Elixir Strings with original POLYWEB coating have a balanced tone and smooth response. They feel comfortably smooth and reduce finger squeak. 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.

5Elixer - On All Of My Acoustics  Jul 21, 2007 By Gustavus B. Jackson III "gjack316"
Because of its smaller body, the Epiphone EL-00 guitar should not be subjected to the larger diameter strings, which might cause too much stress on the bridge. Elixer's Custom Light Gauge, Polyweb coated, strings solve this problem. Elixer strings continue to be my string of choice for professional applications with acoustic and acoustic/electric guitar. I use the Polyweb coated strings on all of my most prized instruments for their extended life, minimization of hand/finger fatigue, and control of string "squeek." This is a critical consideration during any live performance or studio situation. These strings cost more than others but they are completely worth the extra cost. My purchase, here at Amazon.com., represents a real bargain price on a top-of-the-line staple. I think if more introductory-level guitarists had the advantage of Elixer strings, they would be much more likely to stay with the instrument and develop into creative musicians. Your string choice is not the place to cut costs. The strings represnt your actual point of contact with your instrument and Elixer Polyweb strings are simply the finest, in my opinion.

5Currently the best in my opinion.  Jan 09, 2010 By Jaymis
I replaced my 12 to 53's (also Elixir) with these custom lights and simply love them. I basically went to a lighter string for comfort, more than anything else. I think I've tried every string made (maybe a slight exaggeration), and have no desire to further experiment. Simply put . . . these work! As with all Elixir polyweb strings they have a tendency to look a bit worn or tattered as you use them over a period of time, however, they keep their tone, reduce squeak and are comfortable to use for acoustic guitars. They do last! I currently use these on a Rainsong, which is carbon fiber and has a tendency to amplify string squeak due to the guitar construction. Being a loud guitar to being with, you lose little volume (if any) going from 12 - 53's volume wise.

I also used Elixirs on my Gibson SJ-200 and Southern Jumbo (12 -53's) and would never Considered anything else.


5Original formula!  Jan 11, 2012 By Joseph Harris
Polywebs are way better than Nanowebs. If you're gonna get the coating, you might was well go whole hog. Anyway, coated strings sound better than uncoated strings, they feel better than uncoated strings, and they squeak less than uncoated strings. Yeah, they cost twice as much, but they last twice as long, so it's a no-brainer.


5Great Strings  Sep 08, 2011 By Scott T. Poole "average guy"
I pretty much use these strings exclusively, now. I have three guitars that I rotate between, so sometimes they sit for a week or so without playing. I've found that with the Elixirs I don't have to change strings but about twice a year. They stay in tune and sound great!


4Mostly Amazing Strings  May 16, 2011 By Pat
These strings have an amazing sound and response! I wish they were less expensive because they seem to lose their sparkle in a short amount of time. The sound is so addictive that I feel the need to change strings more often. I have also broken more of these than any other brand with the same gage. I highly recommend these if you can afford the habit. They are remarkable.
