Description

Elixir Strings are trusted by players worldwide from home to stage for their longest-lasting tone. Our advanced NANOWEB Technology protects the entire string, even the gaps between the windings from debris buildup that deadens your tone. Your strings will sound and feel better for longer, saving you money and time without the hassle of endless string changes. These premium acoustic strings, crafted with phosphor bronze, deliver a full-bodied, rich tone and sparkling high-end clarity with a smooth and comfortable feel. So every note you play resonates with clarity and precision to match your passion. From the Manufacturer Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set.Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire provide a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our POLYWEB® Coating, the NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, smooth feel. For a slicker, faster feel, try a set of strings with our POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings.Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.

  • The best strings I tried
Style: Single Set 6-String Size: 10-47
I had a buddy tell me that I had to try these. He said that they easily last twice as long as normal strings, and they sound better the longer you play them. Turns out, he was right. The reason why is because the coating used to protect the strings does dull the sound a little bit. and you don't truly get a true feel for what they can sound like until they're really broken in. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Just don't change your strings right before a show. They do last twice as long, though, and even out-of-the-package, they sound better than most other strings I've tried. I typically used Martin strings before mostly because I felt that if Martin makes such awesome guitars, they must make Martin strings to go with them. The strings I usually purchased where the Martin Authentic Lifespan 2.0. I personally own two Taylors and a Takamine acoustic, and most folks know that Taylors come stock with Elixir strings. Personally, I think that's because it helps Taylor sell guitars. When I was playing the Martin next to the Taylor at the music store, I preferred the sound of the Taylor. It was strong in the mids, subdued but still bright in the highs, and they had a wonderfully subdued bass sound that you could feel more than you could hear. The Martin seemed more well rounded, but the Taylor stood out because it rang out much longer. I think it was the strings, and I didn't realize this until knowingly changing from my normal Martin strings to the Elixers on my guitars at home. Three guitars all produced superior results for different reasons. On my old Takamine workhorse, the Elixir strings produced a lot more sustain from a fairly weak sounding guitar. I was used to having to plug it in if I wanted people to be able to hear the guitar over my singing, and that became no longer necessary. On my Taylor Mini, the Elixirs greatly reduced the clinky sound strumming made, which was overwhelming with the Martin strings. This was the most noticeable difference. The Mini sounded really bad with the Martin strings by comparison. On my baby, though, that punch from the bass that you can feel more than you can hear has returned. It doesn't sound like it produces a very loud sound, but that sound carries a long way. I love singing with it. It's the only guitar of the three where I can actually hear the strings ring out loud enough to harmonize my voice with them, and I am truly in love with that feeling. I wasn't able to attain that nearly to the same degree with the Martin strings. The other thing that I want to point out is that these seem to be easier to tune, and they stay in tune. usually, when I first string a guitar, I like to strum around a little bit and then retune. I've been finding that with these strings, I don't have to. Plus, it's actually kind of strange if I pick it up and it's out of tune. I truly believe the strings have something to do with that. ... show more

  • Best Guitar Strings
Style: Single Set 6-String Size: 10-47
These are definitely the best strings I’ve played with. The sound you get for the price is well worth it. They feel great, sound great, and last a long time. I would definitely recommend them.

  • Good tone and long lasting
Style: Single Set 12-String Size: 10-47
My go to strings for both my Guilds, Martin and Taylor guitars. Let’s face it most of us who play hate changing strings. It used to be that after a couple of months strings just sounded flat and needed to be changed. Elixir has solved that problem. I can get six months of decent sound out of these. Four acoustic guitars and changing strings every other month was not an option. The Elixir nano web coated strings are a game changer. I know some who don’t like the sound (they are few in number in my circle) but that is a preference not a criticism. If you’ve never tried them I highly recommend you give them a shot. ... show more

  • Wow! Nice product

Ok I finally got around to trying these. I'm officially impressed! Put a set of 10 to 47 phosphor bronze on my. Mahogany solid top acoustic, and I love the tone, also the feel of the strings.

  • The durability of these strings plus good sound makes them a smart buy
Style: Single Set 6-String Size: 10-47
I play guitar a lot, but I've only been playing a few years and I have limited exposure to strings. That said, I have a background in piano/keyboard and I've been playing music all my life. I've been through about a dozen different sets of strings on a few guitars I own. These run the gamut from inexpensive (Ernie Ball Earthwood) to standard (D'Addarios) to high end Elixirs and Cleartones. The Elixir Nanoweb is my second favorite I've used on both my Yamaha and Ovation A/E guitars with the Elixir Polyweb being my favorite thus far. Here's why: The coating does affect string sound and I noticed it for the first session or two of playing. After that, what stood out to me was that the strings never lost their tone. For weeks. Ernie Ball Earthwoods sound great when installed, but after a week of playing, I can feel and hear them start to deaden out. The Elixirs take a hit on day one and two, but they don't wear down for weeks at a time. Months even. To me, by the time I am on my fifth session of playing (in one-to-two hour sessions), the Elixirs start to surpass the others and they continue to shine at that level for quite a long time. In fact, degradation of sound was so minuscule on my last set that I never heard it. I changed out the strings when I began to see visible marks at the fret and pick area (assuming where the coating was starting to chip/wear). The change did make them sound better... I could tell after I put the new ones on that the old ones were worn, but it was minor. In short, you pay three times more for these strings, but you should get five times more life out of them. To me, choosing a $5-$6 set of strings instead is being penny wise and pound foolish. ... show more

  • Great strings for my electro-acoutstic
Style: Single Set 6-String Size: 10-47
On HIS insistence, I had my luthier buddy throw a set of these on my electro-acoustic a week before a show (new strings and going from lt-med to extra-lt made me a bit nervous!). He was right! These are very nice strings. They have a clearer tone than the phosphor-bronze strings I was using. It's very noticeable. Also, since I'm used to playing with 10's on my electrics, I'm finding I can bend these with relative ease, granted I went down one notch, but part of it is definitely the strings. In particular, I found it much easier to play Alice In Chains unplugged leads with these strings. Sure, they're not as loud, but when you amp an electro-acoustic, all you have to do is turn up the volume, and they handled my heavy strumming and bending without breaking - haven't changed them in almost a month, playing 1/2hr every other night unplugged, with 2-3hrs on weekends, and they still sound fine. I'm cheap and lazy, and I don't generally care if my electroacoustic has fresh strings, just so long as it has 6 of them - lol! My luthier is a great guy - rescued this guitar from becoming kindling (I could not get the action down to save my life - stupid Guitar Center bait and switch! Play the nice guitar, take home the one tuned down 3 frets because the neck and bridge are so screwed-up - figure it out after the warranty is up!). Bottom line: These strings sound great for both leads and rhythms, hold-up very nicely, and you can play pretty hard on them without any breaking. I'm glad I bought them. ... show more
