All you guys who use d'addario and fender flats should really try
pyramid gold flatwounds. I'm trying my first set and they have been
on my Jazzmaster for 7 weeks. By this time I would have used 2 sets
of d'addarios. Another nice bit about the pyramids is that they are
actually pure nickel strings just like they were in the '60s, also
they don't wear down your frets as much. When I went from the
d'addario flats to the pyramids I noticed the pyramids had less
tension, and I actually backed off the truss rod adjustment.

if you want to keep that twang. You will lose all of the twang with
flatwounds. I love twang as well in certain applications and
therefore I keep roundwound 9's on my Tele's.
