Elixir Strings Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar w NANOWEB Coating, Extra Light (.010-.047)

Amazing strings as always.

If you crave for a brilliant sound on your acoustic guitar, seek no more. These will keep their beloved sound for a way longer time than uncoated strings. As for the feeling, if you haven't tried coated strings yet, give it a go. You'll figure out whether you like them or not. It feels slippery compared to regular strings, especially in the first few days. I do like it, but you have to try for yourself!

Good quality

dure snaren, maar ik heb ze op mn gitaar gezet en ik wil eigenlijk geen andere meer omdat ik elke dag gitaar speel en ander elke 2 weken snaren moet vervangen... wat een gedoe! Met deze snaren kan ik 3 maanden ongeveer toe. Dan zijn ze toch niet duur meer. En ze klinken een beetje anders, dat wel, maar ik heb het ervoor over.

I had a buddy tell me that I had to try these. He said that they easily last twice as long as normal strings, and they sound better the longer you play them. Turns out, he was right. The reason why is because the coating used to protect the strings does dull the sound a little bit. and you don't truly get a true feel for what they can sound like until they're really broken in. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Just don't change your strings right before a show. They do last twice as long, though, and even out-of-the-package, they sound better than most other strings I've tried. I typically used Martin strings before mostly because I felt that if Martin makes such awesome guitars, they must make Martin strings to go with them. The strings I usually purchased where the Martin Authentic Lifespan 2.0. I personally own two Taylors and a Takamine acoustic, and most folks know that Taylors come stock with Elixir strings. Personally, I think that's because it helps Taylor sell guitars. When I was playing the Martin next to the Taylor at the music store, I preferred the sound of the Taylor. It was strong in the mids, subdued but still bright in the highs, and they had a wonderfully subdued bass sound that you could feel more than you could hear. The Martin seemed more well rounded, but the Taylor stood out because it rang out much longer. I think it was the strings, and I didn't realize this until knowingly changing from my normal Martin strings to the Elixers on my guitars at home. Three guitars all produced superior results for different reasons. On my old Takamine workhorse, the Elixir strings produced a lot more sustain from a fairly weak sounding guitar. I was used to having to plug it in if I wanted people to be able to hear the guitar over my singing, and that became no longer necessary. On my Taylor Mini, the Elixirs greatly reduced the clinky sound strumming made, which was overwhelming with the Martin strings. This was the most noticeable difference. The Mini sounded really bad with the Martin strings by comparison. On my baby, though, that punch from the bass that you can feel more than you can hear has returned. It doesn't sound like it produces a very loud sound, but that sound carries a long way. I love singing with it. It's the only guitar of the three where I can actually hear the strings ring out loud enough to harmonize my voice with them, and I am truly in love with that feeling. I wasn't able to attain that nearly to the same degree with the Martin strings. The other thing that I want to point out is that these seem to be easier to tune, and they stay in tune. usually, when I first string a guitar, I like to strum around a little bit and then retune. I've been finding that with these strings, I don't have to. Plus, it's actually kind of strange if I pick it up and it's out of tune. I truly believe the strings have something to do with that.

Jag är jättenöjd. Plötsligt blev det roligt att spela igen. Kanske inte de billigaste strängarna, men de gav min gamla gitarr ett lyft, bättre än de billigare jag köpt tidigare.
