Sound incredible with crisp, bright tone and great sustain

It is true that new Elixirs are very bright in tone, while the D'Darrios have a nice warm tone at the start, but in my view, after about two weeks the Elixirs are broken in and keep a warm tone with great sustain for months after.

They have a great crisp, clean sound when I fingerpick and have nice sustain.

When I first put these strings on the sounded great, good tone and sustain, but after 2 weeks were totally dead.

They have better sustain throughout that lifetime.3

Mostly, just love the sound, not quite as crisp as the Lights but really carry the tone so well and great sustain

I also picked up a set for my baritone guitar, and just for comparison mixed 2 of the bronze D'darrios with the elixirs...within a week the d'darrios were "fumped" and dead, while the Elixirs remained bright with great sustain

They were not as bright sounding or crisp as I'm used to with a new set of strings.

The coating on these strings is not as slick as on Elixir strings, but it's noticeably there in comparison with the standard D'Addarios.

If you have a too bright, 'brassy' sounding acoustic, try these out
