These are the best quality strings I’ve ever used. Other brands’ strings usually start to corrode after 2 weeks of use. These strings don’t even show wear until a couple of months of use. They have a great sound and they feel great.

Best strings I've ever purchased
I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

Quality strings!
Some of the best string out there! I was turned onto these after I started playing and rehearsing live 12hrs-15hrs a week. I was using just whatever, and I noticed my strings would loose top end and deaden within 1-2 months with Earnie Ball. I like the cheaper strings for replacement and if playing gigs that require fresh strings nightly. But for most players that want strings that’ll last 6-8 months…these are the strings. They won’t always get that much, but sound wise when that do last long they sound crisp still. Great for recording and busy gig months. Just pack some cheap ones for spares. Although string breakage has been rare for me with Elixrs.

Play Hard
The string tone is clear. Playability is smooth. Strings wipe down increasing life. Price is reasonable and worth the investment!

Good quality guitar strings
Wonderful strings that are easy to play with and use. My fingers no longer hurt using them when fretting notes, which I enjoy. Setting up the strings is risky as always, but honestly they have lasted me a while so far. Highly recommend for durable guitar strings

Great feel and tone.
Great strings that sound nice and crisp and last a long time. They feel slick and stay in tune. I use these thick stings gauges as I tune to D standard tuning on all my guitars. I uses these on my PRS custom 24 10 tops and all my Gibson Custom Les Pauls. I even use them in my custom fender strat. Would definitely recommend trying these out.
