Finaly at an affordable price!
I have a Taylor guitar and they fit these strings as standard to all their guitars. However as a gigging musician, I found them a little too expensive as they were costing between €14 & €17 per set. I play pub gigs about 6-8 times per week & play hard sometimes so I occasionally break strings. This made the cost a little prohibitive as opening a set to use 1 string leads to having to change the whole set when the gig is over making the benefit of the long life somewhat moot. They are excellent sounding strings and do stay cleaner & playable for longer than other brands.
I am delighted they put them in 3 packs at a more affordable price and would be happier if they put them in packs of 10. Also, if they reduced the price a little more then they would pick up way more customers like myself. Smaller margin but way bigger volume of sales. Almost all of my peers locally feel the same way. At the right price point I would think every guitar player would probably use these! They are worth €10 a set all day long!
Anyway, thank you Thomann for supplying at an affordable price!

Not cheap - but worth it in the long run
I have a collection of guitars, ranging from top of the line to quite cheap, I have been playing Pro & Semi-Pro since the 50's and over the years tried most brands, since coming across Elixir strings about 12 years ago - they are all I've used since.
Pros for Elixir are they outlast normal strings - so although they are initially more expensive to buy, I find they last 3-4 times as long as cheaper strings so work out better value in the long run.
Being coated - they cut back on squeak whilst playing - a bonus when recording and protect the string from sweat and dirt with the bonus that they sound good throughout their life!
Cons? well none really the only one would be they are expensive at first glance but as explained above, work out cheaper in the long run - so none (which is why I use them)

Perhaps the best strings you can find
Really, there's no question about it, I tried most string brands, nothing beats Elixir. Durability, sound, no rust, volume, they have it all. And with this package, the price is also amazing.

Elixir Nanoweb Light Phosphor Br 12/53
I've been playing for years, had dozens of acoustics over the years, and tried almost every string on the market. But always coming back to Elixir. It is simply the best string out there that can offer the best quality-price ratio and they last. Just have to love those!

Always getting 3 packs when i can!
2 boxes of these can last me up to a whole year, i use elixir nanoweb phosphor bronze on all my guitars, especially in live situations. They really are the longest lasting treated strings out there, great sound too!
I lately noticed Martins lifespan SP phpsphor bronze to be just as good or even better but i use martins for studio because they can`t last as much as elixirs, especially in live aggressive play.
I tried almost every string company out there tho, can`t replace elixirs nanoweb phosphor bronze.

Great strings, long lasting.
I use these strings on my main gigging guitar, doing around 5 shows a week.
I have had these on my guitar for two weeks now and they still sound great. I'm really pleased with them.
