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". In addition, Polyweb coated strings feel comfortably smooth and help reduce finger squeaks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a try - decide for yourself, January 7, 2007

These strings sound good, feel very smooth and have less friction as you move over the fretboard. Some people I know swear by them. Definitely worth checking out.

This review is from: Elixir Strings Banjo Strings, 5 String, Light POLYWEB Coating (Electronics)
Elixirs are more expensive than other banjo strings. If their claims of lasting 3-5 times longer than others are true these things are really a steal.

But you don't buy strings because they last a long time. You buy them for tone. On my 10-year old Deering Goodtime, they make a rich, full tone (think gold instead of silver), they fret with a lot less scratching, and they hold their tuning better than other strings I've tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best strings available, October 14, 2010

This review is from: Elixir Strings Banjo Strings, 5 String, Light POLYWEB Coating (Electronics)
When a friend first suggested Elixir strings for my guitar several years ago, I balked. They cost two or three times what I was used to paying, but he talked me into it. I've never looked back. They sound better, last longer, are more playable and resist rust far better than any other strings I've used, and I used to go through a set or two a month in my club playing days. I wish these had existed then, because I would have probably saved money in the long run. When I decided to pick up my five-string again after years of neglect, I went directly to Elixir, and I love these strings. I'm thinking of treating my mandolin to a set next. They're well worth the price. RW The Tao Of Writing: Imagine. Create. Flow.
