What I've been waiting for so long
Igor Sedov 12.01.2018
In this box, each string is in individual paper packaging. In total in the overall packing of 18 strings, without grouping of 6 strings. 3 strings in a winding (and accordingly with a covering), 3 strings without a winding.
The first sensations when playing them - is this exactly Elixir? This is a step forward! Strings are felt like metal, there is only a slight feeling that they are stroked. But maybe it's just because you know it's an Elixir :)
They are adjusted quickly, the tuning is kept perfectly. They sound bright, I did not hear the difference with Daddario EXL, I did not listen in detail, pulled Elixirs on Gibson SGJ 2014 and was satisfied.
How long will these strings last, so far I can not say, yet it's still a novelty. If 1 package of 3 sets is enough for a year, with a constant sound quality, then I will switch to them.

Not transparent enough
Ram S 16.01.2024
I fiddled around with Elixirs a few times and wasn't able to form a solid opinion until I decided at a certain point to use them on all my guitars, obviously because of their long life. We all know what coated strings are good at but I decided to question the aspects they are known to be bad at. It didn't take me long, however, to realize all the guitars started to sound very close to each other no matter how different they are. For someone who's into vintage guitar tone, I feel they do not have enough transparency to deliver the natural tone of the guitar. They do color the sound of a guitar and reduce its dynamic range to a certain extent. I immediately restringed all those guitars with a non-coated D'Addarios and there we go, every guitar sounds like itself now.

For years i used 0.11 gauge..Elixirs and Thomastiks were my favorites...
A few weeks ago i bought the Harley Benton TE-52 guitar. It came with 0.09 gauge....and..i kinda liked that..bending the strings was easy and the sound was ok....some time later however, after a lot of playing, i did find them a thatch too thin...so i ordered these Optiweb 0.10's from Elixir...they are PERFECT!.....Wow!...i'm gonna put them on all mij e-guitars...feels fantastic and sound excellent! love'm...and the 3P deal makes them even more attractive price-wise...

My favourite string set in one box
AlexandrosM 24.11.2025
I am using Elixir strings for many years and since I have many guitars it's a one way road so I don't have to change strings often. I prefer optiweb since they give me the closest feel to uncoated strings. They feel natural at hand and the sound is on the bright side of spectrum but not as bright as the uncoated. With an initial stretch, they settle relatively fast after restringing. I have a light touch so I have never seen my strings fray. For guitars with higher output pickups I put nanowebs. I suggest this set if you like coated strings with normal feel!
