Description
Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with what experienced players worldwide say are the best acoustic guitar string on the market. Elixir Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Anti-Rust Plating protects the plain steel strings ensuring long-lasting tone for the entire set. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand's strings.
• Played for a warm and robust tone that sounds "played-in" but still retains a remarkably clear mid-range presence
• Fast, slick feel from POLYWEB® Technology allows you to quickly move around the fretboard with ease
• Exclusive technology protects against common corrosion and rust, sweaty acid hands and high humidity
• Long-lasting tone keeps your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session
Grab the perfect set - acoustic, electric, or bass - that fits the music you make and experience the difference!

Bought a used Takamine G Series from L&M this summer and put some new standard issue strings on it, but felt like I wanted more. Took a chance on Elixirs as an experiment and, WOW, what a difference. It's a whole new guitar, different sound, smooth feel, easy on the fingers, lovely to play. Worth a few shekels more for quality strings.

These strings last well, they are comfortable to play, and don't lose their coating very fast. They don't seem to have much of a coating, or maybe it's just that they don't lose very much of it at all, either way, they last very well, and are comfortable to play even at the heavier gauge. They sound good also, not overly bright, just kind of neutral.

I usually rush to give out great reviews since I get excellent service from the L&M team on Lajeunesse in Montreal. I've always used the NanoWeb in the past and used to change them on a monthly basis. So, I bought the PolyWeb thinking they would last longer as the coating is a little thicker. The first set was great and lasted over 3 months; they had lost their sustain and sharpness but not their coating. Then, the last 2 sets of PolyWeb strings were a nightmare. When stringing the guitar, I noticed that the "G" string looked more like a regular Bronze string. The coating flaked off within 2 days and the string itself became oxidized and sounded dead. Then the "B" and the high "E" did the same and sounded dead as well. Within a week I changed the whole set to a new one, then, when stringing the guitar I noticed the following: the "A" (10th to 15th fret), "D" (8th to 11th), "G" (1st to 17th) strings seemed to have been missing some coating. The coating were already flaked out at the specific fret numbers mentioned above. They didn't rust, but they became oxidized after the first guitar practice which involved a light picking song I was learning then. I've spent an overall $500 in Elixir strings in the past 2 years (for Acoustic and Electric) and I won't buy them ever again. I'll still shop at L&M and will buy a different brand of strings.

Played for 40 years and found the Elixir strings on a guitar for sale in London. It was a beautiful Taylor around $2500. The guitar was great but the feel and tone from the strings made me buy a set and they are hands down the best strings I have ever used.Make my old guitar ring like a new. Easy on the fingers and smooth slide action.

I have these strings on my Gibson J-45. No annoying string squeeks with these. They sound great and are all I use.

All I have to say is amazing strings. Very long lasting and keep tune very well. For 15 years I was using D'Addario, until a frind of mine recommended Elixr. I don't think I can ever go back.
For anyone who wanted to know about the difference between Polyweb and Nanoweb. Guitar strings are pretty much a wire, with another wire coiled around it. With Polyweb, the wire is coated and then wrapped and coated again. With Nanoweb, it's only coated once at the end of the coiling process. I find Polyweb to last much longer than Nanoweb.
