Magic!
Published on 12/07/14 at 08:18 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I no longer use these strings to ... They are simply magical. Before my strings broke after 2 weeks there even after six months I still have no case.
The touch is very nice, always slippery. A marvel.21WiR

Published on 01/20/14 at 17:02 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I am quite satisfied with its strings.
Before I used Ernie Ball 10/46. I tried to put her on one of my Elixir scratch (my main guitar).
Well I finally solved my problem sweating acid (bon appetit! ...)!
This must be several months that I have and they are as bright as my Elixir strings after 2 hours of play! (No I am not exaggerating!).
The treble strings tend to get dirty faster. But simply by cleaning (ie just remove residue once, without going on the ropes, quickly) they take really.
For what is serious, they are still shiny and new sound! I noticed on a recording where I hear this sound a little slamming new ropes (I do not know if you know what I mean, it's a sound as if…Read moreI am quite satisfied with its strings.

In short, I thereto after it is true that it is expensive.
But buying a website, quantity, value for 11-8 € the game (and if) and we buy for at least 1 year. So more boredom.
At the moment I'm waiting for that break change. It's been awhile since I had not done that =)!
BUT: I have a friend who sweats a little less hands than me and yet Elixir do not match him at all because apparently they oxidize quickly. It went on Ernie Ball Titanium I think.
CONCLUSION: I therefore advice to try once, if like me you have problems with strings that oxidize 3-4h A test game!

Published on 12/30/13 at 05:48 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I tried a bunch of brands for several (tens of) years and I do not see this brand better than both its lasting shine by its longevity.
no problem of texture or greasy feeling as I read above. for the price it is doubled if taken according to his dealer or a site in large quantities ... I had to pay € 11 in my last order.
I change when it is marked by frets because these strings do not wear
I have not yet tried for acoustic guitar but I'm tempted.00DeathPaupiette

Did you try many other models before buying it?
Yes, many brands except coated other brands that have emerged in the meantime but it tells me nothing, I am filled with Elixir ...
How do you rate the quality / price?
Excellent! But must be purchased by pack! On a site not end bay we found a lot and much cheaper than France! And especially those with marked take "with anti-rust plain steels", because if not, the three high strings will not be processed and will wear as normal strings! Logic ... So those who criticize the elixir saying "yeah, it's a scam, it's too bad these ropes etc ...." Know before you! The elixir has improved further, get a bunch which is written "with anti-rust plain steels" in the orange bar "nanoweb" and you will see that you change strings almost never ...
With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Longer lasting with a more natural feel
Published on 12/25/11 at 19:28Since nowadays I play so many guitars my personal guitars have to go long times without maintenance. I recently decided to try out the Elixir coated strings the Nanowebs and the Polywebs. I used two guitars and equipped them with each of the different types of strings from Elixir to test out the longevity and tone from the string with the different methods of coatings. The Nanoweb strings seem to be the more natural feeling of the two sets of strings. With the Nanoweb strings each little thread of string is individually coated then wrapped around the central string. The coating helps prevent dirt and gunk from building up in the ridges of the string.

I recently decided to try out the Elixir coated strings the Nanowebs and the Polywebs. I used two guitars and equipped them with each of the different types of strings from Elixir to test out the longevity and tone from the string with the different methods of coatings. The Nanoweb strings seem to be the more natural feeling of the two sets of strings. With the Nanoweb strings each little thread of string is individually coated then wrapped around the central string. The coating helps prevent dirt and gunk from building up in the ridges of the string. This seems to do a good job and the Nanoweb strings seem to last a 3 or 4 times longer than normal strings. Straight out of the box they do not have the twang and spank of a brand new set of uncoated strings but they retain their brand new tone 3 to 4 times longer it seems. This is the 10-52 set which I prefer. Having used GHS strings for years when I could get them I find that other companies strings are slightly lighter than there in feeling. This could all be in my head but a 10-52 GHS set to me feels heavier than everyone elses 10-52 set. This doesnt really matter as these strings held tune and performed fine with the slightly lower tunings I use. The coating gave them a slightly smoother feel and string noise was slightly reduced as well. These strings cost twice as much as regular strings but since they last 3 to 4 times as long you still end up saving money if you switch to these Elixir coated strings. If you are looking for coated strings that still feel close to what regular strings feel like these strings may be for you.See less00Vildrix

Published on 10/31/05 at 05:17 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I found these strings when I bought my Lag (early 2005) since they are mounted on this model.
I like the sound and feel of these strings, but above all ... longevity. I am a big lazy that changes only very rarely the strings. And then: happiness ... I kept the originals for 6 months, and they still had a hell of a (crystalline). Another notable feature: once installed they move virtually.
These are the best strings on which I have ever played. So I adopted and they have a cost ... but we found there.

EXPLANATION:
___________________________________________________________________________________
The advantage is that the strings Elixir strings "file" (ie Mi La Ré grave, and the soil when it is "spun") are protected by a coating that has several qualities:
1. it allows the dirt to not get into the thread of the rope, the rope retains its sound "clear" very very very long time.
2. He keeps a good thread "tight" around the core of the rope during the life of the rope, the rope retains a perfect intonation very very very long time as well as the clarity of its sound.
3. it protects the rope from corrosion, the rope retains etc ... etc ...
In fact, the Elixir strings sound like many other "good" brands. They only last an extremely long time.
The result - although more expensive than other brands, when properly placed on a guitar, they can make real savings.
NB-1: the strings are not spun like those of other brands, meaning that the benefit of this trademark resides only in the "wound strings."
NB-2: It is vital, and this on ALL metal string guitars, strings acute change very frequently (especially before the onset of the 1st signs of oxidation). Indeed, when slightly oxidized (this is evident when they "slide over" to the touch), the upper strings act as effectively as LIMES on the frets, what is more, the more they attack the more they are fine the frets instead of "rolling" on it by vibrating.
I use particularly 10-52 (10-13-17-32-42-52), because more than one string is "hard" over it "sounds" and that's really not the 10-13-17 end of the world (I mean, a guitar mounted correctly set 10-52 is easier to play a guitar set incorrectly and mounted with rubber bands).
There are cases where this shooting (firing or stronger) is necessary even essential: the guitars a little half-boxes kind of big guitars jazz or country-rock (big Gretsch etc ...) need tie a bit "beefy" to sound 100%.
Elixir offers a good selection of rods:
https://www.elixirstrings.com/products
In my case I discovered the Elixir strings in 1996 during a visit to Mr Bert Wills (a musician friend from Houston, TX, United States _ http://www.bertwillsband.com), and since I ' most have switched brands of strings.
