The Best!
December 17, 2021
I've been ordering from you for several years now. Great prices and product. Was in the studio working on the latest album.
I'm one of those players, who can feel and hear the difference when you have newer strings. Your excellent prices make this possible!
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas , Happy Holdays , and a Happy New Year!
God bless you all!

Unwound strings too light.
May 27, 2022
I play a Santa Cruz D-model, an H-model and a '54 J-45. I had to buy 12- and 14-gauge to replace the unwound strings. Way too light to move any sprruce.
Pros
- I like the clarity of the lighter bass-range strings.
Cons
- Unwound strings too light to evoke satisfactory response. Also: Overpriced.

The only strings worth buying - Elixers
February 10, 2022
A friend sent me a new guitar, an inexpensive knock around called a Gretsch Gin Rickey. Actually turned out to be a nicely made guitar suitable for beginners students and as the-one-you-play-when-you-don't-want--to-break-out-the-big-guns. Right out of the box it sounds loud and balanced, but frankly a little tinny. I ordered up a set of elixir nan0-web lights, and changed out the strings from the factory.
Suddenly the little guitar became a giant guitar, always in tune, always shiny toned and full sounding. I've used elixirs for years. People see the price and shun them. But it's strange, when you consider how long lasting they are. I play more than two hours a day. A set of elixirs lasts as much as two months or more.
Every other string I've ever used lasts no more than a week under my fingers.

- I would say expensive
- but considering how long lasting,
- Not at all

Long Lasting Strings
April 15, 2021
Though pricier than many other makes, these strings are well worth the cost. The ""new string " sound lasts for a very long time.
These sets are slick and fast, eliminating the need for string cleaners and conditioners that end up fouling the fretboard,

I've been using Elixir acoustic strings for many years. Every once in a while I will try the newest recommended strings and it doesn't take long for to change back to Elixir's. Never have I had an Elixir string to break. Not once. I play the .010- 047 on my Carvin Cobalt. Great tone and projection either flat picking or fingerstyle.
Pros
- Minimal stretching. Great tone. Reasonable cost, taking in consideration the length of time between changes, which for me is usually monthly.
Cons
- Slight string squeak when new. But after a couple of hours of playing, hardly noticeable.

Elixir- Tonal quality that lasts almost forever!

Elixir- Best strings for a bright tone that never quits. If you are a fan of a bright acoustic sound that holds different tunings then these are your strings. Elixir are great for electrics also.

Have had my new Martin fitted with these strings for about 3 weeks and they still sound brand new after heavy heavy playing. I'm talking hours a day, every day. Can't go wrong with Elixir!

Best strings on the planet!!! I have been using these for 5 or 6 years and not once have they let me down. Good tone and quality I would recommend to anyone who's looking for a reliable taught string with a reasonable price, this is the one.

Great strings, with longevity being their forte. They sound excellent amplified, with less extended highs non-amplified. They don't bend as easily as non-coated strings, otherwise it's hard to find fault with these strings.

I use nothing but Elixers for their consistancy and long durability. The most consistantly great sounding strings availabe (IMHO)
