Reviews around price (4.40 of 5)

  • I love elixir strings period and now they came for a cheap price and also quickly too
  • My best friend, Brian Price ([...]) referred me to these strings.
  • I wish they were slightly cheaper, but compared to other strings, the price isn't bad, and they easily last twice as long, so you're still saving a lot of money in the long run.
  • Low e string kinda dull, overall, not quite as crisp as bronze 80/20
  • These are really great strings for a competitive price.

Reviews around coat (4.16 of 5)

  • It's probably the the nanoweb coating causing the issue.
  • The coating reduces string squeak and keeps the sound fresh for weeks (or months, depending how much or little I play).
  • they wont rust, and the coating makes it easier on your fingers
  • These strings sound bright and the coating keeps them fresh for much longer than uncoated strings
  • The coating also moderates string squeak when moving up and down the fretboard.

Reviews around strings (3.95 of 5)

  • Strings are very easy to use, pleasant on the fingers, and very nice action
  • Strings are extremely easy on the fingers and are easy to tune.
  • Compared to the light Elixir strings, the g and b strings are really hard to press down with on barre chords past the sixth fret and often times get muted on these HD Light Elixir strings
  • Great Strings, last forever unless you play a lot every day
  • These strings have powerfull bass and great highs, very balanced, great sounding strings!Much better than the 10 year old strings I bought from "Miss Zixa" on amazon.

Reviews around feel (3.92 of 5)

  • Always have loved the feel and sound of these smooth strings
  • I just hate the feeling of these strings under my fingers- feel like they have Finger Ease on them and are too slick
  • but it wasn't that I disliked the feeling but most other strings I had used were more rough on the fingers
  • I don't like the feel of the bigger bottom three strings the way they feel on my fingers, they just feel big and stiff to me
  • I always use these strings, they have a good sound and a good feel.

Reviews around play (3.72 of 5)

  • I've been playing guitar for over 16 years now and these are some of the best strings I have ever played
  • The guitar, while stiffer playing, sounds like a much more expensive guitar
  • Great strings easy playing, nice feeling, great feel Awesome sound on my Martin!!
  • Overall great strings, but not the best strings for my style of play; they, just a tad, limits my desired playing access, but maybe I just need stronger hands lol
  • These are good strings I've played with a bunch over the past 15years on the same guitar these seem to last longer keep their great sound an tone great strings to play on you would be disappointed in cheaper

Reviews around elixir (3.27 of 5)

  • Elixir's are a little more expensive than other non-coated strings.
  • To my ears, the Elixir Nanoweb blows all others out of the water, in terms of playability, durability, and tone
  • elixirs sound great and last longer than any other string I've tried.
  • I prefer the D'addario for the price and tension and Elixir for the sound and feel.
  • I feel uncomfortable on both left (fretting) and right hand (I pluck strings with fingertips only, no nails)- Elixir ones have a bit less squeeze.- Elixir ones have more tension, I had to tune a half step down to have the same feeling (mostly in case of barre chords) as with EXP26- Elixir costs more than

Reviews around hand (2.37 of 5)

  • Usual acoustic strings hurt my soft hands after a few, but I think I could play these all day like I do my electric
  • I have weak hands so needed to balance light gauge with rich tone.
  • Good strings, the elixirs always give me a couple months of smoother action with my fret hand.
  • Overall great strings, but not the best strings for my style of play; they, just a tad, limits my desired playing access, but maybe I just need stronger hands lol
  • I've been blown away by the responsiveness, as well as how well they hold up.

Reviews around bite (1.76 of 5)

  • They are a bit expensive but with guitar strings it makes all the difference
  • They really bring out the treble and sound a bit mushy/tinny to my ear.
  • The guitar I have is particularly deep and bassy in tone, and these strings brighten it up quite a bit
  • I originally used and loved the polyweb strings, but my newer guitar really wanted something a bit brighter and livelier
  • Great strings, would love to see some improvement in the lasting of the strings, they play well for the first couple weeks but after that they loose a bit of their sound quality.

Reviews around string squeak (1.69 of 5)

  • The coating reduces string squeak and keeps the sound fresh for weeks (or months, depending how much or little I play).
  • ...I'm glad I tried them, as they do have more of a warm, bluesy sound to my ears...the only reason I didn't put 5 stars is that there's the usual string squeak I find with all strings I've tried, other than the Polywebs...definitely worth a try...!
  • Excellent product recommended A++
  • I hate string squeak and the NANOWEB coating is very helpful in reducing squeak on the wound strings.
  • I've been blown away by the responsiveness, as well as how well they hold up.

Reviews around string break (1.51 of 5)

  • Within these ten years I've only had 2 strings break on me, and I sometimes work 6 days a week for many for at a time
  • but this will be the third time I had one of their strings break on me.
  • I put these strings on and played the quitar for a total of maybe 30 minutes over a weeks time, and after dropping the G string to an F# then back to G standard tuning, the string broke.
  • Then to top it off, after a total of 4 hours play on the new strings the D string broke
  • I've been blown away by the responsiveness, as well as how well they hold up.
