Gauges: 12-16-24-32-42-53. Nanoweb coating permits strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings. Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years and deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play. Elixir Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone! Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Gauges: 12, 16, 24, 32, 42, 53

These are the best strings available, a great sound and sound. I'd recommend them to anyone.
 Great, but G string doesn't last August 5, 2008

I've played with elixir strings since they first came out. I love the sound and the fact that they stay new for a long, long time. But it seems like about a year ago my g string started breaking way too early. I usually leave the strings on for about 3 months, but the g string has started breaking after about 1 month, or sometimes earlier depending on how much I play my acoustic. It breaks at the saddle and I make sure there are no burrs and that it's set up right, but it keeps breaking. I've talked to several other players in the area that have stopped using elixir for the same reason. If Elixir will get this fixed, I'll come back, but until then, I go with D'Addario DXR.
Great sound, great response. May 30, 2008

Great sounding strings, but I don't suggest you get these if you play hard. My friend used my guitar for a show and asked what kind of strings I use. He said they were going to break. Elixir always breaks on him because he plays hard. Sure enough they broke. I play more lead type stuff and like to work the dynamics on the string/strum level as opposed to the amp/pedal level so the responsiveness of these strings are great for me.

These strings are awesome. They are longer lasting and sound great. br /I have one older guitar that has a muted sound with other strings I've tried. These strings bring out a better sound. br /

These strings are pretty amazing. I had gone many years without changing the strings on my guitar (they just held really well, and sounded great the whole time), but then a month or so ago I broke my G string (har har). I knew where I stood with electric guitar strings (which I break all the time), but I had never really had a reason to look into acoustic strings. I went to my friend, George, who is a local celebrity in the music scene, done a lot of recording, recorded two CD's which have sold very well for him, and who owns more and knows more about guitars than anyone I know, and he recommended these without missing a beat. I was annoyed by the price, but they have not disappointed in any respect. These strings are really easy on the fingers - very smooth and light. They are a little bright for my taste, but I think they'll warm up a bit as I break them in, and it might just be my guitar itself (which leans towards a lighter sound). I would recommend them to anyone who's not afraid to invest a little bit more in their strings. The cost has definitely been worth it, in my opinion.
