Elixir Nanoweb Baritone

Once I?ve got a baritone guitar with 27? scale this was first set that I bought for it. Good size to use not only for B-standard, but also for A-standard tunings without flabbiness.
The sound is bright, has pronounced vibrant presence and good dynamic punch yet representing guitar body and if not warm, but still makes instrument does not lose its body tone. Such sound works good if you plays rock and metal - you will have clear cleans, crispy solos and very well pronounced rhythm.
They are stay fresh surprisingly long time especially taking into account that I sweat a lot during playing and was expecting that they would go ?deaf? after fifth playing time, but I was wrong. During few months of usage they also did not rust. I don?t know if it is because of all this nanoweb coating or whatever. But this advantage of these strings make them at least for me winner of long-life strings. To be mentioned that these strings feels almost like ordinary ones. This coating as far as I mentioned also reduces a bit squeak sounds that fingers produce while changing positions.
Strings are quite durable and strong - even with hard picking I think it is hard to break even first string. Strings holds tuning quite well. Tension stays good all strings lifetime and strings not becoming flabby at the end.
I can?t say that these strings has some special color tone that differs them from plenty of other string like Rotosound have. They are simply good sounding strings.

Bought this particular guitar strings gauge for a naughty Danelectro baritone guitar, aiming to stoner rock music. Been a long time Elixir strings user. This newer formula with ultra thin coating and anti rust feels and sounds even more natural and classic as far as roundwound strings tones go.
This particular gauge let you maintain nice flexibility and crystal clear highs with the plain strings, while the wound strings give you thick rhythms and punchy power chords, but always with good definition and brilliance for a baritone, which actually manage to keep a classic rock guitar character, and not something else, like I found with other baritones before.
Seems resistent to corrosion just like it's supposed to be.
These Elixirs are your best bet as coated/anti just plain strings, in my opinion

Elexir have understood what musicians like me need. I've never found other strings that works this well for me. I mainly play on Gibson Les Pauls in C standard and these 012-068 gives me the perfect level of attack (well they could be a bit stiffer, but I bet they rock even more on regular scale lengths in the same tuning).

I play death thrash and don't want strings with weird tones in them, nor boomy attitude nor extra bright. Considering the music, its important to keep the high frequencies and the gain in check. But most importantly, you need that thick but well defined core in the tone and Elexir provides where others fail. Not for everyone probably, but if you play jazz or technical metal, these are it.

I've been an exclusive Elixir player for about 10 years now. Elixir truly has the greatest strings with the best sound that lasts. I've also loved baritone tunings, mostly using drop A or drop B. This set provides nothing more than that. This set however has one fatal flaw. It is the unwound .022 string. It is too big for an unwound string. They market it as "feeling the same as a normal set of strings" but the .022 sounds off thus far it actually stands out. If it were to be replaced with a .024/.026 wound string it would be way better. Amazing strings except for one terrible design flaw.

I´ve tested a lot of strings on my "not so often play" Ibanez (25,5" scale) to get the strong feeling with downtunings and a correct intonation(on my main axe i play the daddario xl157´s 14-68th.).
E.B. are to sloppy, Daddario´s are great, but the corrosion is to heavy for my second axe.
So i tryed the baritones from Elixir and my beast is still in tune, since one and a half year...only the part i scraped with the pick looking a lil´bit strange (the coating is getting away after a half year).
The string-feeling is very smooth and the coating is like silk on my hand.
For the customers, they whould try downtunes with normal feeling (the stringtension) the baritone ones are the perfect choice.
Only the Tunerhole can be a problem (some factory tuners have to small stringholes for the 68th string) and must be drilled out
