Elixir Strings, Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with NANOWEB Technology, Longest-Lasting Bright Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Super Light 9-42

First time using this brand. I love these strings and will purchase them again the next time I need new strings. They sound great and are rust resistant so they will last longer.

I tried these not knowing what to expect, and have been very pleasantly surprised. I tend to have sweaty hands, and my guitar strings get a lot of crud on them and then eventually rust. Although I have learned now to wipe them down each time I play, they still deteriorate pretty quickly, and it's a pain. When I wipe them down with a cloth, they leave black streaks of crud on the cloth. The Elixirs are not as bright as other strings when you first put them on -- that is true. However, other strings lose their brightness after just a few hours of playing, so I don't see this as a major disadvantage. The advantage is that these strings get very little crud on them. When I wipe them down, there's nothing on the cloth! I've even stopped wiping my strings down as carefully. So for a player like me, these are a godsend. I don't detect any loss of tone. They are a bit slippery, and some people have reported having trouble because of this, but it's fine for me. Definitely they're worth a try. Although they're twice as expensive as regular strings, they'll last longer, so they're worth checking out! Ernie Ball makes titanium coated strings that I'm interested in trying out, and there are some other brands, too.

Maybe it’s because I went from 10 to 9 but these strings play and sound great on my Strat. Better than any ive used before. Not sure how well they will hold up but for now theyre awesome and a bigger upgrade than I thought theyd be. Keep in mind when you switch to lighter strings you aren't going to get the same single string power because it's a little less mass, less sustain. But the tradeoff for me is worth it, an overall better sound and playability.

My favorite strings, I use them on all of my guitars. They feel smooth, tone is great and they last.

I first used Elixir nanoweb super light almost a decade ago and I have never looked back. These strings last pretty much forever if all you are doing is playing normally, honestly I'm surprised Elixir makes money off of these when they last so long. I've never had these strings break on me while playing. Only time I would get a new set of strings would be when I have to take them off for changing hardware on my guitar or something. I've had a guitar with these strings on and stored it away for 4 years and I came back and the strings were in perfect condition. There are some incompetent reviewers saying these strings are bad because the string broke after they took it on and off multiple times. This is true for ANY METAL. If you bend metal over and over again, it will break. If these strings break, it's your own fault. I've never had this string break on me for no reason. These are THE best string in the world and everyone should use these.

I've pretty much always used 009-042 string sets and I have the most experience with Fender Superbullets on my Strat. Needing to restring a non-Strat and bring some 010-046 strings down to my prefer gauge I bought these for a PRS I had bought. Wow, these so dramatically improved the playability of the PRS it was amazing. Also, these strings started maintaining tune within 30 minutes of play time. Excellent! They are a bright sounding string which is fine by me and are still starring on the PRS. I can't wait to try a set on my Strat to see how well they do. Strings are a very personal choice among guitar players but I'd put these up against any out there that I've tried over the last 50 years of playing guitar.

I have used Elixir strings since they came out , or at least it seems like it. They do last longer and hold a tone longer than most , but my personal reason for buying them is the feel. They just feel better , and look better too. Even if you have a road worn vintage guitar use these , and let the music shine , because it will. No matter what guitar or kind of guitar , Elixir can only make it better. Now , sure you can find these at any corner music shop , online or on the road , so why buy from Amazon ? Service , plain and simple , you just can`t get better service than Amazon , and that is a fact. I am getting nothing for writing that statement , however it remains a statement of fact , there are many companies that could learn from Amazon , but sadly , they just refuse to learn. Nobody asked , just my opinion. Have a great day my fellow music makers !! Gary 

Originally I used to get NYXL D'Addario strings but switched to these becuase I didn't like how my strings kept rusting after only 2 weeks of playing. I've been using these strings exclusively for about a year now and I've never seen them rust yet (I switch them out about every 2 months). Very easy to play, good lasting sound and very durable too. I've only had one time that a string broke on me (high e string which I was bending really hard). Definitely worth giving these a go.

Elixir strings are amazing, they sound and feel good for ages. I go between either elixir or d'addario and both are really good and i would highly recommend both brands. 10 stars though for elixirs I love these strings!

Por años usé Dunlop Super Slinky’s, pero comencé a ver que llegaban con rastros de óxido dentro del paquete cerrado y de paso no me duraban más de un mes en buenas condiciones. Decidí probar con las Elixir y no podía creer el resultado tan favorable. Hice un test de desgaste, y estuve 3 meses tocando con el mismo set sin limpiar nunca las cuerdas (cosa que hacía religiosamente con las slinky cada vez que terminaba de tocar). Para mí sorpresa, no solo mantenían su color, sino también su tono brillante. No al 100% como el día 1, pero seguían dando buen tono. Lo que sí llega a hacerse apreciable es la disminución de la estabilidad de afinación. Llegado a ese punto es que las cambio o, que se rompa una cuerda, que solo pasa tras meses de uso. Las mejores y mas duraderas cuerdas que he tocado, por lejos!

Superlative, il primo approccio è stato top. Vengono montate di serie sulle ESP e le E-II, purtroppo sulle LTD anche se di fascia molto alta no. Così diciamo ho chiuso il "circhiolo" provando per la prima volta questa tipologia di corda e sto godendo come un riccio tra la qualità costruttiva della chitarra, pick Seymour Duncan e le corde. Il feel, l'intonazione, la facilità dei bending enl dei vibrato... Ne parlerei per ore... Non è detto che faccia per voi, ma un tentativo lo farei. Me ne sono innamorato, piano piano provo tutte le Elixir, per ora queste rimangono le mie preferite

Great Strings Great Value I put these on 11 months ago and it's a shame I have to cut them off my Squire to do the fret ends, there is really no degeneration in sound or feel. Cut them off; They do have the fret wear on the bottom. Camera can't focus in on that. 100% worth the extra as long as you don't break the high E string.
