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". In addition, Polyweb coated strings feel comfortably smooth and help reduce finger squeaks.

I received a free sample of these strings in 1997. I didn't believe the hype, so I was reluctant to put them on. I was playing my acoustic one day and I broke the high E string, so I decided to try out the pack of Elixirs. As I was tuning up, I noticed they sounded bright and clear, without a lot of string noise. All new strings sound good when you first change them, but my guitar never had sounded that great to me. Even the low strings seemed to have a more presence without buzzing. They also lasted a lot longer than other brands I'd used. A thin plastic coating helps prevent them from corroding from finger oil. Everything that's printed on the package is true.

These are great strings. I got the extra light to try to make a guitar that is very hard to play a little easier to play. It definitely has helped. The sound is fine, though I now wish I would have gotten the nanoweb for the brighter sound. I generally prefer a mellower sound but this particular guitar has a bit of a dull sound and I chose the wrong type strings. If you want a bright sound, go with the Elixir nanoweb instead of the polyweb. Either way, Elixir makes great strings that last and make your playing so much more easy and enjoyable. They are worth every penny.
