Elixir Nanoweb Light Acoustic 3-stars Reviews

Sounds quiet

Elixir strings can work great on an electric guitar since the pickups will take over most of the tone and after a few weeks the strings still keep a good tone. On an acoustic guitar the Elixir sound too quiet and lack dynamics. You can not seriously record with these. The tonewood of your acoustic guitar feels wasted. However those strings keep their tone. After 30hrs of playing the tone is pretty much the same as just installed.

expensive but still break

going to stick with the Harley B's

Sounded good but...

They sounded pretty good and lasted a while, but the coating flaked off from a few spots.

It wasn't too bad, but I will prefer other brands of coated strings in the future.

Nice if you like 80/20 bronze, I don`t.

The strings are fine, I love Elixir and everything they do but these strings compared to nanoweb phosphore bronze can`t stand a chance. These have slightly less highs and air presence and are a bit muddy in the low mids for my taste.

They do last for 6-8 shows of heavy playing and still sound and feel fresh just like any Elixir. Cheers!

bereft of character

I know lots of people like these strings, which was the reason for me to try them, but for me they totally did not work. It may be because I have an old guitar (a 1947 Gibson J45), but the strings sounded dull and were bereft of character. My guitar, which normally has a very distinct personality, turned into an anonymous non-entity. The strings clearly are well made, and there was no notable degradation in tone in the two weeks I had them on my guitar, but I'll not be using them again.

these are really birght, not for me

these are really birght, not for me. I keep going back to yahmaha string but if bright is your thing then these could be foe you. hated the sound of these strumming my singer said my guitar sounded like a banjo, and i didnt tell her i changed my strings.
