Elixir Strings Electric Guitar Strings, 6 String, Super Light POLYWEB Coating

These strings are amazing. I wanted to wait a couple of months before I wrote a review of these Elixir Polyweb string so I could speak to their longevity. I normally use d'Addario or Ernie Ball Slinky strings and they last me about 3 weeks before they become dull, lifeless, corroded and hard to keep in tune. These Polywebs have been on two of my electric guitars now for 8 weeks and they sound and tune exactly the same as the day I put them on. I am still waiting to see how much longer they will last. I don't know about you, but to me changing strings is a chore and with these strings the time inverval between string changes is already making me very happy. And, like I said, even at 8 weeks these strings sound just as good as on day one. I realize that some players will not dig the smoother texture of the low E, A and D strings. For me, the transition was not difficult. I would suggest any player who wants substantially longer string life to give these a try. If you don't like the feel of them, you could try the Nanoweb strings from Elixir which are supposed to feel more like regular strings (however, I have heard that they don't last as long as the Polywebs, which have a thicker coating). In conclusion, at this point I have already gotten almost 3x as much life out of these strings, which effectively makes them, already, the same price per week as d'Addarios or Slinky's. And with no quit indicated in these Polywebs yet, they may very well last 5x longer or more, which would effectively make them more cost-effectilve than regular uncoated strings without the hassle of changing strings every 3 weeks!

They will last and last... if you keep a level of maintenance! I recommend cleaning your fretboard thoroughly before changing strings and keeping your guitar in a properly maintained humidity level (or at least in a dry gig bag!). MOST IMPORTANT: I use Fast Fret before and after I play (some mineral oil on a lint-free cloth will work just about as well), and my Elixirs last months and months. It is a discipline, much like how the Samurai kept his blade clean, but will keep your strings in shape. For other brands, some tarnish or even rust may appear after a few weeks of normal use, and I would have to use WD-40 to remove it (just don't get it on the guitar's wood!!!). Sometimes it wouldn't help, and the strings (sometimes not even all of them, just the wounds or just the unwounds) would just sound dead and need to be replaced. Elixirs still sound good, and keep a consistent tone across all of the strings that sound nice. I can't say that they sound as bright as the day they came out of the package, but it's WAY more bang-for-your buck. I've also yet to see one spontaneously break on me under normal stress and tension, but I'm not about to tune my guitar higher to test my luck. I am a studio musician and play a lot, and from over 15 years of experience, these are my favorite strings. I'm currently recording an album with an Ibanez RG470 and the same strings I've had on for four months. Ask yourself: what's my time worth? Do I want to keep actually playing, or do I want to play guitar-tech all of the time? Changing strings sucks. Get Elixirs!

There are no other strings for me. For the small bump in price up front, you get that back with how long the strings last...a long time! They sound great and feel great.

I was skeptical of these strings with all the marketing and everyone seems to reference them. Well I tried them, yeah they last a long time, yes they are smooth, yea the tone is good even after hours of use. I have used these for two months about 1.5 hours a day and they are just now showing signs of wear. In my mind totally worth the extra price.

Best string in my 10 years of guitar playing. Why didn’t I use it much earlier.

Elxilrs are great , sometimes the coating might change tone , but I don’t know they are the most supple well intonation brand around . Very playable and consistent , maybe the best brand today . Their acoustic bronze are the best along with j pearse . These blue box warm ones I like the best …

These strings last at least 10 times longer than any other strings I've used. I wipe them down every session and they always sound like new strings. The poly coating not only makes them last longer but also makes for much faster sliding and overall playing, particularly for lead guitar. I can't recommend them highly enough, I'd never use any other strings again even if they were free.

Originally I thought I made a mistake by buying these,boy was I wrong lol! From now on I'll get these instead of the optiwebs,lowered the action on my jackson js22 after I put these on and the difference is like night and day,no more optiwebs,polywebs now

Amazing. I got these exactly one year ago and strung up the guitar. Only really just got time to start playing and they are still fresh as new. Sound is so good.

Comprei dois jogos pra colocar em duas guitarras. Não durou dois meses e arrebentou a primeira e a terceira corda, uma de cada corda.

Got what I ordered on time.
