Elixir Nanoweb Light Acoustic 5-stars Reviews

Not for everyone, but brilliant for me

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.

Great tone and feel

I play a Takamine and a Gibson J-45, but not that often. As a result, my acoustic guitar strings tend to tarnish through lack of use so I made up my mind to use Elixirs and I have not been disappointed. The guitars still sound like they have new strings on after quite a long time of hanging on the wall.

Nice strings - lasts a long time

This is the kind of product that you don't notice the awesomeness of right away. They sound good but so do most stings when you put them on. These strings simply sound good for a much longer time. I used to change strings (what seemed like) all the time. Now I change them once a year. New strings still sound better than old ones, but it is no where near as big a difference as with 'normal' strings. They just doesn't go dull the same way 'normal' strings does.

They don't break easily either. And I dig in hard on my strings!

Elixir Nanoweb Acoustic light Guitar strings

Simply the best acoustic guitar strings on the planet, I would not use anything else, long lasting and a great price too, put them on and forget about changing them for a few months

This is only my opinion...

....but I believe these are the best strings you can buy. Absolutely shining sound, feels wonderful under your fingers, and lasts a pretty long time! I do music professionally and can say these string stand up to my high expectations of what strings should sound like and feel like.

I would recommend these to anyone that wants their guitar to sound its absolute best.

Love the Elixirs

A few years ago I tried the early versions of long-life coated strings and I hated them. The coating seemed to react to the moisture from my hands and degrade very quickly. It used to flake off, leaving the strings feeling rough and uncomfortable to play.

Fast-forward to eighteen months ago when I bought my first Taylor acoustic guitar. Taylor fit Elixir strings as standard and I was very, very impressed by how long they retained that crisp, new-sounding resonance, as well as by how good they feel. This type of string has clearly improved a lot since the early days. I love them and will now use nothing else on my acoustic guitar.

Elixir-Strings

I use Elixir strings for my acoustic-guitars for years now, because they sound really well.

The most important point about those strings is the durability.

It's true, that those strings got a good tone so many weeks, even with sweaty hands.

In my opinion those strings are a bit too brilliant in the first hours, but it gets well soon.

Best strings for my acoustic guitar

The first time i bought the Elixir Nanoweb Light Acoustic i could not believe how my guitar sounds like (Cort Earth 70)...They are very deep and bright for a long time. The price is also okay for this great endurance. I will now only use this Elixir strings on all my Guitars.

Worth the extra money

I have now become a true convert to these strings. My guitars live out of their cases and are played regularly, both for practice and performing. They stay bright far longer than standard strings and that alone justifies the price. They are also much nicer to play. Fingers slide more easily and string squeak is greatly reduced though not eliminated. Use don an acoustic, electric and 12 string. Darn good!

Great strings

last 3-5 times as long while costing only 2x as much. you do the math!

Furthermore, the sound is great.

Great Strings

These strings are fantastic. They may cost a little more than regular strings but I now see why. I always avoided buying them but then I got a packet of Elixir strings as a present and I've been using them ever since. They give your acoustic guitar a great tone which lasts, as advertised 3-5 times longer than regular strings. I can only recommend them.

best ever

Great tone, nice feel and long lasting - so long as you don't beat the crap out of them with too much heavy strumming. Light strumming and fingerstyle - lovely. Long life justifies extra cost.
