Special Features: Gauges: 12-16-24-32-42-53. Nanoweb® coating permits strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings. Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years and deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play. Elixir Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone! Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Gauges: 12, 16, 24, 32, 42, 53

Great, but G string doesn't last 
2008-08-05
I've played with elixir strings since they first came out. I love the sound and the fact that they stay new for a long, long time. But it seems like about a year ago my g string started breaking way too early. I usually leave the strings on for about 3 months, but the g string has started breaking after about 1 month, or sometimes earlier depending on how much I play my acoustic. It breaks at the saddle and I make sure there are no burrs and that it's set up right, but it keeps breaking. I've talked to several other players in the area that have stopped using elixir for the same reason. If Elixir will get this fixed, I'll come back, but until then, I go with D'Addario DXR.
Great sound, great response.

Great sounding strings, but I don't suggest you get these if you play hard. My friend used my guitar for a show and asked what kind of strings I use. He said they were going to break. Elixir always breaks on him because he plays hard. Sure enough they broke. I play more lead type stuff and like to work the dynamics on the string/strum level as opposed to the amp/pedal level so the responsiveness of these strings are great for me.

These strings are awesome. They are longer lasting and sound great.
I have one older guitar that has a muted sound with other strings I've tried. These strings bring out a better sound.
Worth every penny 2008-05-18
These strings are pretty amazing. I had gone many years without changing the strings on my guitar (they just held really well, and sounded great the whole time), but then a month or so ago I broke my G string (har har). I knew where I stood with electric guitar strings (which I break all the time), but I had never really had a reason to look into acoustic strings. I went to my friend, George, who is a local celebrity in the music scene, done a lot of recording, recorded two CD's which have sold very well for him, and who owns more and knows more about guitars than anyone I know, and he recommended these without missing a beat. I was annoyed by the price, but they have not disappointed in any respect. These strings are really easy on the fingers - very smooth and light. They are a little bright for my taste, but I think they'll warm up a bit as I break them in, and it might just be my guitar itself (which leans towards a lighter sound). I would recommend them to anyone who's not afraid to invest a little bit more in their strings. The cost has definitely been worth it, in my opinion.
Briefly stated: Excellent! 2008-04-26
Recently decided to start playing again so, new strings were a must. For the most part, everyone's top quality steel strings are pretty much the same so I tried the Elixir Light Nanoweb and......Wow!, YES there is a difference, much more than I ever thought it would be. I must agree with all of the reviews and place a five star rating on these. Excellent!
You really may wish to try them. They are worth the money difference!
Nice string 2008-04-25
Elixir® Strings with ultra thin NANOWEB? coating have the bright tone and punch of non-coated strings and feel like traditional strings. Elixir® Strings are coated in a unique way to protect wound strings from your DNA and other contaminants. A flexible, strong, yet micro-thin polymer tube defends the Critical Zone of Tone from invading enemies. Nothing (including the coating) gets between the windings. The result? Strings that sound and feel their best three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Coated in a unique way to protect wound strings from your DNA and other contaminants. The same feel, bright tone and punch of non-coated strings. Elixir® Strings sound and feel their best three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Gauges: .012; .016; .024w; .032w; .042w; .053w
not the cheapest, but definitely the best 2008-04-22
Elixir's may not be the cheapest strings out there... But unless you're a professional musician and you're changing your strings constantly anyways, these really are the way to go. I've heard some people say that they don't sound as good as X, Y or Z string... which may be true, but they are CONSISTENT. They sound pretty darn good out of the box, and they still sound that good after weeks and weeks (even months). Whereas some other strings may sound great at first, but after a couple days, start sounding dull...
pretty good

The strings sound good and do not wear off onto the fretboard like some other strings. My only knock on them, is that they seem to be a little slick. My fingers slip off the strings sometimes when I am doing a difficult chord. I have not had that problem in the past.
Good product / Great Service 2008-02-09
Great strings. after many years of playing the Elixir's top any others I have used.
brings an old guitar to life 2007-12-02
Amazing product! I replaced my strings (which were at least 2 years old, Martin strings) with these and I was blown away. It made a world of difference. Even though my guitar is entry level, having these strings make it sound amazing! Now maybe, it was because my strings were so old that the difference felt so dramatic, but I still think the Elixirs tend to ring louder and better than a lot of other strings. The nano coating can feel weird and a little slippery at first, but you'll get used to it.
If you have an entry level guitar, these will make your guitar sound so much better.
If you have a high end guitar, then you know you need the best.
