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.

This review is from: Elixir Strings Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Strings NANOWEB Coating, 6-String, Light (Electronics)

I have literally tried almost every string brand there is, including independent companies. Elixir are by far the best brand.

I first tried Elixir on a brand new Taylor Grand Cutaway (Taylor puts Elixir's ultra-thin NANOWEB stock on all their guitars since 1999). I was instantly in love, not realizing a huge part of it was the strings. I later tried the same guitar, without the stock strings, and I realized what a difference those strings made to the playability and sound.

I don't normally write reviews, but there is no way I can let someone put a 1 on these strings. People need to learn their ratings, because putting a 1 on Elixir just says "I am a moron who know nothing about guitars/strings." They may not be your style, though I can't imagine why. But a 1, they should never receive.

This review is from: Elixir Strings Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Strings NANOWEB Coating, 6-String, Light (Electronics)

Having read the reviews about the new phosphor bronze Elixir strings, I was skeptical on the improvement that could be heard on my beloved Taylor 814CE over the standard Elixir strings (light gauge Polywebs) that had been recommended for this guitar. After buying and installing the first set, I was pleasantly surprised at the sound that I got from the new strings and, 2 months later, I hear no deterioration of that sound quality at all. I love the quality of sound that I get from these new phosphor bronze strings! A bit more "attitude" than the previous Elixirs that I tried but still providing the warmth and fullness that I was used to on my guitar. You must try a set on your guitar!

Elixir strings are the best strings out there. They are smooth and comfortable, they last much longer than other strings, and they sound richer for a longer amount of time. I refuse to put anything less than elixirs on my guitar.
