Product Rating Product Review I’ve been using these strings on all of my acoustic guitars for over a decade. Wouldn’t think of using anything else. They are double the cost of name brand regular strings but last 10 times longer. They have a ‘broken in’ sound out of the package and retain that same tone for months and months of daily playing. Give em a go- you be the judge. Elixir poly webs are the best. Period.

Product Review I used uncoated strings on both my electrics and acoustics for years. In 2019 I started using them on my many acoustics, and a year later went to Elixir for my electrics as well. Didn't take much getting used to, and has saved me SO much time changing strings!

Product Review Of course I love the longevity of the strings, but one unexpected benefit is smell. Bronze strings begin to smell strange (to me) after a while. These do not.

Product Review Been using elixir strings (acoustic and electric) since men were men and sheep were runnin scared. To me, they're the best regarding playability, keeping in tune after bending on lead runs and tone after using them for at least several months before having to change them. Just keep em clean and they'll last.

Slippery to Me but Sound Good

Product Review These Elixir strings sound pretty good to me but they are a little slippery. I play fingerstyle and I'm always checking out a new string or gauge when I get a new guitar. I still prefer the Martin Lifespan 10 gauge for my Martin 00013e I bought here at AMS. You can get these two strings and many others here at AMS and I am very pleased with their service and shipping.

Product Review I've purposely ignored the strings for years, thinking that they were just a gimmick. They're not! Easy to play, stay in tune, sound great, and last a long time! Eveything an acoustic player needs. I am now a convert for life.

Product Review A little sacrifice in tone on acoustics but not enough to stop using them. Electrics sound the same to me although I do play with a little dirt so... That's all, carry on!

Product Review Polywebs are my favorite...hands down. Low slide noise and they are so long lasting. And warm! I prefer these over any nanowebs for that very reason

Product Review Man you just can not beat a new set of Elixir Strings. I prefer the Polyweb to the Nanoweb. Mostly because with the thicker coating, you get a little bit more life out of the strings with no loss of resonance or sharpness of tone. Great Strings. Thanks AMS!!!

Product Review The Elixir guitar strings sound crisp and clear. They are easy on the fingers and last at least twice as long as conventional strings. Don’t get fooled by other manufactures ads. Buy the real thing first and you won’t be disappointed. ELIXIR & DONE.

Product Review Great strings. I've always been a fan of the polyweb coating. They have a very slick and smooth feel to them. To be clear, these are not bright sounding strings, yet they are far from dull. They keep a very fresh, warm tone for months and have great sustain. Highly recommended to the player who prefers string changes to be far less frequent.

Best light strings for acoustics

Good quality They last forever or at least long enough so as to drain them from effective sounding. Your general opinion of this product. Very gentle strings for those of us playing once in a while. They feel nice and gentle and of course, we have to give up a little punch to gat that feeling. Excellent tone for the gauge involved. Very nice and soft finish. Invaluable for those of us looking for friendly, forgiving strings on our fingers Perfect.

dependable as they get...VERY STRONG DEPENDABLE STRING stand's up great, You vould leave these string's on for a few year's and the would still soud great. And the don't rust that much, like other string's. Your general opinion of this product. I have tryed different string's on my accoustic, DAddario to martin and ghs boombers, which all CLAIM to have long life.....But these string's can back it up. with these string's You don't have to worrrry about string change evry 6-mouths You can even thrash on these suckers and they can take it They have some base to them which I like I wouldn't say dark or bright, defintley smooth. like I said these string's don't rust very mush very good, nice clean sound

Excellent for me The last set I had on stayed on a year, but that was mostly because I stopped playing for a while. Your general opinion of this product. Excellent! I have a Godin A6 which has great pickups in it, but they are so good that any other strings I use on it squeak way to much. These strings cut that squeak (in between cord changes) way down. I love the feel of these strings. I play the extra lights since I have almost a solid body guitar. These are darker strings I probably wouldn't play them on a standard flat-top, but I love them on my Godin. great

The ONLY choice for people who love that acoustic tone

Very well made...string breakage is the same as any other better quality string. They sound new for a VERY long time. Your general opinion of this product. Im OBSESSIVE about my tone/sound, and this is the ONLY acoustic guitar string I buy. Acoustic strings tend to corrode very quickly, and when they do-that beautiful tone you paid so much for goes with it. These strings sound new for a VERY long time and are more than worth the extra cost. Exactly what youd expect from a good quality acoustic guitar string....only for much longer. They look like normal, new strings with a slightly whitish tint from the coating. Nice...I think the coating makes them easier to play, too...makes them a little smoother.

Less bang for the buck......

Your general opinion of this product.

QUALITY:
Made well, but the polyweb coating comes off fast.

FEATURES:
They are guitar strings.. How many features could they have?

EASE OF USE:
They are fairly easy to use.

VALUE:
These strings arent worth $13.00, you would be better off getting Martin, or Gibson acoustic strings.

SOUND:
These strings definately feel the best. They arent too hard on your fingers, but the sound is not as good as lower priced strings. They buzz alot and it get annoying.
