  • My go-to strings every single time
I’ve been playing guitar for years and I always come back to Elixir. They just feel right. The tone is super clean, bright and smooth and they settle in fast without needing constant retuning. What really makes them stand out though is how long they LAAAAAAAST. I play pretty regularly and I used to swap out strings every couple of weeks. With these, I easily get a month or more of solid, fresh sound. Even after that, they’re still playable. You can feel the coating at first but it’s smooth, not weird or sticky, and honestly I forget it’s there after a few minutes of playing. Also, the value in the 3-pack is great. I’ve tried other brands that claim long life and clarity, but none have stayed as consistent as Elixir. I use these for everything from clean picking to heavier playing and they hold up. No dead strings out of the pack, no weird overtones, no surprises. If you care about tone and you don’t want to constantly be changing your strings, these are a no-brainer. They’re not the cheapest, but they’ve saved me way more in time and frustration than what I’d “save” buying cheaper packs. ... show more

  • These are my “go to” electric strings!!!!
These are my favorite strings! They just sound great!!! I also rarely break them and they seem to last a long time so I’m now changing my strings less since I started using them! I buy the 3 pack and keep the other 2 sets in the guitar case.

  • I Recommend These Strings
I love these guitar strings! I have them on 80% of my guitars. They have a longer use window and they sound great! I was introduced to them from a new guitar I bought, where the builder only prefers to use them on his builds.

  • Going good for my Strat
These are working well for my Sire S7. Recommended.

  • Incredible strings!
I have been using these strings for over a decade now. I am one of those players who quickly wears out standard strings due to whatever junk is coming out of my fingers. It only takes one gig to corrode them into becoming noticeably darker and after a couple days they are prone to breaking. But not these strings. I can easily get a month or more out of a set playimg regularly and they maintain the initial brightness and tone the entire time. I only need to change them after they have begun to physically wear down and develop intonation issues. Seriously, they play great, feel great, and sound great. They may cost about twice as much as a standard set but, if you are like me and find yourself corroding strings quickly, they will easily last you 10x as long making them an outstanding value. ... show more

  • Wonderful strings
Elixer Nanowebs are my favorite strings by far. The only strings I'll buy for my electrics.

  • Great clarity and insane longevity
Some of the best strings on the market. I play in two bands and these will last over a month easily, sometimes up to three depending on conditions. They may be a tad more expensive upfront than most, however your saving money in the long run with how long they'll last. The definitely hold their clarity and tone as they get played, which cannot be said for most other strings. Love them! ... show more

  • I like 'Em, so I Use 'Em
They are a pricey product. I order them here because they are more affordable. As a gigging guitar player I spend a lot of time playing. These coated strings are gentle on the fingertips and they don't corrode as quickly. The tone is as good if not better than other string brands I've used for over a half a century. String choices are a very personal choice amongst the populous so happy hunting. I like them so I use them. Don't be shy, give them a try. You decide. ... show more
