Elixir Strings with Nanoweb coating last longer and sound great!
Gauges 10-13-17-26-36-46.
The engineers at Elixir took their original Polyweb coating and shrunk it down to Nanoweb size. The result? Brighter-sounding electric guitar strings that last 3 to 5 times longer than regular strings.
In addition to an ultrathin grunge-resistant tubular coating on the wound strings, Nanowebs now have a revolutionary Anti-Rust plating on the plain strings to extend their life too.
Elixirs are the first major innovation in guitar strings in over forty years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.
Doesn't your guitar deserve the best? Buy a pack today!

These string last me about 2 months of daily playing. Un-coated strings last me about a week. These are a bit more "spanky" and less "boomy" than un-coated strings but I just turn down the treble 1 notch and the bass up 1 notch on the amp. Also, they are a bit more slippery than un-coated. I got used to that pretty quickly. Very highly recommended!

Although the strings are advertised as having a long life, I've found them to break easily while bending or tuning. You have to consider that the nanoweb coating Elixer puts on these strings decreases from the monetary resources left over for the actual string; it ends up being cheaper in order to maintain a competitive price. The coating wears off easily and proves to be pretty useless except for serving to make the string slipperier and slidier. As a result, the strings feel smoother on your hands and create less noise from rubbing against them. I like this string noise, and the friction it's caused by helps me, personally, to feel the distance I'm sliding across the string. In other words, it's easier to keep track of where I'm at on the neck. The only possible reason I could think of to use Elixer's would be if you never bend and you really like the slippery feel that they give. I did use them for a while for this purpose, but I now find them to be too slippery. If you are a novice, please look at Ernie Ball or D'addario strings. They withstand more punishment and they have a much more popular, natural, human sound.

Comments about Elixir Light Nanoweb Electric Guitar Strings:
I've been playing for 26 years, this is without a doubt the best feeling and longest lasting set of strings I've ever used.
No one enjoys changing strings and cleaning them after every session. After trying these you will find your playing experience...liberating.
No other coated string does it this good.

Comments about Elixir Light Nanoweb Electric Guitar Strings:
My primary guitar is a Les Paul with P90s. Ernie Balls sound good but I have to turn down the treble on my guitar and amp. With Elixers I had the treble all the way up and still had to turn it up on the amp as well. It really cut the highs.
I usually play with both pickups; the bridge volume on 10 and the neck on 7 or 8. I like a thick sound that can cut. I imagine if I put these on my American Standard Strat it would sound great. But I can't imagine how dark these would be on one of my humbucker equipped guitars afher hearing them on P90s.
With these strings it's all about the guitar you put them on.

You'll get fresh sounds from Elixirs (Elc. & Act.) For a cruise ship gig, these are the way to go; the sea air will corrode your strings.

Comments about Elixir Light Nanoweb Electric Guitar Strings:
To me, these just didn't live up to the hype. They last an incredible long time and the tone is quite consistent but the feeling on the hands while playing with them just really really really bothered me after a while. I just had to go back to my standard strings once these were done with.
They DO at least last a very long time. And it has a nice tone though for me, was unusable either way. Maybe I just got a defective batch which is why I would recommend these to a friend: only to see if they had better luck than I did. If you have good experiences with them, keep using them!!!

Comments about Elixir Light Nanoweb Electric Guitar Strings:
These strings changed my life when they first came out and they continue to be the best, long life strong on the market. I rust out conventional strings pretty quick so I was stunned when I first installed them to find they last not just weeks, but months. Great tone, great intonation and phenominal life. I cant imagine any way these can be improved upon.
