Hello there, welcome back to another guitar string review for you! In this brief article, I would like to introduce you to a really decent German string manufacturer, Pyramid Strings and also provide you with their only 7 String electric guitar string set, Pyramid 7 String review!

About Pyramid Strings
Pyramid Strings is a long-established small German company that manufactures strings for almost any stringed instrument, including electric & acoustic guitars, basses, nylon strings, ukulele and banjo strings, violin, oud, bouzouki, saz, lute, etc. They have been making strings since 1850, respect! 
Check out all content featuring Pyramid strings here.
After I tried the 7-string version on my Schecter, I really liked them and already bought many, including 7-strings, 9-42, 10-46 and 11-48, stock up enough for a year or so! 🙂
I have used them for quite a long time and still have some in stock. They have been actively manufacturing strings since 1850! I have heard about and seen their products while working in the MI industry. Especially their saz (bağlama, which is a Turkish folk instrument) and oud strings were pretty popular among other brands. 
At that time, I never really paid attention to or tried their strings before. Pyramid Strings always reminded me of a cheap brand of strings. However, since I have been on a quest to find the most suitable and sustainable strings for my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid PT-7 7-string electric guitar, I have bought many string sets to try and see for myself.

Pyramid 7 String
This time, I also bought many string sets by Pyramid strings, including their 7-string set and 6-string sets (9-42 gauge). Pyramid 7 String is the only 7 String set that the company manufactures. Among dozens of big string manufacturer and their 7 String guitar sets, Pyramid 7 String is the 4th cheapest and one of the best-rated strings by real users at Thomann!
Pyramid 7 String set features 10-56 (10-13-17-26-36-46-56). At first, I was worried that the tension would be too high at standard tuning, as many user reviews had stated that on a 25.5-inch scale 7-string, the Pyramid 7-string would feel tense already.
However, when compared to similar gauges, I thought I should give it a try! The problem with 26.5 inches scale length is that the low-E string most of the time results in a bit of a wobbly feel (open string only). I believe this is the reason why guitar manufacturers also produce multi-scale guitars. 
When I tried different gauges and different brands, I almost had this feeling that I shouldn’t apply too much picking force on the low-E string, which is a shame, really! Even when I tried D’addario NYXL09564SB, which costs more than 3 times the Pyramid 7-string set gave me the same impression, so I wasn’t really hopeful. But I must say Pyramid 7-string has given me the best result so far out of any brand that I have tried! Given the fact that it’s so affordable, I strongly believe this set can be my favourite on my 7-string.
Schecter Hellraiser Restringing & Instrument Care
The price tag is incredible if you consider these strings are handmade in Germany, and this allows guitar players to stock them and change strings every few weeks! 
On the first day with a fresh Pyramid 7-string set, I had spent 4-5 hours playing and managed to get plain strings corroded (they already started changing colour), however, this would exactly happen in any string brand (except coated strings), so I must say I’m very, very impressed!
I also wanted to record a quick video of me randomly playing and show you what a fresh set of Pyramid 7 strings would sound like. In this video, I used my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid PT-7, Pyramid 7 String, ENGL E570 Tube Preamp, and ENGL Cabloader directly recorded into my laptop via the RME Babyface PRO audio interface. Also, I used my Creative speakers as my monitor. 
Sound Demo (no talking)
For anyone reading this article, I can confidently recommend Pyramid 7 strings! If you can, buy more than one set and stock them; you won’t regret it and will be able to change your strings more often and always have a fresh playing feel!
I had also released an article in which I tested La Bella HRS-73 7 string review, don’t forget to check this out too!
Pricing & Availability
As usual, my go-to music webstore would be Thomann. I often place orders on Thomann, and also add additional strings, such as Pyramid ones! 🙂 Note that I bought multiple Pyramid 7-string sets for €5.60 back in the day. But it currently retails at €6.60, which is around 17% inrease. I think if you are interested in these strings, buy them in bulk, and protect yourself from further increases.
