Elixir Nanoweb Light

Durability:
I spent most of my life living a very dry environment, (Calgary) where stings on an unplayed guitar would last a year at least. On the guitars that get played everyday I used Blue steels for over 20 years and would get about a week out of them with everyday use, but after moving to a much more humid environment (Munich) I found my strings on unplayed guitars lasting no more than a week, and only hours on guitars I play everyday, even in my humidity controlled studio.
Elixir strings sound 99% as good as normal strings (objective) in those first few moments of new strings and stay sounding that way for a long time.
I play everyday, hours a day and these strings eliminate the distraction of rusty/crusty strings.

Feel:
Elixir strings feel great, I thought it was snake oil until I tried them out, but they feel awesome, not quite slippery, but much less friction than uncoated strings.

Sound:
They sound great.
Like I mentioned above, in the first moments after a string change you might notice that they are a tiny bit mellower than brand new uncoated strings, but after playing them in, these actually sound brighter than uncoated strings because that stay clean and rust free.

I once tried Elixir strings. "They will last you for a long time", they said.
Well... for once, they do! And with amazing tone through their life!

I am now an exlusive user of Elixir Nanoweb strings. And I have over a dozen different style guitars. The common point is always the Elixir strings.
They last 3 to 5 times longer than the average string set. And the tone is killer! Goodbye rust!
The Nanoweb coating also provides a "faster" feel to the string, as if they were constantly lubricated.

I don't even consider other brands now. And I recommend the Elixir Nanoweb to all my customers. And it's the first thing I do when I get new guitars: a fresh new set of Nanowebs.

I recommend Elixir Nanoweb Light strings to those who appreciate quality and durability.

I have tried MANY guitar strings over the past few years and I ALWAYS end up back to the Elixir Nanoweb strings.
Not only does it save me money in the long run due to its durability, it has a nice "punchy" attack to it which I really like.
But the main selling point for me is the fact that it doesn't corrode with my HIGHLY acidic sweat.
I sweat a lot and it's very corrosive on the strings. Any uncoated strings will completely lose it's original lustre in just 2 hours of playing and it makes it harder to play with lots of friction and string noise. Other coated strings only last a bit longer than that.
Elixirs, however, are perfect for me as it lasts much longer and has a nice smooth feel.

PROS:
1) Lasts much longer than ordinary strings
2) Smooth feel
3) No string noise
4) Nice Mid-range response
5) No dirt accumulated at the bottom of the strings

CONS:
1) Tone is a bit lost with coating
2) The smooth feel could also be a con as not everyone likes it, so you have to try it out yourself.
3) I have yet to personally experience it but some people say that the G string snaps very easily.
4) Much more expensive than regular strings

These strings may be expensive but it saves you money in the long run so don't be scared and turned off by the price!
If you have an acoustic guitar, take a look at the Acoustic strings from Elixirs as well!

First i must admit these strings were installed to replace extremely old ones on a used guitar that i purchased. So it was a huge step up from those.

These are the first strings i purchase from Elixir, and i music admit they look a lot better than i expected. Really nice steel shine finish to them. They sound awesome, slightly metallic sound but it's not that noticeable. It says they'll last quite some time, but i cannot vouch for that yet as their still fairly new. Easy to install (depending on your guitar of course), also they fall into tune very easily. i've purchased strings before that needed a few tuning sessions until they 'warmed up'. These guys fell into tune right after installation and have not really changed (of course depends on your playing style as well), i tend to play a little soft with occasional roughing on them heavy riffs.

Pros:
- Look/feel great
- Stick to tune almost instantly
- Smooth upon sliding to notes

Cons:
- None so far.

Would recommend these to anyone looking for good new strings at an affordable price.
