    • I gig out on these on a weekly basis and have yet to suffer any mid-set string breaks
    • I liked it until the finest string broke within one month!
    • Then to top it off, after a total of 4 hours play on the new strings the D string broke
    • but this will be the third time I had one of their strings break on me.
    • Always proud to have a spare pack lying around in my case in the event of any string breaking or when I need to replace my strings.
    • Dissapointed that I bought two sets and they both had the G .24 string break both times
    • The sound you get with Elizers is always good and their tones are clear bright and deep so to speak when it comes to the lower notes, but that last couple packages I have got from them, including this one had strings break on me almost for no reason at all.
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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

    • They sound great, hold in tune very well, but my high E string broke after less than a week of use

    • Over 6 months I ended up having to replace strings every few weeks because of strings breaking (G and B strings).
    • I think I've had one G string break when I was tuning up one
    • I looked at my bridge and nut for problems but the string breaking continued
    • I usually end up replacing my strings when the 1st string breaks, because i do often drop it down to D with an open D tuning, but that's after many many
    • The 0.024 gauge G string broke while stringing
    • G broke rather quickly
    • 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
    • Low e string kinda dull, overall, not quite as crisp as bronze 80/20
    • Excellent product recommended A++
    • Broke an A (!
    • I've been blown away by the responsiveness, as well as how well they hold up.
    • I think the tone is very bright (even with the coating) as good as or superior to any other phosper bronze string, and much more long-lasting
