Great Strings, I use Elixir strings for both my 6 and 12 string Martin's.Its a little high in price but the sound generated by them is excellent and they last a lot longer then others.Great buy here at Amazon.....

They sound amazing, kill the finger noise, and don't tear up your hands. Some people don't like the gortex coated strings, so if it's not your cup of tea it's personal preference. But I love them. They're pricey but totally worth it.

Elixir is THE BEST string their is. Fine tune hold, Not much stretching. I have used these strings for several years...their the BEST, no doubt at all! I play a 12 string Ovation. I change every 2 or 3 months. I play in church, and in my backyard alot...Trust me on this one. You can't go wrong.

WOW, is putting it mildly when you here the quality sound that these strings produce on a 12 string.Endless beauty when you here the tones produced by Elixer. Elixer strings are more expensive than other strings but well worth the higher price tag. You can not go go with a set or two of Elixers.

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years, and specifically, I've been playing 12 string for at least 20 of them. I've bought plenty of strings in that time, and I normally go with nickel wound lights or brights....Ernie Ball, D'addario, Fender, you name a brand I've tried them.

I had heard of the polymerized strings years ago, and thought to myself, "t-ts on a bull," because I thought they couldn't improve quality. I was wrong. I was COMPLETELY wrong. I've had these on my Washburn 12 string acoustic-electric for about a month, and they sound as good as the day they went on. They stay in tune very well, and they SOUND fantastic (which, ultimately is the most important trait).

Consider me converted.

Bought these strings for my Epiphone 12 string guitar I have had for 30Years and still going strong. These strings gave the guitar a new crisp sound again.
I also bought (3) 6 String sets for my other guitars around the house and having fun teaching my 11 year old daughter and 6 year old son to play them.

I got these for my dad for christmas. He loves them. He's been a musician for about 50 years and says that these are the best strings you can get. If he's happy with them, I'm happy with them.

I have tried many types of steel strings. My Taylor 355 came delivered with these - and though I have tried several others, I have returned to them. Their ease of play (smoothness to fret and finger) and light but rich tonality makes them a good choice for your 12-string. Haven't tried 'em yet? Pick up a set - they ARE different and, in many ways, better than the more standard Phosphor Bronze strings that were the best before these came along.

The high G string broke after about 30 days. This happened during tuning. Too late to return so I`ll probably try another brand

I asked my wife to order this set for my birthday as I can get a set of Martins installed for about the same price as the Elixirs in the package. I was curious to see how long they would hold a fresh intonation for their premium price.

After installation & tuning, I immediately noticed the strings lacked the extended "ring" of a fresh set Martins, actually sounding like they had been casually played for a couple of weeks or so. That's O.K. for rehearsal, but a bit too dull for performance. So far they sound the same after a month of playing- perhaps that's the advantage, but I suspect the advertised special process dulls the sound one would expect from a fresh set of Martins.
