A must buy for anyone who needs longer lasting strings
for the longest time, i played uncoated strings and wondered why i would only get a month at most out of them before they lost their tone, became corroded and most importantly lost their intonation. i tried many things, using products to try make them last longer, wiping my strings religiously after playing, trying different brands, but i still never got more than a month out of them. i picked up a set of optiwebs after hearing rave reviews about all the benefits these strings, and i have to say after playing these i dont think im going to switch back to regular strings any time soon. whereas the strings i used to play would be corroded within a month, i have a set of optiwebs on another guitar that still hasn't even lost its shine or its intonation yet in AT LEAST 2 months. you might argue the tone of elixirs isnt quite as good as an uncoated string, however, in my opinion the difference in tone is negligible. these have almost the exact same tone as an uncoated string with none of the issues that comes with them, especially if you're like me and you run through strings quickly. there has also been no issues with the coating fraying or peeling off over time. the only real negative of these strings is that if you were previously a long time user of uncoated strings, you might have a difficult time adjusting to the feel of them and adjusting your technique to them, even though this is very much a personal thing. the first day or two of trying these strings was a nightmare for me personally until i got used to them, however, once you get used to them they feel great. overall, i can't recommend these strings enough, especially if you're getting tired of constantly having to go out and buy new strings because they corrode in 3 weeks.

Really good if you have a problem with corrosion
For a long time, I was using Ernie ball strings I would change them properly once a week, but with these ones I’ve had a set on for almost a month and I’m only just thinking about changing them so yeah kind of crazy. Really good strings highly recommend.

Long-lasting and sound great.
As someone with sweaty hands I can't recommend Elixir strings enough. For me, normal strings go dead within a matter of days but Elixir strings last for months, sometimes even years. I'd been previously using Nanoweb strings for several years and whilst their longevity more than made up for their shortcomings, I did feel that they suffered from an overly slippery feeling and perhaps too bright a sound, but I think the Optiwebs mostly solve these issues. They feel more like normal strings when new and sound more balanced. For me, these are the best value and best performing strings out there when you consider their longevity.

Love these strings.
These strings are really good, the coating makes them super comfortable to slide up and down without destroying your fingers, and the new string crispiness also lasts forever. The only downside is now I can never enjoy playing any other guitars without these strings on 😭

Deserve their good reputation
Yeah, they're like twice the price of other strings, but they last about five times as long. To me, they feel fine and sound fine. If you're into jangly tones they might not quite do it for you

Must have for floating trem systems!
High quality strings with a long life and stellar tone. Have been a Slinky guy the whole 25 years of playing. Recently purchased a Double locking trem system, and didn't want strings that go dull after a few practices since setting up a floating bridge is fairly time consuming. These strings go a long long way. Only change them when one breaks. Even a new string when an older set matches tone once broken in, which only takes about a week so you don't need to change the whole every time a string breaks. More money up front saves you a bunch of money down the road with Elixirs. And the tone and feel is top notch! If you have a floating trem system I highly recommend using Elixir!

Cordes de uitare ELIXIR
Qualité prix bonne performence, ne resent pas le glissement des doigts sur les cordes lors de changement d'accord. Moins grosse que les 10 ceux -ci se bande très bien tout en prenant le bonne endroit rapidement Sur les trois cordes du bas on une sonorité. Tres fuide et cristaline. Longivité pas encore éprouvée.

En kaliteli tel
Şu ana kadar kullandığım en kaliteli tel markası Elixir. Ayrıca 3'lü takımların seri üretilmesi gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Böylece daha sık alınabilir. Son olarak kargo paketlemesine özen gösterilmeli

Worth the price
This 3 pack for the price of 2 is simply awesome. Will buy again here for the price alone.
