Elixir Nanoweb Medium Reviews

Best strings I've used

Best brand of strings I used so far. They sound GREAT! My hands are sweaty, and nanoweb coating protects strings for a long time. The only place coating wears off is where I pick strings, and that's ok. Used these for drop G tuning (7-string) paired with single .68 (elixir as well), and it works great. I highly recommend these strings.

Amazing durability and sound

Normally these are my string of choice, except in light. While they are initially expensive, their durability drastically increases the time in between string changes, making them more than worth their value. They sound great as well compared to the other string companies, and aren't hindered by their coating.

Elixir or not, that's the question?

My final say in this matter is that I like using Elixir strings on guitars that I don't play too often. Elixir strings seems not to age in time, but by wear. If you don't play the guitar in a year it will sound exactly as good is it did last time you touched it. This is not the case with regular strings.

However, I do not like using Elixir strings on guitars that I play very often. Up on those hot and sweatty stages the abuse on the strings are excessive, and after a gig like that, Elixir strings will sound just as dull as regular strings. Also, they will break just as easy.

Four stars on sound. Sometimes I imagine that a brand new Elixir string doesn't sound as good as a brand new regular string. Although the new string sound will last longer.

Five stars on quality due to the fact that I can have guitars that I don't play too often sound good for a very long time!

Great sound

Good crisp sound from these strings, coating does protect against rust, however will still become worn from pick strumming

Impressive

My first set of Elixirs. I use them for my Yamaha dreadnought. The sound, resonance and playability of these strings is impressive. Worth the extra money.

Excellent!

Excellent strings that last for months and months. Well, at least for me they do. They are more expensive than the regular ones but the price difference pays off in the long run because you don't have to buy new strings every other week. Just keep in mind that they are protected from rust and dirt by a very fine layer of coating that can be easily damaged by doing pick scrapes or cleaning the strings with certain chemicals. As long as that coating is undamaged, the strings should sound and feel like new. I also like the fact that they produce significantly less finger noise.

Great strings

They last for ages, play great, never had a bad set
