Nanoweb Light : Good and nice, but not for everyone.

9 years ago

Elixirs are quite peculiar strings.

On the one hand, we get an advertised long lifespan of strings - their tone deteriorates much longer than such of conventional strings (but is is necessary to say, that tone does degrades eventually, because it's not only about corrosion, but also about the flattening of strings' winding over frets).

On the other hand, Elixirs never have that incredible brilliance which fresh conventional strings provide. Also, we get that funny feel of coated strings, which can be a bit confusing.

And there is one more peculiarity about these strings. They seem to have a little more tension while having the same gauge as conventional non-coated strings. And this makes them sort of unpredictable for me, so I can't point out exactly, do I love or hate them.
