Excellent
Excellent acoustic guitar strings with a bright, balanced tone and smooth feel. They stay sounding fresh much longer than most strings I’ve used, and the coating really helps reduce finger noise and wear. Great for both casual playing and regular practice sessions. Definitely worth the price.

Finest Strings Available
The best strings available. I work them hard 3 nights a week for gigs, and then again when I practice. They stay bright and loud. Sure, they're a little pricey, but trust me. They're worth it.

Good String
These strings last a long time. Easy on the fingers but I like the polyweb sound better.

WOW. JUST WOW... I wish i knew about these years ago. I feel like I've been missing out.
I have not played like i played after i got these stringed up in years. Just WOW. They sound beautiful. I payed for like 45 minutes straight, and i was in the zone like it i was on cocaine. They sounded THAT good. I prefer the lighter strings and the ease of playing them, but you loose a bit of the fullness of the sound with a lighter gauge. These 11-52's are pretty comfortable to play, and the nanoweb coating makes them very smooth and easier to play. They are bright, full, round, great sustain, and loud. Awesome Strings. Period. I am VERY Happy with them. I just can not get over the sound. I had a set of Martin 12-56's Phosphor Bronze on my Yamaha Acoustic before and i thought they sounded pretty darn good, but a little stiff and hard to play after playing my electrics most of the time. But these blow them away in sound and play-ability. I'm not saying Martin's are the best, but they're pretty good sounding, especially for the price. These are 3 times the price, but in my opinion, they just about sound 3 times as good. I read that a few people received sets that they believed to be fake. I grabbed my multi-meter and checked them when they arrived and the set i received did not cause the meter to read as "open". They do if you press really hard with the meter leads, but i don't think that is a totally accurate measure of legitimacy. If these are fakes, they are still worth the price, lol. I was hopeful because of the hype behind these, and since they are pretty dang spendy for a single set of strings. I hope that they last as long as they claim to last with the nanoweb coating. I just put them on like 2 hours ago. I had to write a review, just to share. I will totally buy these again, and i will be ordering a set for a buddy of mine. They are so nice that i have to share the beauty. I will update my review if anything changes. I really hope they last 3 times as long as a typically set, being 3 times the price. That is my only complaint.

Highly recommend these coated strings!
I’m a loyal user since 2005! These solved my sweaty hands killing guitar strings. The proprietary coating keeps the strings live and sounding great, even after a couple if months since new! I use these strings O.52-.0.11 on my vintage Martin D-41. They are lighter than the medium version and easier to play. I do a gentle but firm stretch of each string a couple of times to set them in the bridge and on the tuners, then tune. They stay in tune, take a lot of wear, but stay in tune, sounding great.

Kinda disappointed
Honestly they’re great strings. They feel and sound great, but unfortunately the g string snapped when I was tuning. I’m not sure if it’s something I did when changing the stings or if I just got a bad one. From the elixir website it costs $5 for a replacement string plus shipping so I’d rather just buy a whole new set.

Beautiful sounding strings.
Anyone that has a good guitar uses Elixir strings. Why? Because I say so!! Kidding, the strings sound so magical. It is hard to explain other than a beautiful ringing tones and not the boring dullness of other brands. We each have our favorites, but mine are Elixir for all my guitars.

Great feel! Great Sound
I’ve been a long time d’addario XL user and I decided to try these out. I read online that my Taylor in specific sounds great with elixirs. I don’t like change, but this is one I adapted to really quickly and genuinely enjoyed doing so. Putting on the strings is typical for any set that you buy, but it’s the texture of the strings and feel under your finger tips, along with the sustain and tone that really sold me about how unique the elixirs are. I’d recommend giving them a spin. They feel super durable for the price you are paying.

The best string ever.
Put it on any guitar and I guarantee, your guitar will sound way better than you could ever imagine it could. It produces a sweet sound with increased ease of playability. Good low with perect balance of mids and highs. But, the delivery time(a month!) to India is almost a deal breaker. The price is very high, though it might not be an issue if you are up to it. Be very careful with the thickness of the plectrum you'll be using as the first string is a bit fragile. I won't recommend anything higher than 0.72 mm thinkness for strumming.

El sonido que perdura en mi guitarra acústica
Como alguien que disfruta tocar la guitarra sin complicaciones técnicas, quiero compartir mi experiencia con las Cuerdas Elixir de guitarra acústica con recubrimiento NANOWEB. Estas cuerdas son como un abrazo musical para tu guitarra, y aquí te cuento por qué deberías considerarlas: Sonido que Perdura: Las Elixir Strings están hechas de bronce fosforado con un recubrimiento NANOWEB. ¿Qué significa eso? Básicamente, estas cuerdas resisten la corrosión y mantienen su tono durante mucho más tiempo. El recubrimiento NANOWEB también les da una sensación suave al tocar. No hay nada peor que cuerdas ásperas que lastiman los dedos, ¿verdad? Equilibrio Perfecto: El calibre ligero personalizado (.011-.052) es como el punto dulce de una tarta. No son demasiado gruesas ni demasiado delgadas, lo que las hace ideales para cualquier estilo de música. El bronce fosforado les da un tono cálido y brillante al mismo tiempo. ¡Es como tener un arcoíris de notas en tus manos! Fácil de Instalar: No necesitas ser un experto en cuerdas para ponerlas. Solo sigue las instrucciones básicas y estarás listo para tocar. Además, vienen en un paquete de 6 cuerdas, así que tendrás suficientes para reemplazar todas las de tu guitarra (y tal vez incluso algunas de las de tus amigos). Amadas por los Músicos: Elixir es la marca de cuerdas para guitarra acústica n.º 1 en Estados Unidos. Los músicos confían en ellas por su calidad y durabilidad. Si quieres que tu guitarra suene genial durante más tiempo, estas cuerdas son una excelente elección. En resumen, si buscas cuerdas que no solo suenen bien sino que también duren, las Cuerdas Elixir con recubrimiento NANOWEB son una inversión que vale la pena. 🎸🎶

Great strings
Love these strings, have used them for a few years on a couple different acoustic guitars. Nice feel, easy to play and great sound. They seem to last forever and stay in tune.

Probabilmente la cordiera per acustica 'definitiva'
Premesso che non sono un chitarrista acustico ma suono sempre l'elettrica (anche lì monto elixir nella versione optiweb 0.10-0.46) ho sempre usato montare cordiere elixir phosphor bronze 0.12 sulla mia acustica... Purtroppo quella cordiera mi risultava alquanto ostica e pesante sotto le mie dita (già di per se una cordiera 0.12 è bella tosta, poi nella versione elixir rivestita risulta essere ancora più ostica..) e probabilmente anche per questo motivo ho sempre trascurato la chitarra acustica. Così dopo aver dato una ripulita ed una rassettata alla mia acustica ho deciso di provare questa cordiera 0.11 e penso sia finalmente la cordiera definitiva! Il suono c'è tutto e la chitarra risuona che è un piacere ma con un feeling ed una suonabilità decisamente migliore per chi, come me, ha come strumento principale la chitarra elettrica! Diciamo che secondo gli specialisti de settore su una acustica andrebbe montata una cordiera 0.12 per offrire alla chitarra le vibrazioni sufficienti a farla risuonare come si deve... Tuttavia io penso di aver finalmente trovato la pace dei sensi e francamente non ho notato nessun calo di volume o di risonanza rispetto alla precedente cordiera 0.12 che ero solito montare. Certo il prezzo è decisamente più alto rispetto alle cordiere phosphor bronze non rivestite di altri marchi (che probabilmente sono anche più morbide e risonanti delle elixir..) ma elixir offre una durata decisamente superiore, soprattutto per chi come me soffre di elevata sudorazione, soprattutto quando fa molto caldo. Quindi a questo punto credo di aver trovato la scalatura ideale per i miei scopi e voto 5 stelle per questo prodotto che stra consiglio!
