Best Strings I've Ever Used

Iam a former Ernie Ball player and I normally don't enjoy changing strings, I used to let my strings get pretty nasty before I broke down and changed them.
I stumbled onto these Elixers about a year ago at my local music shop and figured I'd give them a try.
What a difference!
I absolutely love the feel of them, the tone is fantastic (I'm an Epiphone Les Paul player) and they'll easily feel fresh for months. All three of my guitars are now strung with Elixirs. They're well worth the extra couple bucks.
If you haven't tried them yet, you deserve to give them a shot.

The best strings I've ever used!

That's no hyperbole! I used to religiously use Ernie Ball Slinky 10 gauge. I saw these and read about them staying fresh for a long time, so I decided to check them out and see, because after about 3 months with the Ernie's I would have to change them, because they would just become dull and lifeless. I've had these strings on for about 3 months now, and they still sound as fresh as when I put them on! It's definitely worth the extra dough to buy these. I'll definitely get these from now on, because the price will even out to the Ernie's.

What's better?

I can't say anything bad about these strings they sound great,feel great,stay in tune and last. I have always used Dadarrio xl's and they always stay in tune and never break on me they are great strings but since I tried these a couple yrs ago I'm having a hard time going back and for those unfortunate ones who got a bad batch I would say try them again it was a fluke it can happen with any brand

Revised Review

I didn't see a way to revise a review. I gave a bad review, because while I love Elixir strings, I had got shorted a g string in a pack that I had bought. Jared Spindler, company representative par excellance called to check on a different order, spoke to my wife who mentioned the string, and replaced the set without my asking for it or knowing about it until a few days later. I had just written it off as too much trouble to bother returning. In any case, probably the best customer service of ANY online business that I've dealt with in years. I'm definitely a dedicated customer, but now even more so. Great job.

Best strings out there!!

I never thought I would change from using Ernie Balls, but not long ago I got a set of Elixirs on sale just to see what all the high pricing was about. I fully expected to put them on my guitar and immediately decide that they were overpriced for no reason whatsoever... Was I ever wrong!! That set of strings weren't just good, they changed my guitar playing forever. The coating makes sliding up and down the neck effortless, but even better, it makes it loads quieter than with regular strings. My thought process before trying them was that coated strings must certainly have a dull sound, but I was dead wrong in that assumption as well. These are the brightest and most dynamic strings I've ever played with, and they sound amazing, and they stay sounding amazing. I'M OCD AF so I still change them at too regular of an interval, because I can't not, but I'm sure I could leave them on for 2 or 3 months rather than one and they would still sound amazing. If you have wondered about these strings too, do yourself a favor and take your usual strings out of the cart (because after you put the Elixirs on, you WILL NOT be changing back) and grab a set of Elixirs instead. It will be the best thing you've done for your guitar and your playing in a long time.
