Elixir Nanoweb Light-Heavy

Great strings

Very durable and good sounding strings.

Just the usual Elixir quality, assured

Look no further if you seek durable and high quality wires.

10/10

The best strings i've seen

Good Sound

it has good quality and sound but there is one condition to take into consideration is string is very very smooth and slippery. Sometimes, it could be difficult to conttrol for bending.

Sweaty hands

I sweat a lot and any other string brand I've used is dead after 2-4 weeks of playing. Also, they sound amazing. I've experimented with several other brands, recorded the outcome, Elixir sounded and lasted the greatest.

extremely bright, very disappointed

I was looking forward to trying these strings given how highly rated they are, and ended up being extremely disappointed.

I tried them on a hollow body semi-acoustic, didn't plug them to an amp yet, just tried them unplugged.

EADGB strings are not bad, a bit bright but I like it well enough.

The treble e string is horrible though, way too bright and metallic, strumming sounds horrible (and this is compared to the old strings I've had for years). The e string is very prominent and loud, very ear piercing.

A nylon pick mitigates this somehow but I still don't like it and would never buy them again.

I hope the Optiweb version is better.

EDIT: the strings mellowed a bit and I got used to them so I edited my rating.

I would probably not buy them again though, and will go for pure nickel strings next time

Live long, sound good and squeak less

Haven't had a string break while playing ever with these (happened more than once with other brands, once on a three week old set during a live performance).

The tone is subject to taste but it is definetly my favorite.

The coating massively reduces fret shift squeaking.

If not for the current shortage I would never buy other brands again.

Long lasting strings

I have used these strings for a while and they feel good and lasts a very long time.

My go to for years

Elixirs stay feeling fine for months. The sound may change but the feeling doesn't really. If you're not actively gigging or can't afford to buy new Ernie Ball strings every week, these are incredible by comparison.

Very well

Long life, good price, nice sound.
