Reviews around gauge (5.00 of 5)

  • The super light gauge doesn't blister my fingers and are a joy to play on
  • I’m using Nickel mediums because I like the tone of a thicker gauge string, I would also strongly recommend the medium/light gauge.

Reviews around string noise (1.80 of 5)

  • Another plus for me, particularly in the studio, is string noise is minimal from finger movement due to the coating
  • You can slide along the strings easier, and they make less string noise which is great for recording
  • well I like the pics .. but who is doing the choice of the pictures
  • There is less string noise with the Elixirs, and they last much longer than non-coated strings after several months of daily playing
