  • I love these strings, and recommend them - but are a little pricey.
Size: Oct-46 Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
I love these strings, and for me, they keep their "new" strings, clangy, sound for a long time.

  • Not what they used to be
Size: Oct-46 Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
I've been a dedicated Elixer user from back in the days when Polyweb was their only coating. I've used Nanowebs on all my electrics and acoustics since their release and had loved their consistency and durability. Sadly, they just aren't as good as they used to be. They used to last for a couple of months before the coating would start to get fuzzy but now I only get one to two weeks before they start growing fur in the picking zone. I've also found that I often have to reset my intonation after changing strings. Maybe they've changed string wire suppliers, who knows. Anyway, I ordered a few more sets of Elixers to get me by while I test other strings. I hate to say goodby to an old friend but I am getting encouraging results from D'Addario XSs. I'll see how they do over the long haul. ... show more

  • Great solution for a lot of guitars.
Size: Oct-46 Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
So my issue is that I have a lot of guitars. I like rotating them through, always keeping 3 or 4 of them out on the stands. The problem that I was having with traditional strings was that every time I pulled a guitar out of the case after it had been sitting for over a month or so was that the strings were shot. There are few things I hate more than sticky dull strings. I'll admit that I have like super power level sweat that has a tendency to corrode stings faster that the other guitar player I know. I have always been on an endless quest to find better ways to keep my strings clean. Elixirs act king of like a layer of Teflon on a frying pan. Yes, the oils and sweat still can build on the string, but it wipes off so easily and they feel great immediately afterward. When they first came out 20 some odd years ago you could see the web coating on the string and i have to admit that it looked king of gross, but since these nanotechnology string have been out you can hardly even tell a coated from non-coated string. Elixir has a great process for processing these strings and now I use them exclusively. ... show more
