  • Worth every penny if you take care of them!
Size: Super Light (.009-.042) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
They will last and last... if you keep a level of maintenance! I recommend cleaning your fretboard thoroughly before changing strings and keeping your guitar in a properly maintained humidity level (or at least in a dry gig bag!). MOST IMPORTANT: I use Fast Fret before and after I play (some mineral oil on a lint-free cloth will work just about as well), and my Elixirs last months and months. It is a discipline, much like how the Samurai kept his blade clean, but will keep your strings in shape. For other brands, some tarnish or even rust may appear after a few weeks of normal use, and I would have to use WD-40 to remove it (just don't get it on the guitar's wood!!!). Sometimes it wouldn't help, and the strings (sometimes not even all of them, just the wounds or just the unwounds) would just sound dead and need to be replaced. Elixirs still sound good, and keep a consistent tone across all of the strings that sound nice. I can't say that they sound as bright as the day they came out of the package, but it's WAY more bang-for-your buck. I've also yet to see one spontaneously break on me under normal stress and tension, but I'm not about to tune my guitar higher to test my luck. I am a studio musician and play a lot, and from over 15 years of experience, these are my favorite strings. I'm currently recording an album with an Ibanez RG470 and the same strings I've had on for four months. Ask yourself: what's my time worth? Do I want to keep actually playing, or do I want to play guitar-tech all of the time? Changing strings sucks. Get Elixirs! ... show more

  • If you like coated strings, these are good ones
Size: Light (.010-.046) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
The coated string feel and sound is not for everyone, but it is what I’ve grown to prefer. Add in that the strings last way longer than uncoated and it’s a win-win if you like them. Definitely worth trying if you’ve never experimented with coated strings, and elixir makes my favorite coated strings and they’ve been doing it for years. Strings are completely subjective though so if you don’t love them, just keep trying different brands, types (coated vs uncoated), gauges, materials, etc until you find what you love. For me, it’s these polyweb 10s on electric and elixirs nanoweb 12s and 13s on my acoustics. ... show more

  • Holy moly! These things are beasts!
Size: Custom Light (.009-.046) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
Coming from Da'ddario 9. - 46.'s these things are incredible! My previous strings would show substantial ware after about a day if not less of playing. They played really well and bending was no issue but they really put a hole in my wallet after going through over 10 packs because they would just ware down and break after such a short time. However, THESE THINGS! They had the feel, AND the life span. I still have the same pack of strings on my guitar right now and after 2 months they are still holding up very nicely being a consistent player that bends alot. And they feel great to play! I would highly recommend these strings to anyone looking for slick and fast strings along with durability and longevity! 10/10 and two thumbs up. ... show more

  • Good but I think the nanoweb sounds better
Size: Light (.010-.046) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
I recently switched to the polyweb strings after my nanoweb ones snapped and while they are still good, I think the nanowebs were better in my opinion. The sound from the polyweb ones seems a bit sharper and a little less clean during my playing so far. I did however get a slightly larger gague this time around and I enjoy playing these a bit more as it seems easier to position my fingers on each seperate string. All around a great product, I would just personally reccomend the nanowebs over these ... show more

  • Elixir Rocks!
Size: Super Light (.009-.042) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
These strings last at least 10 times longer than any other strings I've used. I wipe them down every session and they always sound like new strings. The poly coating not only makes them last longer but also makes for much faster sliding and overall playing, particularly for lead guitar. I can't recommend them highly enough, I'd never use any other strings again even if they were free. ... show more

  • Haters gonna hate, but these strings are great!
Size: Light (.010-.046) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
I've been playing guitar for just about 40 years now. I have tried many brands of strings, coated and uncoated, and have heard the stories from other players about how Elixir uses just any string, coats them, and puts them in a box. I can neither confirm or deny these stories, but I can say that no matter what stings I try, I always come back to Elixir. They last 3 times longer than any other strings I have ever played. The coating reduces the string scratch substantially, and there is little resistance when I am playing through faster passages. I just can't beat these strings for tone, quality, and longevity. ... show more

  • A total game changer for sweaty hand players
Size: Light (.010-.046) Style: 6 String Set Pattern Name: Guitar Strings
If you are a sweaty handed ape like me, stop what you're doing right now and buy these strings. Every regular set of nickel strings I'd buy would be tarnished and dull within (no exaggeration) 2-3 days. I thought that was just the nature of guitar strings! Turns out it's just my sweaty hands causing strings to tarnish immediately. Even when I'd try wiping off the strings after playing they would still tarnish and dull so quickly. I've had my "new" guitar for a little over a year now and I came THIS CLOSE to spending $400 on a new set of pickups because I was so disappointed that they sounded so dull and muddy. I noticed that when I replaced the strings, the guitar would sound great for one, maybe two, days and then back to the muddy swamps. Well, I'm SO GLAD I gave these Elixirs a shot. They sound awesome and one week into restringing they're still bright and shiny and playing like new. Can't believe I waited this long. I can't recommend them enough. I've been teaching myself some old 70's hard rock solos that have crazy bends and have not managed to pop any strings yet, so extra bonus there. They seem durable. So happy with these. Buy them! ... show more
