Quality Strings!

I play a lot of live shows and have used Elixir Nanoweb strings for around 2 and a half years. These strings are marginally more expensive than the Martin ones I used previously but they last about 3 times as long.

The only negative I can give really is that the brightness you usually get with a brand new set of strings isn't quite the same with these, almost like the Nanoweb coating is deadening that tone slightly. Don't get me wrong, these strings sound GREAT! Obviously the brightness I'm referring to only lasts a day at the most on a non-coated set of strings before they start to deteriorate. I can get 4 or 5 gigs out of a set of these if I need to whereas I used to change after 2 gigs.

Totally recommended by me!

Elixir quality you expect

yeah they cost more than most strings but the sound is great and they last me from about 6 weeks to a few months assuming I don't break them.... which happens often enough sadly.

Due to the price and the fact that they break as often as any other string I don't use them on my acoustic as often as the electric.

If however I have a gig I want to sound particularly good for or if I'm going into a studio I'll put some fresh strings on, when I do so, these are what I go for.

perfect for a taylor

These are the strings that come on a taylor guitar. Though for years Ive always prefered Martin phosphor bronze. However... I went through a bunch of different strings, and none sound right on a taylor guitar apart from these, in my opinion.

Its true that they do last a lot longer than non coated strings. The seem to keep their brightness for a lot longer. You can actually see it in the colour of the strings, they look bright and clean and dont seem to get dirty looking.

Though strings are subjective, I used these a few years ago on a different guitar, and they were just not nice. I think with strings, you just have to experiment.

The Best

The Best your Acoustic can get!! these strings really compliment my guitar sound effectively. I use the on my Taylor 814 and my Gibson j-200 the result is simply breath taking. I suggest these strings to everybody who appreciate real tone.

The "Elixir Nanoweb Light Phosphor Bronze" Strings are awesome.

I tried many many different strings and most of them loose their brilliance (especially the wounded strings) after a few hours of playing.

The Elixir's are different. They keep their brilliance for months. They sound great and they are really worth the money.

I use this set on my lakewood m32 and it sounds very very good and well balanced. Even some drop/ open tunings (drop D, DADGAD or the "andy mckee" (i just got this tuning from one of his songs) - E-H-D#-F#-D# -Tuning) are no problem.

I always use Elixir-Strings an i am very happy with them.

Best strings for full time players!

These strings have been the only strings I use for 4 years now! Even though they are the most expensive on the market, they are value for money. They last more than twice as long as other brands, meaning having to buy strings less often! Highly recommended product!

Perfect

Hello at all,

I'm a big fan of elixir strings as they stays way longer than other manufacturers strings and also have great tone. The sound of the strings is very bright and metallic, which I personally prefer. The actual coating. It is a very thin coating that feels like a mixture of rubber and plastic (not in a bad way though). The material is very fast and not sticky at all. You easily get used to the coated feeling of the strings, so that's no problem. While keeping the bright sound you can feel the coating wearing out after 3-4 weeks. Especially right above the frets the coating was totally worn out, which lead to more friction and resistance between the frets and the strings. They are worth the money because they outlast standard strings whilst keeping a crisp tone. The sound quality and tuning throughout the length of string is spot-on. Try them once and you'll be hooked! If you are looking for quality, tenacity and preciseness in your guitar string aim for the best and the best are Elixir strings. More durable and worth, that?s what you really want: To reach the right notes in your guitar.

Try them

Elixir Nanoweb Light Phosphor Bronze

These stings (Like all Elixir strings) are amazing! These stings are the best I have ever used. They give the guitar a beautiful and bright tone. These strings also feel quite good against the hand while playing. These strings are the longest lasting stings I have used! I have had them on for at least a month now, playing a few times a day and they still sound as well as they do when i put them on.

My favorite strings ...

I play these strings on my Taylor GS Mini and they sound great. They have a bright tone, are easy too play and last very long, what justifies the price. I never had any quality problems with Elixir strings, on acoustic or electric guitar.

Perfect with the Tanglewood Sundance Pro TW45

These do the job - they are what came with the Tanglewood Sundance Pro TW45 super folk 6 string, and they sound great. No reason to change them for anything else.
