Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor

The Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor strings have garnered acclaim for their durability and exceptional tone. These strings are designed for guitarists who seek a balance between bright sound and long-lasting performance. In this review, we will explore the key benefits of the Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor strings and why they are a popular choice among musicians.

The Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor strings are celebrated for their extended lifespan, thanks to their advanced coating technology. This coating not only protects against corrosion and dirt but also maintains the strings' bright tone and smooth feel over time. The custom light gauge offers a comfortable playing experience with a perfect balance of flexibility and tension, making them ideal for a variety of playing styles. Additionally, these strings deliver a clear, resonant sound with well-defined lows, mids, and highs, enhancing the overall tonal quality of the guitar. Their ability to resist grime build-up and reduce the need for frequent changes makes them a practical choice for both live performances and studio sessions. Overall, the Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light Phosphor strings provide excellent value by combining durability, tonal clarity, and a comfortable playing experience.

These strings work just great for me. After years of experimenting with various brands, I always come back to Elixir. For the acoustic guitar it's definitely the best option - strings stay fresh and "sparkly" for a longer time, even if playing regularly, and the protective cover they put on the strings somehow feels very comfortable. When using a fast-fret for cleaning, these strings retain the "just changed" feeling for at least some weeks. I also enjoy the phosphor bronze string sound - it's a bit more "mid-rangey" than bright in the upper end, but IMO that's the sound an acoustic guitar should aim for anyway.

Only con would be the price - Elixir costs almost twice as much as some other OK acoustic strings, but since they also last twice as long, it's worth it, although, when on a budget, it makes a difference.

So I always really enjoyed playing my acoustic guitars, especially the Baton Rouge X54S/OM-CHB. The body is on the smaller side and I was looking for strings to that make it sound fuller and and just a little more "out there".
The strings did just that. The guitar sounds fuller and the strings play amazingly, not only for strumming but also for fingerpicking stuff and licks.
Although I feel like when using a pick a lot you tear of the coating(?) after many hours of playing. I looks weird but still sounds good for a long time.
Happy I was recommended these strings and will herewith recommend other trying them! Great stuff!

First time I was introduced to Elixir strings was when I got my Taylor BigBaby. I tried couple of other strings but for me Elixir Nanoweb feels the best. They sound bright but silky. I found them sit well in my mixes. They last long, I play all the time and change them every 6 month or so. All my Acoustic Guitars are equipped with K&K Sound 'Pure Mini' pick ups (which are great - please Thomann, have those on your offer!). I record 2 channels, one is Pure Mini and the other is Studio Project TB1 mic. Elixir Nanoweb 0.11 are just right for these setup.
I didn't like Polyweb version and my preference is 011 gauge.
