Elixir 16077 Light Medium Nanoweb 5-stars Reviews

Light and reliable

Nice weight and excellent sound for all round playing

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.

Best tone out there for western acoustic

I use these on my Gibson super jumbo for whever I use it, recording, performing etc.

The only complaint is that hey might be too heavy for some, especially if you are beginner and your finger hurt quick, thats why I like this as the best of combining a standart 12 and 13 set.

The sound is Powerfull: Bright with enoug bass and attack. The feel of the strings is great and these guys last. I like them best tuned in Eb :)

My favourites!

These are pretty much my favourite strings ever. Why? Because of the tone and because of the smoothness of the strings. The coating means I can move faster up and down the neck when playing barre chords (which I do a lot).

I play a lot so have to change strings quite often. It is a bit of a bummer when one snaps because I often end up changing the whole lot and that can get expensive. But on the whole, great tone, great feel, usually last loads longer than normal strings.

The Perfect Strings

These strings are perfect and there's honestly not much more I can say about them. The tone is beautiful, they feel really nice under my fingers and they last for ages. I haven't had to change strings on my acoustic for at least three months and they still sound amazing! If you're like me and spent years trying to find the perfect set of strings, look no further! Can't recommend Elixir enough!

Nice strings!

They are expensive, yes, but they sound great and they last forever!

I love them!

The last really long...

...compared to ay other strings I've used. I'm not gentle with my strings at all and I change Elixir strings after 8-10 gigs. I don't clean them at all, I just wait for the 1st string to break and than change all. It was now the first time my G string broke at the end of 2nd gig, never happened before in such a short time.

They do sound a bit metal, but their sound lasts until they break. Usually, If I use cheaper strings they loose their rich sound in the middle of the gig. So, until I find something cheaper for the same quality, Elixir remains my strings.

More bass response

Purchased these to boost the low end response on an OM guitar. They seem to enhance it a little. Sound quality is a personal thing and I know some feel Elixir's lack the zing of standard strings but I would rather have the longevity and reduced string squeak.

I like them...

So I decided to listen to my annoying guitarist friends who blithered on and on about Elixir strings. The current set I have on the guitar are there about 2.5 weeks and are still going strong. Still have a great tone and feel nice and clean. These are a mix of lights and mediums so you get the best of both worlds. I like them...

Well worth it!

Lets face it, normal strings are usually losing their sound after a couple of gigs. The brightness seems to disappear.

Not with these it wont. Ok they are 3 times the cost of your normal strings of choice but they will last infinitely longer than those. Saving you not only money in the long run but also time changing sets of strings.

I dont use anything other than these now.

Try them, think you will be impressed.

Elixir 16077 Light Medium Nanoweb

I have been using Elixir strings for the past few years. They are great, long-lasting strings. They are slightly more expensive than the competitors but I think that they are worth it as they sound great for any style that I've been playing and they last much longer than other strings I've used.

Wouldn't use any other string!

Don't think i've ever broken one of these bad boys and to be fair...i hit them hard after about 9 pints of the black shtuff with a crowd going mental for "Celtic Symphony"! I don't know how but after about 10 gigs, 20 rehearsals with sweaty, (grubby after setting up the gear) fingers, keeping in mind they never get a wipe or polish, the still manage to sound clear, bright and like new/newish strings! Now they will deadin a bit but nothing to the martin strings which will sound like double bass strings after a week of playing how much is that doggy in the window to your 3 year old!

Top Notch strings and worth the money

For me, an uncoated set of strings is dead and worn out after 2 weeks, these strings last 3-5 times as long and only cost about twice as much. You do the math.

The sound is great (especially after a bit of playing in) and are great for pretty much any style I've played on them (from buckwild bluegrass fiddle tunes to rock and roll to roots reggae).

Ok, you might find some better sounding strings (might!) but the lifespan won't even compare. So for anyone without an unlimited supply of cash and a tech to change their strings every 4 days, obviously a great choice!
