ElixirStrings 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Extra Light (.010-.047)

I have very sweaty hands which really run through a pack of strings in less than 2weeks depending on how often I play. I was using Martin's coated strings for awhile but I decided to give these a try and I'm very impressed. I swapped the strings 2024 June and it's still doing good without any rusting (currently January 2025). I know many of you guys are wondering why I haven't swapped my strings in so long and it's because I didn't feel the need to. I'm not a professional musician, nor do I perform in front of people. As long as it doesn't sound terrible, get out of tune often, or etc. I don't really change it.I usually play for maybe 15-30minutes every so often and I wipe down my strings after every use. I've done these for Martin's coated strings and they max lasted me maybe 1.5months before I started noticing rust here and there. This one, it doesn't get rusty and I bought it for less than 20 bucks. To me, that's a lot of value to get out of consumable goods. Yes, the tone isn't as great as uncoated strings, nor is it as great as when I first exchanged it. Honestly though, for a person like me, who does play the guitar just as a hobby, it's more than enough.

The Extra Light acoustic guitar strings by Elixir are easier on the fingertips, easier to bend, and hold up well. Do you sacrifice some intonation by going down two sizes from the original 12s that came on the guitar? probably. My daughter prefers these because she has small hands and with two young boys and a hard-working husband, she doesn't get that hour a day practice time like she used to. Very happy that Elixir Nanoweb coated acoustic guitar strings are available in Extra Lights and last!

Tone is very good. Nothing like a new set of strings on a guitar

I purchased a guitar for my daughter, and these strings so she could string it with quality strings. Elixir string are known for their quality

Sounds like a western movie with a deep growling tone to it. I really like to go of tune, just by ear, and play rhythms best I can. My first attempted took me to ancient Egypt.

Awesome

I’ve been using Elixir 6-string guitar strings for a few months now, and I’m truly impressed with the overall performance. As a musician, the quality of my strings is crucial to the sound and feel of my guitar, and these strings have exceeded my expectations in every way.Sound Quality: Right out of the package, these strings produce a bright, clear tone with great sustain. Whether I’m playing clean acoustic chords or rocking out on my electric guitar, the sound is consistent and rich. The clarity of each note is noticeably better than other strings I’ve used, and they hold their tone for a long time.Durability: The standout feature of Elixir strings is their durability. They last far longer than traditional strings without losing their crispness or becoming dull. I’ve been playing regularly, and the strings still feel fresh and responsive. The coating on the strings really helps protect against corrosion, dirt, and grime, which is a huge plus if you play often.

What can I say? In my book these are the best strings available. The tone is warm and brilliant.
