Nanoweb Light : Elixir Nanoweb Strings

12 years ago

I had heard a lot about Elixir strings, but never actually tried them myself. The first thing you'll notice is the actual coating. It is a very thin coating that feels like a mixture of rubber and plastic (not in a bad way though). The material is very fast and not sticky at all. The sound of the strings is very bright and metallic, which I personally prefer. You easily get used to the coated feeling of the strings, so that's no problem. While keeping the bright sound you can feel the coating wearing out after 3-4 weeks. Especially right above the frets the coating was totally worn out, which lead to more friction and resistance between the frets and the strings. This resulted in very un-smooth bends and an awful metal-on-metal feel.
