Warm and Vibrant Tone Made to Last

Elixir Acoustic Nanoweb strings don't just sound great their micro-thin coating keeps them sounding great for a lot longer than average strings. If you want to keep your guitar tone consistently great day in and day out, put on a set of Elixir Acoustic Nanoweb strings. Their coating actually cuts down on unnecessary finger friction. You'll be amazed at how long they last! Less string changes means having to buy strings less often.

The focused sound of phosphor bronze

Elixir's Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings have an organic, focused, and vibrant tone, which makes them great for bringing the warmth and brightness out of dark-sounding guitars.

Broken Strings

Although I encountered some issues with installing the electric guitar strings but I must admit that Elixer has excellent customer service. Beyond what most companies of any type would provide. I will be an Elixer client for life. They sound great, feel great, and are all I use on my top instruments. BTW, does Elixer make ukulele strings? I'll certainly find out!

Fabulous strings

I bought these on the recommendation of my sales engineer, Jacob Terhune. Had used Martin retros on my D-28 until then. These strings brought the sound of that marvelous guitar t o a whole new level. Sound projects with greater authority and tonal accuracy. My husband-in-law who has been playing for 50+ years thought they were awesome-easier to fret and finger pick. I am sold on them.
Music background: Playing off and on for 50 years.

Finally!

I gotta say I put off trying these for quite a while due to they're price and how many mixed reviews I've read bit I knew I had to someday. I can't believe it took me this long. What finally got me to was hearing these are what Eric bibb uses because I love his tone more then anything I've ever heard. I always figured alot of that was his technique, which a good portion is but I'm a heck of alot closer to it now!
I've also never had a string literally make me a better player. The slick feeling on them allows for incredible ease and comfort on the fret board. Very little movement noise as well, which never bothered me but it does for some people. Anyway I highly recommend trying them at least. Have only had them on a 2 days so can't attest to the lifespan, but seeing as I play 6 to 8 hours a day every day, they are already holding up much better then other strings.
If you're not into these and don't like the coating, I recommend la Bella. They have been my brand until now and have never disappointed.
Music background: 20 years on acoustic guitar. Fingerstyle. Country blues, jazz, songwriter.

Best Strings for Taylor

So for a long time I've tried different strings for my Taylor 110 acoustic. I searched their site and they recommended the Elixir strings, something I had not tried on this guitar before. I went with the 11-52 set as I wanted a warmer sound. I was blown away. The guitar truly sings now, the strings are amazing and sound crisp but not too twangy. Perfect for my upcoming recordings.

The Best

For the longest time, I'd been shuffling between different brands of acoustic strings. While most of them weren't completely terrible, I was never fully satisfied with their results. I was first introduced to these strings when trying a Taylor at a local guitar shop, and out of curiosity decided to pick up a pack to test on my guitar at home. Since then, I've never looked back. Tone is fantastic, full, and even; feels great against fingertips; long lasting and durable. Plus, given my preference to lighter gauge strings I don't feel like any tone was sacrificed here like I've sometimes found in other brands. I've pretty much tried them all, and I can easily say these, and also the Polyweb Elixir strings, are the best acoustic strings around. Highly recommended!
