Product Description

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings - they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it's there.

I've been playing fingerstyle acoustic blues/folk for about seven years now, I play for several hours a day, and these are my favorite strings. Their sound is mellower but still bright- meaning they don't have that tin sound common to fresh strings, and they hold up longer. They don't break often (and I really snap my strings). Also, because of the coating your fingertips don't stick to the strings- it's so much nicer that I consistently notice when I pick up someone else's guitar that other types of strings grab at your fingers- not preferable. They are not much more expensive than other brands if you buy them online. I use the nanoweb custom lights (want to be somewhat gentle with my old guitar). On the down side, you may get spoiled with them....

THE BEST - there's a good reason Elixirs are held as top strings - doesn't matter if it's polyweb, nanoweb, whatever - the sound, the fee - every weight I tried from Elixir held up to its name, bought Elixir for years, and will loyally keep buying them.

I have been playing with these strings every day for a month and they still sound like the day I put them on. They are definitely worth the extra money.
