Elixir Nanoweb Light Acoustic

I know not everybody has issues with regular strings, and I know not everybody likes the sound of coated strings or the feel of coated strings, but for me, these are a life-saver (or rather, a moneysaver!). I first tried elixirs when they were brand new around 2004 and I haven't used anything since, when given a choice. I have several electrics and 2 acoustics (Taylor 214 and Gibson Dove) and all have elixir nano webs. Something about my sweat means ernie balls and D'addarios last no more than a few hours before starting to go black, and they feel "draggy" compared with the slippy-slidy elixirs. I can easily get 3 months out of a set if gigging weekly, or longer if it's not one of my main guitars. I won't use anything else.

As I mentioned in another product's review, I put a set of these on my mom's acoustic. She's been lazy to change them and still plays the acoustic semi-regularly, after I played it myself for a long time. The strings still hold and although they're not sounding quite as amazingly, they're not half bad.

When you get a new set of these in, they'll feel really comfortable and they'll sound rich and full. Also, and again, they'll last you a while. I imagine they're great for playing live, as they are quite durable. I would argue that you can keep a set of these up to 6 months sounding quite good, and certainly longer if you're on a budget (or lazy :D ).
