Nickel Plated Steel

Look good sounds good easy to use

Great strings good value for money

The only strings I use! Last forever and very smooth.

The smoothest and best wearing strings. Mid-level gauge so not too thick or thin and handle lots of note bending when it matters. Cheapest price around without compromising on quality.

I Used these on my acoustic for Fingerstyle and have also used the electric version with a pick. THE GOOD + much longer lasting than uncoated string + clear bright sound + natural feel with no stickiness + no black fingers as with uncoated strings THE BAD - coating frays over most used areas of fretboard - coating frays over soundhole where plucked by fingers (also frays on my electric where I use a pick) - expensive. So far I still prefer these for acoustic, but have moved over to optiwebs on electric (great tone, no fraying,quieter under fingers)as they sound slightly better and last longer. It’s a shame optiweb aren’t available for acoustic... If you have found this review helpful, please could you click the ‘Helpful’ button below. Thank you.

Good quality smooth and good tone. Don't tarnish

elixir are the best strings in my 40+ years playing guitar - these solved several issues: 1.quality of sound of an ordinary uncoated strings goes down rapidly - but not with these - I had 0.13 gauge phosphor bronze strings on for almost 3 years - they never went muddy 2.I am not a pro and I don't have a guitar technician - so for me changing strings every week or two was up to me and I have 10 guitars 3.so I am buying about 3 packs a year instead of 20 - 30 4.it is a big time and money and hassle saver and that is why I've been using these strings for more than 15 years now...they sound great and for very long time the only complaint could be that they are not unbreakable....they do break exactly as any other strings, but because it is usually top E string,just get a few cheap spares and that's it

11 feb 2020 £8.00 a pack! These didn’t come in the old pack as advertised, it’s the new pack. I did hear someone on the net saying that there are counterfeit packs about? Well, I’ve been using these strings for years now, and I did have a bad batch one time that looked right, felt right but they broke relatively quickly and in odd places. I always break a string on the saddle but these broke, two in the middle and one broke where my locking tuner locked it down, never seen that before? This was back when they changed the pack design and it only happened once with two packs if I remember? Counterfeit? How would they even do that? There would be NO point in copying these, just make your own brand if you can indeed copy them authentically, then sell them cheaper and also sell singles at a good price, and in multi packs... easy, even Amazon’s A. I. will tell you that! These strings are as good as ever. Be careful if you buy these though, odds on you won’t be able to go back to cheaper uncoated.... But then isn’t that how it always goes, I have a few guitars I can’t believed I played for so long, we move on...

Not happy good sound but broke after week and a half of medium use

Love elixers, best strings that I have ever used. Love the feel the sound and they last longer than any other brands I've used. I hate trying new brands anymore because they always fall short on sound and quality so now I stay with elixer and avoid disappointment. They cost more but are worth it in my opinion. If you like changing strings every week or don't care about feel or balanced brightness of sound then get the cheaper strings for sure.
