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.

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!

Best Acoustic guitar strings i ever played. last very long holds tone even if you been using the strings for 2 to 3 months. The anti rust strings keep the strings looking new for 2 months or more. I buy many sets when they go on sale.

I don't have a ton of experience...but i love these strings. My brother plays a ton and highly recommended elixer brand.

I've tried a lot of strings, and none of them sound and feel better than these Medium Polywebs.

I much prefer these over the Nanoweb. The Nanowebs made my Taylor sound too bright for my style of playing, I guess.

These are always the ones I choose for my steel string acoustic guitar.

Elixer strings are the best. I first played on them 10 years ago. I knew I would never use another brand. The polyweb coating really makes these strings stand out and sound bright. Unfortunately, retail stores really mark up the price on them. I've seen them listed for up to $23! I used to get them for about $10 from a friend who worked at Guitar Center. But now, I just go online. Great price at Amazon. Great strings.

For my taste these are way to hard. If your a Pro with finger tips made of steel these may be very good for you cuz they do produce a very nice sound. But if your a newbie like me or only pick up a guitar every now and then these are very difficult to play with.

I wish I knew what were the strings that came originally came with my guitar cuz those were much easier to play with.

These strings definitely sound great but have the worst reliability of any string I have used. I used to use Alchemy strings and had one set on for 3 years without one break. With these I have had 2 strings break in the last 6 months. If you are going to buy these i would advise buying two sets.
