Review: 10/10 - These are the best quality strings I’ve ever used. Other brands’ strings usually start to corrode after 2 weeks of use. These strings don’t even show wear until a couple of months of use. They have a great sound and they feel great.
Review: Best strings I've ever purchased - I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: At what point on the size scale does the 3-string (G) become a wound string?  Individual string dimension should be stated in the specs.**
A: Usually a wound 3rd is clearly stated on strings packaging, as that is a salient feature. You will find this often in electric sets 12-52, usually labelled "Heavy" or "Jazz." In most cases the wound G string starts at .021 or .022, but I've seen sets that wind the g at .018-.019. I know this is more general info and not related to Elixir, but I'm guessing it applies to their strings, too.

**Q: Are the unwound strings coated with the same material as the wound strings? Also, is the G string wrapped in 9-42 sets?**
A: The plain strings are treated with an anti-rust coating thats different from the nanoweb wrap or the other strings.  The 3rd is plain steel in the 9-42.

**Q: Why does this 3 pack cost $70 when a single pack is $13? Does this have something extra?**
A: Don’t buy it.

**Q: Would these be okay for a Harmony acoustic electric guitar and what gauge strings?**
A: Typically for an acoustic guitar you want acoustic strings, commonly phosphor bronze. These are for an electric guitar and have an unwound fourth string. They can be used in any guitar if you choose. I would suggest 11's on the light and up to 13's. I typically use 12's in my acoustic guitars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strings I've ever purchased
*by A***D on August 1, 2025*

I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality strings!
*by M***T on October 5, 2025*

Some of the best string out there! I was turned onto these after I started playing and rehearsing live 12hrs-15hrs a week. I was using just whatever, and I noticed my strings would loose top end and deaden within 1-2 months with Earnie Ball. I like the cheaper strings for replacement and if playing gigs that require fresh strings nightly. But for most players that want strings that’ll last 6-8 months…these are the strings. They won’t always get that much, but sound wise when that do last long they sound crisp still. Great for recording and busy gig months. Just pack some cheap ones for spares. Although string breakage has been rare for me with Elixrs.
