Elixir Polyweb 12025 Custom Light

Well-known durability and sound

This is the best VFM deal on strings, as you need to be sure they never break/rust on you easily.

Very slippery coating

I did not become a fan of these strings. Quality is good enough, but these are very, very slippery. This means that they really don't feel like light strings mostly because it's easy to intuitively press down very hard on these to compensate the lack of friction towards the fingers. You have to constantly remind yourself to play with a lighter touch but it doesn't just happen naturally.

Affordable considering their durability.

Expected reliable quality from elixir, durable thick coated strings that darken your tone a little.

Might feel slippery for people used to the nano/optiweb series.

It's not my first purchase of these strings. Custom light are good if you want a "looser" feeling when you're playing while still keeping a solid top few strings.

They last a long time from my previous experiences although you may not like the sound and feeling. They feel slicker and never sound "brand new", but they keep that week old sound for years.

The best strings I used so far, last longer than any strings

Good protection against corrosion, the coating doesn’t flake off and last a long time.

On the other hand they don’t sound very good, like there ‘s a plastic coat over the metal.

But what I don’t like at all is that they are so slinky they offer no grip at all, if you sweat the strings will slip under your fingers.

I just can’t play them because of that.

They offer a great protection, but their sound really suffers.

Cleartone treated strings are far superior in sound and feel.

Great strings

It's Elixir. All has been said about their quality and durability.
