They are expensive for sure, and probably out of the budget for this college player, but I will be trying to only use pyramids for my guitar from now on.
I agree that they are stupid expensive. But I also found that they last quite a bit longer than the cheaper strings. I was switching my strings out every week to ten days if I was playing daily. I had been using the Ernie Balls, Fenders and a few others. The Zebops lasted a month. So I do the math and it's a wash. And of course the benefit is that you get to use a better string, the guitar sounds better and you don't have to swap them out nearly as much.

My LP sounds great with the Pyramids, it's amazing loud unplugged, rings like an acoustic. I dig em.
