Buy this if you're sweating

Berci 18.08.2019

I've got that Alien sweat that eats itself through the ground and I'm sweating like a whore in church even with the AC running like Usain Bolt chased by Death. Usually I change strings every 2 weeks after 2-4hrs/day of playing. I've put on some Elixir strings almost 3 months ago and maybe, just maybe I'm starting to see some discoloring here and there. The sound is still that new, fresh, metallic one that we all like. I was really sceptic at first to pay this much for strings and to be honest, my bs snake oil detector goes off when I hear toothpaste/washing powder buzzwords like 'Nanoweb' or 'Optiweb'. I have to doubts any longer. If Elixir were about to start a cult on a remote island, I'd join them with my family.

Best I’ve tried so far

pestibo 18.01.2022

I don’t really play gigs and I don’t like changing strings so these are perfect for me. Absolutely no rust whatsoever not even after weeks and weeks of use. Even months despite my sweaty hands. I put these on and with minimal maintenence I have my guitar ready at all times. Smooth feel and great sound as well. If you get sticky strings and rust after a few days of use, these strings will solve yout problem

Elixirs are magical - especially if you have a lot of guitars

MoDizzle 12.08.2022

I love elixir strings, no string noise, great feel and they stay snappy sounding for about 18 months. I wear through strings quickly but elixirs last for ages, I find that it takes about 12 months before the goretex starts peeling and then i replace them. It's great because they sound exactly the same from new until the peeling goes. I have a lot of guitars and its nice that if i dont play a guitar for a few weeks/months, when i pick it up it still sounds fresh.

I was looking for a sparkling sound as my past experience with the other coating of the elixir was not really good (the sound was somewhat darker). This one is not having these issues. I cannot really tell the difference with a non-coated set. Plus the durability on top. Will surely use them again.

My Go-to C Drop Strings

whenkubrickmeetshendrix 08.09.2025

I use this set of strings with my Viper ltd-1000 with emg 57/66s and unlike some tone purists, I really enjoy the feel and sound of these strings. (Maybe I use them more for heavy music.) I tried the xt coated series from d’addario (I know, they market them as lightly coated for the sake of tone etc.), and they’re cool but tend to wear just a bit better than regulars. So I’d put my money on nyxl if I went with d’addario with my lp. Anyway, whenever I go with drop C tuning, I lean toward elixirs. Besides, if you have several guitars, they’re a huge money saver too.

The best!

avokado64 30.04.2025

They are more expensive than other strings, but they last a long time. On one of my guitars(that I play often) I haven't change them out for three years now, and they still sound great. It is really worth it if you have multiple guitars. Can't imagine switching to anything else.

Great bright sound!

rawbaw 07.07.2022

Lovely strings with a nice, bright sound

Life is good and don't take a long time to rust, I break them fairly often but I think that's more down to my guitar and playing style than the strings

Been using these for a whle now, not as bright as normal strings, they don't have the slippery cover that other elixir strings have but still hold their own for about a month of gigging or so. Very recommended.

I can use no other strings anymore

@Tommi_Jazz 01.02.2021

I have really sweaty hands. Any other set of strings die within 1,5 - 2 hours of playing. Elixir strings last for days.
I do recomend them for the clarity of sound, and sustainability.
