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 tried other extended life phosphor bronze strings (including D'Addario) before these but found that they went flat and lost their tone far too quickly -- definitely not extra life as far as I was concerned. I have been very pleased with the tone and life of these.

3.0 out of 5 stars surprised I didn't like these strings, December 15, 2006

I absolutely love Elixir Nanoweb strings, and before I started buying Elixir strings I frequently bought phosphor bronze strings of various brands. I was really excited when I found these. Unfortunately, I've been really disappointed with the tone, which I wouldn't describe as "sweet" at all as mentioned in the product description. Closer to "dull," and difficult to hear in jam sessions, at least without amplification.

Like their other nanoweb strings, they appear that they could last a long time without their sound changing much, which is the main reason I'm giving them 3 stars instead of 2. I have gone back to using Elixir's non-phosphor-bronze nanoweb strings, and will continue to be a loyal fan.
