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: .013; .017; .026w; .035w; .045w; .056w

5Amazing Strings  Apr 04, 2006 By blakwyte
the polyweb coating makes them last much longer than normal strings, and allows them to sound much better throughout their lifetime by preventing oil from your fingers from building up on them. the coating also allows for easier slide playing.

great concept, well worth the extra few bucks they cost.

4Very nice set of premium strings  Aug 13, 2008 By Foo "BIG"
These stings are very good. Personally I prefer the d'ddario phosphor bronze, but the polywebs last 3 times as long.

Another upside to the polywebs is that they eliminate string noise, and "string grab" on your fingers when sliding up by fiths, octaves, or when just changing chords quickly. The fingers kind of glide over the stings.

Downside is that the coating does noticeably effect the richness of the tone when the strings start to age, and will never sound exactly like a top quality un-coated new phosphor bronze set.

Then again my ears are very very particular to tone quality and timbre, and some say they don't notice any difference.

5Very satisfied  Mar 30, 2012 By eman nep
I am a chronic sweater and I tend to destroy strings within days. I've used D'Addario's and some Fender coated strings (factory for my DG8S). I have gotten into the habit of using hand sanitizer, applying lubricant/cleaner, and wiping down my strings before/after each use. The strings I mentioned previously would accumulate grime anyway. I'm talking about grime that I could feel as I was wiping them down; grime that I couldn't remove. The strings would become discolored and their tone deadened. This was such a big problem that I saw a dermatologist and got a prescription deodorant for my hands- no kidding.

These strings not only have kept their color, but their tone has remained pristine in spite of very sweaty sessions. I fully expect to continue using these strings for as far as I can foresee.


5Fantastic strings, long life, great tone!  Oct 29, 2011 By Mr Roberts "Mr. Roberts"
I have been using these strings for years and years and they seem to last a very long time and hold a great tone! They are worth the extra money and the coating makes playing much easier on your fingers where they can slide easier up and down the fret with much less noise from finger slide. Great product!


5Elixir polyweb med 56-13  Aug 13, 2011 By Chuck Davis
Best Acoustic guitar strings i ever played. last very long holds tone even if you been using the strings for 2 to 3 months. The anti rust strings keep the strings looking new for 2 months or more. I buy many sets when they go on sale.
