Review: A total game changer for sweaty hand players - If you are a sweaty handed ape like me, stop what you're doing right now and buy these strings. Every regular set of nickel strings I'd buy would be tarnished and dull within (no exaggeration) 2-3 days. I thought that was just the nature of guitar strings! Turns out it's just my sweaty hands causing strings to tarnish immediately. Even when I'd try wiping off the strings after playing they would still tarnish and dull so quickly. I've had my "new" guitar for a little over a year now and I came THIS CLOSE to spending $400 on a new set of pickups because I was so disappointed that they sounded so dull and muddy. I noticed that when I replaced the strings, the guitar would sound great for one, maybe two, days and then back to the muddy swamps. Well, I'm SO GLAD I gave these Elixirs a shot. They sound awesome and one week into restringing they're still bright and shiny and playing like new. Can't believe I waited this long. I can't recommend them enough. I've been teaching myself some old 70's hard rock solos that have crazy bends and have not managed to pop any strings yet, so extra bonus there. They seem durable. So happy with these. Buy them! Review: Always the best strings - If you haven't tried these, just grab a set and play. You won't regret it. I love elixir because I can use one set of strings for months without having to replace due to them getting hard to slide. Granted, they cost more, but they also always feel like a new set. Slides easy, but not too slick. Just give them a couple of days to break them in. The first couple of days the tone is a little shiny. After that, the sound is great. ## Features - 3-5 Times Extended Life of the Strings - Feel like Traditional Strings - The Original Coated String ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002E1NQE | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,350 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #21 in Electric Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Steel | | Brand | Elixir | | Brand Name | Elixir | | Coating Description | coated | | Color | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,536 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00733132120505 | | Included Components | 6 Electric Guitar Strings | | Instrument | Electric, Guitar | | Item Highlight | Light 10-46, Nickel Plated Steel with POLYWEB Technology, Longest-Lasting Warm Tone with Comfortable Feel | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.04 kg | | Manufacturer | W.L.

Anyone experience this after stringing up their guitar?** A: I'm assuming you put on same gauge strings for it not to be a problem before you restringed the guitar and it only one string in the middle where the neck meets the body I think it's your action and check intonation but that's weird only the d string 🀨 **Q: I don't know what went wrong. A string broke under a week after I put the polyweb mediums on. Why did this happen?** A: The only thing that I know of to cause that is over tension. Which I have done in the past by not realizing that I was tuning the string an octave higher that I should have. I don't remember which string it was but I had over tighten it while watching the tuner and tuned to the wrong octave. The string broke the next day, I ask a luthier what could have happened, he gave me the probable cause. When I replaced the string I was more careful tuning and realized that he was right I had over tighten the string. So that is something to consider as a possible cause. Since that happened a few years ago I have change many strings and never had it happen again. **Q: Why is this cheaper than nanoweb coating? Also is the coating poisonous in any way?** A: They last longer than nanoweb. I like them better ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A total game changer for sweaty hand players *by E***. on February 5, 2022* If you are a sweaty handed ape like me, stop what you're doing right now and buy these strings.
