and who knows, maybe I'll fall in love with the sound and the feel and decide it's worth the extra cash.
I'll post when I get the guitar. 62 days and counting ...
Thanks again for all the input. |

Peter: I stand corrected. Seems I read somewhere about the topic (not here apparenly), but I believe your phrase about the "gauge used [being] reasonable" hits the nail on the head.
Ricardo, we're so accustomed to seeing Pyramid flatwounds, that those are what I think we assumed you were referring to. Those roundwounds are really inexpensive! Even D'Addarios go for $5-6 here, although there are lots of cheaper brands too I'll admit. |

I noticed a pretty big tone difference on my 360 when I switched back to the standard "factory" tape wound strings.
I've gone the whole gambit of trying out different strings.
Regular gauge, light gauge, and lite top/heavy bottom.
I wasn't satisfied with the sound until I went back to the original. Expensive but well worth it in my opinion. |
