Yet another good Elixir string set
This set came to together with another Elixir set for baritone guitar - Elixir Nanoweb Baritone. Classic gauge 9-46 with signature Elixir brightness perfectly works on Strat-, Tele- or any other single coil type of guitars adding even more twang to your clean tone. This is first thing I enjoyed in this strings set.
The second surprise is crunch and drive effect - this set brings quite balanced tone. Not perfectly, but it is good to have a bit extra presence and pronunciation. In the mix or in live band situations you will be easily heard.
Same as set for baritone - these strings lives a long time. To be honest I find more profitably to get this set for its price than buy two sets of different strings. I really like how long they last. You may sacrifice something that you like in other strings tone but if you want to put one set that could live a long time - you probably should go with this Nanoweb series.
Signature Elixir coating also reduces a bit extra finger noise that fingers produce changing position on a fretboard.
Overall string quality is superb they hold tension very well during whole their life and no any flabbiness is noticeable even in drop-tuning moments. The one more thing I?ve noticed is that you do not need a lot of time to wait them to stretch when put new set on guitar. They don?t lose their tension so much at the beginning as well. These are put?n?play strings, I?d say.

A tone that lasts
I was very pleased the first time that I bought these. Comfortable tension so it's easy to play and that new string tone is of course the best part about these strings. Even when playing everyday the strings still felt new and sounded like new. Usually with new strings that tone wears off after just one day but Elixir strings maintained that tone for a much longer period of time. When I bought a bass which had Elixir strings on it, (I played it for only about 3 hours a week) and the strings still sounded new after like two months or more.
Definitely worth buying because the strings sound and feel new for a much longer time therefore they don't even need to be changed that frequently so it's not just the tone durability but you can also save some money from not buying new strings that frequently.

Taylor can't be wrong...
I use them on my Taylor 310 for studio recording only. I have a major issue with strings corrosion and Elixirs solved it... Taylor guitars use them as their stock strings. They can't be wrong... I tried other strings on my acoustic but i think they are the best. Full low and low mid tone and great hi mid and hi... All sparkling and for a long time... I change strings every 4-5 months.

Best String Brand
It's Elixir, they last long, sound great for months and don't get covered with junk immediately.
Using this gauge for E standard on both my 6 strings and 7 strings, both 25.5" and 26.5", works great. Light snappy high strings for solos accompanied by chunky low strings for tight rhythms. Exactly what I need!

Exlir Nanoweb Custom Light
Man, I love these Elixir strings. Especially this 009 - 046 custom set. I use them on all of my guitars and feel really comfortable with them.
I'm a vintage guy and was used to pure nickel strings by Ernie Ball or Gibson. A friend of mine had shown me these Elixir strings and at first I was a bit sceptical because of the coating around the strings. But all my worries were gone when I hit some chords with my SG into my Marshall for the first time. The sound is fat and clear. Every note has a really nice top end on it and this brilliance lasts extremely long. I have to change these strings maybe after four to five months and the best thing is: even after this long period, they don't feel dull or something. They play like on the first day. I don't need any GHS Fast Fret anylonger.
You will probably notice that Elixirs are a bit kinda "slippery" under your fingers in the first moment. You have to get used to it but then it makes it really easy to slide on your fretboard. Even when it's hot onstage and your fingers are sweaty.
I have found my favourite strings with Elixirs and don't need to experiment with other brands anylonger because their perfect.

Last significantly longer
These strings are great. They don't squeak as much as regular ones and have a little bit mellower tone. The tension feels pretty even across the strings, too. The most important thing is that they last much longer than uncoated strings. And I don't have to clean them after playing because the coating doesn't let grime and dirt to build up in the grooves so I have one thing less to worry about.

The best strings on the market..
Freaking love Elixirs. They are in my opinion the best strings on the market. For anyone that has acidic sweat, these strings rule!
I normally would need to change regular strings once a week.. These could get me through at-least two months worth of playing. Just to clarify, I practise between 2-6 hrs a day and gig/teach on a regular basis. Love these strings... will never use anything else.
