All user reviews for the Elixir Strings Nanoweb Coating Electric 6-String

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 the rope curled a little).

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!

Because:

For me it works! But for you? ...


Good music anyway, and do not take yourself too the head with it ^ ^.

I use this model for over a year and I only used 3 games ... I love to hit them, their longevity, I really struggle to replay on instruments with spun uncoated strings: immediately we feel that it hangs much, that the game is less fluid. I play it for 2 to 5 hours per day, and I do not need to change very rarely, when the coating is in really bad shape (which happens rarely anyway, I change more by habit and habit than anything else!). I played on D'Addario (to not last long enough, whether in solid or sound) of Dean Markley Blue Steel (not the sound I wanted very quickly dull) and Savarez (very good but had necessarily shorter).
The only real drawback is the price, but by ordering bundled in a large German distributor we found it widely!

How long have you been using?

I use Elixir strings for several years, I know exactly how long but! Never been disappointed once! I mounted it pulling a bit special on a Gibson ES 335 that I traded for. It allowed me to have the flexibility of taking 9-42 for treble and a little more rigidity and stability for the bass. Interesting facts about certain guitars or as we seek ...

What is so special that you like most and least?

Advantages: Longevity quite impressive (I have some guitars with a set mounted for more than 6 or 8 months playing it at least 2-3 times / week and they sound like the beginning) even if they had really played extensively much longer than others. Touch, they are very slippery, it became necessary for me, even over it, I put all the time in fast freight. Sound, very bright, full, rich, beautiful ...

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? ...

Of course, there is no better!

Since 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. 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.

Set of strings with three large are protected by a kind of plastic film 20 €. Not small!
Balance after a month or two I find myself with three strings rotten (ground if mi) and 3 as new, without a hint of oxidation. Result in a chord the sound is awful all the same. It was well worth the extra € 20 the game ..

A notice says that they are easily two years. Ropes protected I do not know, but the fine must not exaggerate in 1-2 months they are all black!

Against the ropes by the agreement are almost instantly and have a good sound right away, I was surprised.

I will not go down with this choice, the idea is good but way too expensive.
