 "Very bright sound" 2007-08-08
By L. Bleicher (Brazil)
I have bought these strings because I've been told they offer a very good sound for a long time. I cannot yet judge it for the time issue, since I installed them for about one month, but I can say they have a really bright sound.

 "This is it, I'm buying these strings and nothing else from now on!" 2009-08-24
By Evan Anderson
I never thought I would be so enthusiastic about guitar strings to actually write a review on them. But these strings are absolutely outstanding. In the past I've been using Ernie Ball, Boomer and a few random other guitar strings... mainly Ernie Balls though. I was sick and tired of stringing up my guitar and not even getting a weeks worth of play out of them before they started oxidizing. Sometimes i had the highest three strings oxidizing after one lengthy jam session. I'd find myself saying, "Yes I played fairly intensely for several hours... but really???? I just put these strings on here! I don't sweat that much, lol." After no more than a month with those strings, i would have to replace them because they were already way too rusty and mucky to play comfortably.



Then just two months ago I gave Elixir strings a go.... I am still using those same strings and there isn't a bit of rust anywhere on any of the strings. And they sound great!! I have to say that again, They sound GREAT after two months of playing every day at least 2-3 hours a day! Just last night I was playing through a bunch of Tool songs with the album tracks playing on my computer... the tone was so spot on, at times my guitar blended perfectly with the audio track. It just solidified my belief that these strings are amazing. I'm in love. I really am. And they stay in tune really well. I often found with other strings I would always have to re-tune every time i picked up my guitar, sometimes even a few times during play. With these strings I find myself tuning considerably less frequently. I still have to adjust a couple strings every now and then... but that's completely natural.



The only negative I would bring up is that they are almost a little.... too bright when you first put them on. Even that almost feels like an unfair thing to say as a negative. The tone is still awesome, but i felt like after heavy use, the tone kind of meandered closer to what I like.



These strings feel great too. Really fast and smooth. I found myself wanting to play more things that had slides in the riffs just to i could feel the strings more.



Basically, long story short...



Great Tone

Great Feel

Long Life (Seriously... no joke)

They even look cool... always nice and clean =)



Buy them, see for yourself. I know I'm going to get another set to put on my other guitar very soon.

 "Best Strings EVER!" 2008-05-03
By Matthew Brown (Marshall, MI)
These are the best strings ever. I've tried almost every string on the market, and these are by far my favorite. They sound great and last forever. Believe the hype...they really DO last FAR longer than any other strings, and they sound great while doing it.



Many other strings will sound great for a short while, but as soon as they get "gunked up", they lose any brilliance and tone, and become dead sounding. Not these. They will sound great for the life of the string. In fact, the only way I know to change them eventually is not because they stop sounding good (which they don't), but because I'll start having intonation problems and I know the strings need to be changed. Normal wear and tear does that, but these strings last SO long.



I've tried the polyweb strings from Elixir as well, but I didn't like those at all. To me, they didn't FEEL right. Sticky or something (not like your fingers stick to the strings, but like you could tell they were coated). With the Nanowebs, they sound AND feel like regular strings, but last forever. The only string I'll use.

 "Best strings for acoustic guitars" 2010-04-07
By Christopher Orlando (North Centereach, NY United States)
I have been playing guitar for over 45 years, and these strings are the best sounding I've ever put on an acoustic guitar. You can put these on the cheapest guitar and it will sound like a much more expensive one. Unless you have a certain application for your acoustic that you need a specific sound for, these are the strings for you.

Point in case, I am in a Beatles' Tribute band and have the Epiphone EJ 160 John Lennon acoustic. I need it to have the specific sound John Lennon gets on I Feel Fine, and have to use flatwounds. With this one exception, I put Elixir strings on all acoustic guitars, and recommend them to everyone.

By AC (Ft Laud, FL USA)
The best there is if you don't change your strings as often as you should. Great sound out of the box and they maintain their level longer than cheaper strings. I think new strings of almost any brand sound great initially, but unless you are a gigging musician, which I am not, why change them once a week? Great strings even though they are pricey.

 "Great for sweaty-handed players like me!" 2008-07-28
By Nessander
I tried these not knowing what to expect, and have been very pleasantly surprised. I tend to have sweaty hands, and my guitar strings get a lot of crud on them and then eventually rust. Although I have learned now to wipe them down each time I play, they still deteriorate pretty quickly, and it's a pain. When I wipe them down with a cloth, they leave black streaks of crud on the cloth.



The Elixirs are not as bright as other strings when you first put them on -- that is true. However, other strings lose their brightness after just a few hours of playing, so I don't see this as a major disadvantage. The advantage is that these strings get very little crud on them. When I wipe them down, there's nothing on the cloth! I've even stopped wiping my strings down as carefully.



So for a player like me, these are a godsend. I don't detect any loss of tone. They are a bit slippery, and some people have reported having trouble because of this, but it's fine for me.



Definitely they're worth a try. Although they're twice as expensive as regular strings, they'll last longer, so they're worth checking out! Ernie Ball makes titanium coated strings that I'm interested in trying out, and there are some other brands, too.

 "Worth the extra few bucks" 2007-07-10
By A. Bromage (Kirkland, WA United States)
I remember getting to try these out before they came on the market. At the time they were called 'Gore-Tex' or something like that. I wrote them back saying the coating was too thick. (I'm sure I wasn't the only one who said that).



Well now it's ten years later and they have a very successful product on their hands. Make sure you get the NANOWEB version, unless you're a jazz player. The 'polyweb' coating is just too thick for my tastes. It really mellows the tone of the strings a lot. The coating on the nanowebs is just right.



I used to play D'Addarios. After you play on these for an hour or two, they sound like a 2 day old set of D'Addarios. This is perfect, especially because they sound like that for WEEKS!



I gig quite a bit, and these will go for about a month before the tone goes dead enough to be objectionable. I usually change them out before then, just to prevent string breakage. With that said, these strings are not any more prone to breakage than other brands.



I also like the fact that the newer version (been out for a year or two now) has anti-rust coating on the E, B, and G strings as well. This makes a big difference to someone like me, who has sweaty hands. The anti-rust really does work.



Downsides? Well, price is one.

The other would be the fact that if you're addicted the zing factor you get with brand new strings, you may be dissapointed. Out of the box, these are deader sounding than a new set of GHS, Ernie Balls, D'Addarios, etc. But if you compare them a week later, the Elixirs will still be sounding as good as the day you put them on.

I just got these new strings for my guitar and i was excited because i herd these strings were very good, but i was wrong. When i first put em in each string broke.....BROKE, in HALF before it even got to the standard turning.

 "Excellent Guitar Strings" 2009-10-21
By James Pickrell
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.

 "They sent the wrong size" 2009-09-16
By D. Fisher
I ordered strings with .009 being the least string diameter. They sent strings with .011 smallest diameter. It was not what I orderd. I have electric, acoustic, and bass guitars and would have been happy to order online as the prices were good. However, I will not order online again. Sending packages back is a hassle.

 "Love these things" 2008-12-02
By Midgen21 (Bothell, WA USA)
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...

 "Love them" 2010-02-14
By N. S. ALSINAN
Used a lot of strings (GHS, Fenders, Yamaha, D'Addario, Slinkys), by far the Elixir NanoWeb sounds best among them. They surly last a lot longer.



ALL STRINGS SOUND GREAT AT FIRST, they just have to. However, the Elixers do sound better in my opinion. They have a nicer cool mellow tone.

 "Worst sound I've had in 40+ years" 2009-10-23
By Jesse Donahue (SW Colorado)
I put these strings on my Gretch solid body, 70's vintage. I love the full and varied sound I can get with this guitar, can play anything with it. I don't play as much as I used to so I thought I would try the nanoweb coating on some super lights. Hated the sound. Not very full, and this guitar has very rich sound. Almost tinny.



I have never had a set of strings that were worse than these in over 40 years of playing.
