## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use these strings for an electro acoustic guitar**
A: I haven't heard of anyone using Electric Strings on Electro-Acoustic guitar - regular Acoustic stringing is what I hear and know of and they work well. My knowledge is  however, that there are manufacturers who do make custom strings for E-A guitars, I just don't know of anyone using them.

**Q: being using polywebs for years, and they last forever!, are these as good as promised? are the plain strings treated as well?**
A: HI mateI haven't used polywebs,  they ' re supposed to be warmer sounded than these. I use elixir mostly on my practice /rehearsal guitar where tone is not the first priority and they do seem to last. Don't know if I'd use them for recording,  at least for clean tones after a whileHope I helped!

**Q: what are the individual gauge of each string 011 - - - - 54  ?**
A: there is no 11-54 gauge elixir set.

11-49 = 11 14 18 28 38 49

Ernie ball make a Beefy Slinky set which is 11-54 
11 15 22p 30 42 54

**Q: Are the 10-56 really 56 at thickest one? Because picture says 10-46**
A: I use Elixir 9/42 and 10/46 electric guitar strings for their bright, long-lasting tone, on my 6 string guitars.. The 10/56 guitar strings are only suitable for 7-string guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by F***. on 28 December 2025*

Look good sounds good easy to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stringy
*by S***M on 4 September 2014*

I've been using Elixir strings exclusively for just over a year now, so I think I now have enough experience with them to write an accurate review. Here are some of the benefits I've found: - Longevity (obviously) and reliability: for me, Ernie Balls need to be changed every 4 days or so. D'Addarios are a bit better at around once per week. With the Elixirs I generally only have to change them once per month, and even then they don't lose their tone as much as other strings do, they tend to just get a little 'dull' sounding after that point. Its also worth mentioning that they stay in tune well and they don't corrode like uncoated strings. - Playability: these strings have a slippery feel to them that doesn't really go away. I love this because I feel it gives me better mobility, but if you're not used to it, it might cause you to 'overshoot' your slides. This could be contentious so bear it in mind. - Sound: I've heard criticisms levelled at the sound quality of Elixir strings before, which is why I was initially hesitant to try them. Honestly though, I think they're the best sounding stings I've used; they have a very balanced, clear tone that I really like. Every string outputs the same volume, which is something I don't feel I get with the other brands I've used (though obviously this depends on your pickups). I know that what I've written here sounds more like an advertisement than a review, and I DO usually try to keep my reviews as balanced as possible, but I honestly can't think of anything negative to say here.
