Hey, I have been listening to guitarist on line rabbiting on about Elixir Strings for yonks...., I have been using the usual line of strings not paying much attention, cause a string is a string right ! Rubbish, this is my first time to use Elixir Strings and now I know what all the hype was about.

Firstly, they are expensive. I've experiment with several brands, in hopes to find a cheaper alternative, I'ved used Martins/Ddarrio/Cleartone. And I've now given up my search, Elixirs simply are the best string in every way. Last long, smoth to the touch and sound brilliant! I'm just going to stick with Elixir from now on.

Hey, I've been using Elixir strings for about 10 years or so and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who does a lot of hours of playing. They really do stay brighter longer than ordinary un-coated strings, which does justify the extra initial cost of buying them.. they are a bit expensive! Still, they last a long time, are very smooth and silky to play.. I like them! The lites are a good standard gauge but I have one or two guitars that work well with the custom-lite gauge (lighter top 3 strings).. depends on the instrument. Elixir have confused things a bit by offering 2 coated strings.. the 'Polyweb' originals and the 'Nanoweb' which were a later innovation. I've used both and you soon get used to either and then it's hard to remember what the others were like! On balance I've decided I prefer the smoothness of the Polys but to be honest there's not a lot in it.. whichever version you choose, Elixir strings are well worth considering, especially if you're a 'high-mileage' player! Enjoy.. Px :))

if your looking for long lasting great tone guitar string, then look no further elixir are the best ive used and im playing for 30 years
