## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10
*by X***L on 21 September 2025*

I’ve been using elixir strings for years now and the quality is second to none! The durability and value for money is outstanding. Far better than coated strings from other brands

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must buy for anyone who needs longer lasting strings
*by C***N on 1 February 2020*

for the longest time, i played uncoated strings and wondered why i would only get a month at most out of them before they lost their tone, became corroded and most importantly lost their intonation. i tried many things, using products to try make them last longer, wiping my strings religiously after playing, trying different brands, but i still never got more than a month out of them.i picked up a set of optiwebs after hearing rave reviews about all the benefits these strings, and i have to say after playing these i dont think im going to switch back to regular strings any time soon. whereas the strings i used to play would be corroded within a month, i have a set of optiwebs on another guitar that still hasn't even lost its shine or its intonation yet in AT LEAST 2 months.you might argue the tone of elixirs isnt quite as good as an uncoated string, however, in my opinion the difference in tone is negligible. these have almost the exact same tone as an uncoated string with none of the issues that comes with them, especially if you're like me and you run through strings quickly. there has also been no issues with the coating fraying or peeling off over time.the only real negative of these strings is that if you were previously a long time user of uncoated strings, you might have a difficult time adjusting to the feel of them and adjusting your technique to them, even though this is very much a personal thing. the first day or two of trying these strings was a nightmare for me personally until i got used to them, however, once you get used to them they feel great. overall, i can't recommend these strings enough, especially if you're getting tired of constantly having to go out and buy new strings because they corrode in 3 weeks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ highly recommend
