Nanoweb Custom Light : Yet another good Elixir string set

9 years ago

This set came to together with another Elixir set for baritone guitar - Elixir Nanoweb Baritone. Classic gauge 9-46 with signature Elixir brightness perfectly works on Strat-, Tele- or any other single coil type of guitars adding even more twang to your clean tone. This is first thing I enjoyed in this strings set.

The second surprise is crunch and drive effect - this set brings quite balanced tone. Not perfectly, but it is good to have a bit extra presence and pronunciation. In the mix or in live band situations you will be easily heard.

Same as set for baritone - these strings lives a long time. To be honest I find more profitably to get this set for its price than buy two sets of different strings. I really like how long they last. You may sacrifice something that you like in other strings tone but if you want to put one set that could live a long time - you probably should go with this Nanoweb series.

Signature Elixir coating also reduces a bit extra finger noise that fingers produce changing position on a fretboard.

Overall string quality is superb they hold tension very well during whole their life and no any flabbiness is noticeable even in drop-tuning moments. The one more thing I?ve noticed is that you do not need a lot of time to wait them to stretch when put new set on guitar. They don?t lose their tension so much at the beginning as well. These are put?n?play strings, I?d say.
