Elixir 16077 Light Medium Nanoweb

Light and reliable

Nice weight and excellent sound for all round playing

I ordered these strings to get a more pronounced low end to the sound of my acoustic guitar. It was an experiment and while the strings are great, I think they were not the best choice for me, I prefer the light string set. Quality is fine though!

Great quality strings

If you don't mind coated strings, these are the ones to go to.

Best ones

I use on all guitars. Tried all kinds, these suit me most because they last long. Maybe if I'm going to a studio and if I'm using an expensive guitar I would get a better set of string for that one day of studio. Because these are coated and already have a layer on them so they are dampened just a bit so they can stay fresh longer. But I rarely go to studio with an expensive guitar so I need it to last long.

My favourite string

Great strings,if not a little expensive

Great strings

Last long, hold their sound, good value.

2 successful years on an acoustic

Well, yes, I got these to my dad's Takamine and they're still good, bright and in tune. Great solution if you have more guitars and want to keep them alive!

gotta love the elixir...

These strings rock, not perfect for gigs in my opinion... but perfect for the home, and ideal for scenarios ( like damp winters, or sweaty hands )

Elixirs are on my acoustics 99% of the year, and the cost is worth it because they hold-on longer before losing brightness, compared with every other brand I've tried....

If you're unsure about what acoustic strings to buy:

- buy these

- buy a string-winder ( item no.: 122787 )

You will be able to change your strings slightly slower than with normal strings, at a marginally higher cost. You will only lose out tonally, if you wait too long to change strings ( 2-8 weeks depending upon usage, and cleaning, storage )

The best

After testing a lot of strings, this combination with thicker low end strings work the best for my percussion style acoustic playing.

You can't go wrong with these strings: the money you pay now will be compensated greatly by the satisfaction in your fingers, your ears and the fact that you won't have to change strings so often.
