12050 Polyweb Light : Long lasting, great sounding.

Use:

I use Elixers on all my guitars. Tele, PRSCU24, LP and a custom build. I gig at least once a week (twice most weeks) and practice for aprox 4 hours/week.

Pros:

They 'stretch in' really quickly and hold tuning excellently. These are lasting me for 8 or 9 gigs (as opposed to 2 gigs with Ernies or D'addies) and they still sound pretty new when I change them!

Cons:

Sound a little bit darker than uncoated strings and the coating starts to flake off (for me) after 7or 8 gigs.

Overall:

Excellent value for money on a £/gig basis. These are reliable, good quality strings and well worth the money.

Although they aren't quite as 'bright' as uncoated strings, they sound almost the same the day I take them off as they did the day I put them on. They don't go 'dead' the way uncoated strings do.

I definitely recommend trying a pack
