Nanoweb Light Acoustic : Not for everyone, but brilliant for me

11 years ago

I know not everybody has issues with regular strings, and I know not everybody likes the sound of coated strings or the feel of coated strings, but for me, these are a life-saver (or rather, a moneysaver!). I first tried elixirs when they were brand new around 2004 and I haven't used anything since, when given a choice. I have several electrics and 2 acoustics (Taylor 214 and Gibson Dove) and all have elixir nano webs. Something about my sweat means ernie balls and D'addarios last no more than a few hours before starting to go black, and they feel "draggy" compared with the slippy-slidy elixirs. I can easily get 3 months out of a set if gigging weekly, or longer if it's not one of my main guitars. I won't use anything else.
