I've tried Elixer strings on both electric and acoustic in the past. On electric, I've never been fond of the feel. To me they're a combination of a little too tight and a little slippery under my fingers. On 6 string acoustic they're okay but a little too bright sounding for my taste. However, when it comes to 12 string (I only use mine for around 10-20% of a standard acoustic gig) I see them as excellent value for money. I have little patience for changing strings on my 12 string Takemine so like to do it far less than I would on my Martin D28.
These keep a nice bright consistent sound for a long time and aren't too easy to break. I'm a pretty heavy hitter as a player and using them on 6 string is impractical to me due to the higher cost of Elixer strings.
This is a nice gauge also. Slightly lighter than the last set I used (Martin) which makes certain things more comfortable to play on 12 string.
Will definitely buy again!

The only strings I use on 12-string
Twansmusic 17.05.2021
if you like elixir strings you know you'll want these for your 12-string.
I sweat a lot and non-coated strings tend to last me about a week tops, but elixirs always last me months(even though I choose to change them quite often still)
They keep their bright tone til the end, wonderful strings and I cant recommend them enough! Excellent!

I bought these strings for my 12 string acoustic about 6 weeks ago, they are still going strong now. They are still bright and have great tone. I always use Elixir strings on my guitars as I find they are the only strings that hold the tone and do not rust. They are definitely worth that little bit extra money.

The best i have used at the time of writing this review

Long lasting, great sounding strings that have a good feel. You get what you pay for with these strings. On a high-end Ibanez 12-er that i used thrice a week, the strings had oodles of tone for much longer than any of the previous strings that i had used. They hold tune well and do not get affected as easily by the elements or the weather. Worth every penny.
