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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ elixir are the best strings in my 40+ years playing guitar - these ... *by P***N on 25 February 2016* elixir are the best strings in my 40+ years playing guitar - these solved several issues: 1.quality of sound of an ordinary uncoated strings goes down rapidly - but not with these - I had 0.13 gauge phosphor bronze strings on for almost 3 years - they never went muddy 2.I am not a pro and I don't have a guitar technician - so for me changing strings every week or two was up to me and I have 10 guitars 3.so I am buying about 3 packs a year instead of 20 - 30 4.it is a big time and money and hassle saver and that is why I've been using these strings for more than 15 years now...they sound great and for very long time the only complaint could be that they are not unbreakable....they do break exactly as any other strings, but because it is usually top E string,just get a few cheap spares and that's it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Strings, Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 10-46 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright and Focused Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/47907735-12052-strings-electric-guitar-strings-w-nanoweb-coating-light-010](https://www.desertcart.in/products/47907735-12052-strings-electric-guitar-strings-w-nanoweb-coating-light-010) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
