## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many weeks is the life about these ones? is this better d addario nyxl? i´m use ernie ball super slinky right now... worth the change?**
A: About 3 months, is the same quality as nyxl, worth the change

**Q: Excuse me, these are with 011 gauge, right?**
A: That is correct. These go from .011 to .049. Best, -Brian

**Q: what size strings would you guys recommend for a beginner that has no experience whatsoever with any kind of instrument Any answer I will appreciate**
A: The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

**Q: Would the heavy ones work good on a hollow body guitar?**
A: Yah, they should. Are you upping or changing gauge? If so the heavier gauge might throw off your guitar set up. I use the 11's or 12's in standard on everything from my tele to my acoustic, so they should sound and work well. Just make sure you're set up to handle whatever gauge you throw at it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Strings for my Electric Guitar.
*by A***N on March 24, 2026*

First time using this brand. I love these strings and will purchase them again the next time I need new strings. They sound great and are rust resistant so they will last longer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strings I have put on so far
*by M***J on August 8, 2026*

Slick and fast strings. Love the sound and feel of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is THE BEST set of electric guitar string
*by S***S on April 23, 2020*

I first used Elixir nanoweb super light almost a decade ago and I have never looked back. These strings last pretty much forever if all you are doing is playing normally, honestly I'm surprised Elixir makes money off of these when they last so long. I've never had these strings break on me while playing. Only time I would get a new set of strings would be when I have to take them off for changing hardware on my guitar or something. I've had a guitar with these strings on and stored it away for 4 years and I came back and the strings were in perfect condition. There are some incompetent reviewers saying these strings are bad because the string broke after they took it on and off multiple times. This is true for ANY METAL. If you bend metal over and over again, it will break. If these strings break, it's your own fault. I've never had this string break on me for no reason. These are THE best string in the world and everyone should use these.
