5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Strings, April 4, 2006

the polyweb coating makes them last much longer than normal strings, and allows them to sound much better throughout their lifetime by preventing oil from your fingers from building up on them. the coating also allows for easier slide playing.

great concept, well worth the extra few bucks they cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice set of premium strings, August 13, 2008

This review is from: Elixir Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings, 6 String, Medium POLYWEB Coating (Electronics)

These stings are very good. Personally I prefer the d'ddario phosphor bronze, but the polywebs last 3 times as long.

Another upside to the polywebs is that they eliminate string noise, and "string grab" on your fingers when sliding up by fiths, octaves, or when just changing chords quickly. The fingers kind of glide over the stings.

Downside is that the coating does noticeably effect the richness of the tone when the strings start to age, and will never sound exactly like a top quality un-coated new phosphor bronze set.

Then again my ears are very very particular to tone quality and timbre, and some say they don't notice any difference.

I have been using these strings for years and years and they seem to last a very long time and hold a great tone! They are worth the extra money and the coating makes playing much easier on your fingers where they can slide easier up and down the fret with much less noise from finger slide. Great product!
