ElixirStrings Electric Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Light/Heavy (.010-.052)

I’d estimate I play guitar 20-30 hours a week, practicing at home, playing in gigs and concerts, general use in changing weather conditions, etc, and these strings have never once cocked up on me. They keep their tone, soft feel, tuning stability, and don’t corrode even after many months of use without changing them. The price is brilliant for the longevity and quality they provide, and I can’t imagine ever switching from Elixir’s “nanoweb” strings. I honestly love ‘em

I've been using Elixir for a number of years, and whilst they are not the cheapest, you get what you pay for, I gig 2-3 times a week and these last me a month of gigs, easily, other brands I'm lucky to get a gig and half out of them, mainly due to the acidity of my skin, I can kill a set of strings in a couple of hours. they hold tune, stretch in quickly, and in my opinion have a great tone that lasts and lasts. I use them on all my electrics now and have played on 10-46 since I was 15, tension is perfect for me, Give them a whirl nothing to lose her on Amazon, if you don't like them at least you tried...

I've been an avid fan and user of Elixir Nanoweb strings of all gauges for well over a decade now and I don't see that changing. I've always known that I've had particularly acidic sweat and when I first started playing guitar 20 years ago now, I was burning through a pack of 'regular' strings in a week. Even with cleaning the strings after every use and using a type of string cleaner, a week was the most I could get out of a regular set. Then I got a set of Elixir Nanoweb strings and everything changed. Yes, they do feel 'slicker' at first but that feeling wears off after a while and you do get used to the difference in feel as compared to regular, uncoated strings. People say that the tone of coated strings is different but it's not something that I've ever noticed. If I put a set of Elixir Nanoweb strings on a guitar and I play that guitar for 2-3 hours every day, I will generally get 2-3 months of use out of that guitar before they start sounding 'dull'. Yes, the added cost might put some off but please, don't let that stop you. In the 3 months I get out of Elixir Nanowebs I would usually have restrung 12 times with a regular, uncoated string. For me that represents great value.+ great longevity, easily 2-3 months from a 'daily player'+ slick feeling, great for slides and bends+ value for money long-term

I have mildly fallen in love with these strings after years of switching between brands and never quite feeling right for my playing style. I play a lot of fast and aggressive Metal & Hardcore, and these things just punch straight through and give loads of options with high mids and highs, without being too shrill.The nanoweb coating gives an extremely fast, and to begin with slippery, feel (this took some getting used to but MAN they are good after breaking in). I would say for me the G string on the 10/52 set feels like a slightly too thick gauge, but that could just be personal preference.In terms of longevity- I play averagely about 2-4 hours a day, and this first set lasted me about 8 weeks (approx 170 hours) before the webbing started to fray at the picking end (this may also be attributed to my heavy picking hand). Throughout all of this, I noticed little gunk or corrosion on the strings, and the brightness only really started to roll off after about 5-6 weeks.The only thing to bare in mind, as a few other people have mentioned in reviews, is that my E string snapped at the bridge (tune-o-matic). I don't switch between tunings TOO often, but I feel this string suffered more from switching between E and drop D.Overall, for a little more money, I am going to continue running these strings unless I find something even better.

Great quality strings.Pack of three string sets.2 set of strings contained an empty envelope. So 1 set was not a full set. So I have no high E string. Will have to keep the set for emergency individual changes.

I've only had these strings on my acoustic for a day but they feel and sound great, I don't like bronze strings so always use electric guitar strings, usually Ernie Ball, but I thought I'd give these coated strings a try, glad I did

high quality wont use any other now

Bought on a Black Friday deal but use them all the time anyway
