Great for plugged acoustic

I use these for playing live with a plugged in guitar. They are smoother and make less noise. Great sound, durability and playability.

Elixir strings are the best

Best sounding strings and last much longer than other brands

They sound great and last a long time

Exactly what you'd expect from Elixir.

Nice and bright sound with tight mids and lows, last a very long time.

Depending how you play, the coating might start chipping off where you strum, but that's just how it goes.

Awesome strings

I love Elixir strings. Best quality in my opinion. I normally use Nanoweb but decided to try these on my Taylor Big Baby as they advertised a warner tone, and I wanted to get a fuller sound from the small body of the guitar. Works as described: They deliver a warmer and richer tone compared to the Nanoweb. I also find them smoother to play along the neck. Perfect for my needs.

Fabulous String

Have been using this exact string for approx 6 years. Beautiful tone, warm, yet clear, and IMHO, easier movement of fingers on the string than many others. Less crisp thsn the nano version, but this suits me. The 12/53 suits me, but I intend on trying the 12/56s at some point.

Not a cheap string, but worth the money imo.

Highly recommended.

Very nice feel and last long

They just seem to last for months without any problems and are very nice-sounding. I prefer them to nanoweb mainly because the coating doesn't get damaged as fast in the picking area.

Sufficient for working musicians

Sound takes a bit more than other strings to settle, in the meantime it's too metallic. Then the strings sound ok for a few weeks, not too elegant but quite brittle and reliable to dial up your sound with eq, effects etc. After that time the sound goes mediocre. Thus they do last long , but not with great sound for the lasting time they claim!

Worth the price!

They may be one of the more expensive guitar strings out there, but trust me, they're worth it. The sound and feel of these is fantastic! And they actually last much, much longer so in a long run, you'll actually save money on strings with these!
