Best flatwound strings in the market
I was looking for a flatwound set with unwound 3rd (G) string, couldn't find anything like that in the market so I decided to go with Pyramid Gold True Vintage Flatwound set and a single .010 1st (E) string, that way I was able to get .010 .013 .018 .026 .036 .047 gauge set of my own which I am most comfortable with. the sound is dark, and it doesn't change at all. Flatwounds hardly ever brake so it's a great investment that won't kill your frets like steel round wound strings do. I use a 1952 Gibson ES 125 and these strings are perfect mate for my guitar.

outstanding quality of sound
After a lot of experimentation with other strings, I turned to these Pyramid heavy gauge flat wounds and I am astounded at how good they sound. They take a week to stretch, then another month before they start to sing. After that they are good for at least two years before fading and still they sound good! Beautiful voice and incredible sustain with an even volume across all six strings, and respond well to drop tuning.
Outstanding handmade strings that feel lovely to the touch, and I no longer use anything else.

Lovely feel
These are my first flatwound strings and I am basically just beginning playing guitar, so I can't quite say how these sound, compared to other strings.
I put these on Ibanez AS53-TF and they do feel great.
At first the feel was very odd, coming from roundwounds, but with each day I'm liking these strings more and more.

Came from 11s, pretty amazed.
Fits a Gretsch Electromatic G5420t without any problems, you'll need to adjust your Truss Rod for sure, that's the only thing.
I've player 11s for a couple years and now I jumped to 13s on this one.
Lovely strings for just about everything, but especially for Jazz.
Love them!
Yes you can still bend and vibrate with ease, no extreme Gilmour bends on this one but you can play blues if you wanted without any problem.
Playing chords is not as hard as people say in forums. Is as good as 11s but with the benefit of a MUCH better tone and much improved intonation stability.

Warmth and twang, long-lasting, solid feel
It is said that nickel is to steel as tube is to transistor, and the Pyramid Gold True Vintage Flatwound strings absolutely prove it. Boasting loads of warmth and twang, the 13s can be a bit heavy, but as your fingers get used to them, the feel is very solid and hands-on. After a gig with these bad boys you can tell by the gentle burning sensation in your finger joints that you have put in a good day's work. That said, as an ex bassist I feel right at home with them. They're harmonically rich, long-lasting and, above all, can take a serious beating.

aboslutely wonderful
Made me wonder why I waited so long before discovering these.
Prefered to TI and DA flatwounds.
Perfect tension all around. The wound string might need a while to settle.
Responds very well to different picks.
Lastly, they are offered at a wonderful price by Thomann.

Not your regular setup
The whole point was to make more darker sound of the guitar. But was surprised actually with not so lost brightness and clarity.
Strings were bought for a (kind of) baritone electric guitar just for experiment,but they have much more tension than regular roundwound even with this scale, so less wobble and tighter sound.
Would probably recommend for beginers just for practise, feels way easier to play.

Nice tone, nice feel.
very nice tone,feel. great if you hate string noise when your sliding around. Nice for a vintage sound too. Even use them on my Fender Jaguar. First got the bass strings, now they're on most of my guitars.
