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.

everything one wants in strings- crisp sound, tone gets warmer after two months, after these strings are on you really only need to change strings once to twice a year- a huge savings

good strings, long life...what else can I say. They shipped fast enough. Just remember Purple packs are for acoustics and blue packs are for electrics.

I must say I have played for a while now and nothing comes close to elixirs they are my favorite string on the market. They hold their tone so long its ridiculous. I purchased a guitar used with them on it and the guy said he had put them on it four months prior. well I went home and jammed out it sounded like a day one string. Elixirs for life.

tried these a few years ago, havent really used anything else...in fact i refuse. i went from earnie ball to these, and theres no comparison. slick, smooth, keep that new string tone for months...ive owned my schecter for about 10 months and changed the strings twice...TWICE....though the first time i did stretch it out and they didnt have the new string sound after a while but it came through. recommend these to any player looking for eaze of play, just find ur size and you should be good.

I've played guitar for over 30 years. I've tried lots of brands of strings, including the specially coated EXP's from D'Addario. I've never found any of them that really hold their brightness and sparkle any longer than regular strings, EXCEPT THESE.

I've used these on my Taylor acoustic guitar. They really hold their brightness after lots of playing. A set can last for a couple of months, playing every day, and still be pretty good, whereas a standard set of strings starts sounding dull in just a week or two. Using them on guitars for live gigging, they are a dream. They can take the sweaty punishment and still sound good and that will save you a lot of time and money.

As far as playability just as regular strings, they are excellent. Smooth, uniform, stay in tune very very well.

I know people will say they're too expensive but it's worth the price considering the feel and tone of these strings. I always wipe my guitar down after playing so the strings will last a little longer...

Strings work like good strings should. I've been a fan of these for years, both when I played classical and then when I switched to acoustic steel string guitars. They usually take a little longer to break in but they keep a brighter tone for much longer than Ernie Balls, Markeleys, and other strings I've used.
