Elixir Polyweb Light Acoustic Reviews

superb

as usual absolutely fantastic quality... slicker and faster on my Taylor in Eb

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.

long lasting - work for

spent years looking for the right strings. - I had to change mine every 4 shows before - these last months. - you pay more , but overall its s having in my experience

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!

warm strings

I use these string with a Taylor 114.

These are just the perfect strings for the sound I am looking for, a mildly dark and warm sound.

These strings are a feasible alternative to the elixir nanoweb, and they are great in taming the otherwise excessive brightness of the Taylor.

Excellent strings.

I use these strings on a Harley Benton Custom line. they have a rich, warm tone which has transformed the sound of this guitar. They also have slinky, "fast" feel to them. I know they are slightly more expensive than some other makes but I think that they are well worth the money. I shall certainly purchase these strings again.

Strange feel

I use Polyweb on electric guitar, so wanted to give it a try on acoustic. Ordered light set: 0.12 - 0.53

Feel of the strings under the hand was harsher than Nanoweb. Durability of strings was also noticeably shorter then Nanoweb.

Sound was OK-ish.

I would not recommend Polyweb for acoustic guitar.

Really warm

Great replacement for my HB CLA-16SCE acoustic which had originally D'Addario EXP-16. Initially I went with nanoweb, the feel was excellent, but the tone was not there (too bright).

With these strings, the guitar sounds really well rounded and punchy.

Recommended!

Great strings

very nice worm and clear sound that last for weeks

very good

Elixir strings have given back life to my guitar. I prefer the bronze ones normally but for one of my guitars I always take this one as they are smooth sounding and yet with excellent dynamic

great strings

Really a great strings. 80/20 bronze is a great option

They are on the guitar for 6 months and still sound good, no sign of wear either for this the Polyweb are better than others I have tried.

Best acoustic strings on the market

You will get 12 months + out of these

Very good strings

Elixir are, to me, the best strings of the market. The life-length is just amazing, and the sound is great, neither too brilliant nor too dark.

I strongly recommend !
