It's not the guitar that makes the sound, it's the string. The string is what is vibrating and the instruments just resonates. So what I am saying is that it is worth buying good strings. Elixir Nanoweb strings are supposed to last longer due to a waterproof coating. But the main this is that the sound quality is excellent. Any guitar pro will tell you, these are great strings.

I love Elixir strings. They sound great, stay in tune, and last forever.

I have very most/oily skin, and can go through a set of non-coated strings in a week with heavy playing, even with wiping down the strings after each session.

With the coated elixirs, my string life is extended significantly, not to mention the tuning stability, and terrific sound.

Love em...

These are well built strings. I own 3 high end PRS guitars and these are the best i have used. The bright sound lasts. I hardly ever broke these strings and i use 2mm sharp jazz picks and play jazz to progressive metal. I had one bad set and contacted elixir corp. And got a response within mins. They sent me 2 free packs and a set of single high e strings. The customer service is awesome. I have been using elixrs for 5 years. To the reviewer who had all strings break while tuning probably had a bad bridge. A bad bridge on your guitar will cause premature string breakage because the sharp edges will weaken the string. If you do not string the guitar properly it will break. If anyone here gets a bad set, email elixir corp. Their customer service is great. They really care about customer loyalty and satisfaction. They stand behind their products. Martin, ernie ball, dea markley and many string brands i have tried never replied to me when it comes to defective sets. Elixir really is the best. The higher price is worth it cause these strings really last 3 times longer even with consistent gigging and long nights.
