JedMarum Guitar Strings: Elixir rant - THEY STINK! (139* d) RE: Guitar Strings: Elixir rant - THEY STINK! 25 Feb 12

I found Elixers to be difficult when I first started using them. I just didn't like the feel. They sounded good but not great. Then I discovered the nanoweb version of Elxiers. I still wish I could use Newtone Masterclass strings year round ... but I live in very hot and frequently wet climate. So for most of the year I HAVE to use coated strings.

I make my living performing and I play many hours each week. I string my two guitars with Elxiers most of the year. I have done so for 12 years. I do so because they do NOT break much and they sound good for a long time.

Using uncoated strings I can a week of life, maybe two - but with Elixers I can get 6 or even 8 weeks. There is no contest for me. Elixers are the best choice.

I do try others from time to time, but Elixers are the best I've found , all things considered.
