There is a cabal of string manufacturers whose members are so scared of Elixir strings that they infest guitar forums and make absurd claims about how Elixirs either break, or cause your fingers to break out in an allergic reaction.

These ridiculous assertions are, of course, hogwash.

Elixirs are better than uncoated strings. It's not even a contest.

Don't let guerilla marketing techniques put you off trying these state of the art strings. I'll never go back to uncoated strings.
