Elixir 12102 Strings Electric Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Medium (.011-.049)

I swear by these strings. Have toured, practised, and recorded with them. Great sound, but the real win is that they last long. Years of gigging and I have yet to break a string during a show. They work quite well tuned lower (I play in open C#) without any rattle or buzzing.

Always great strings

These strings are by far better than any other brand I've ever tried. I tried them for the first time just because they came on the guitar I just bought. They never lost the brightness and harmonics. I changed them only because I had them for almost a year and thought I should. To my regret the new set of strings (Martin)I put did not sound as bright and alive as the old Elixir I just took off. Even though they cost twice as normal ones, they sound like new for more than twice the time. Therefore in my opinion better value for money (+ delays having to change the strings which is a task I feel is as necessary as it is boring)

This strings sound excellent. I wouldn’t buy any others. I play a lot and my strings used to get dull even within a week until I switched to these. They last a good while which makes them a real money saver. There is a bit of a learning curve if you aren’t used to coated strings because they can feel a little slick, but getting used to them doesn’t take long—just a a small adjustment of touch. They fit perfectly and play nicely.

Purchased for my hybrid electro-acoustic, great strings as the previous set have lasted a good five months. I don't gig but play my guitar most days so they get regular use. Very playable and even the 11-49s allow a few degrees of bend and are smooth to fret. I personally wouldn't fit anything else.

Fitted these strings to my Gretsch White Falcon and love the tone and especially the feel. Being a bigsby user I tend to avoid string changes as much as possible and these seem to last very well. I use Ernie Ball Slinkies on all my other guitars and always have been happy but on the Falcon these strings are a different class again. Will be using these for the foreseeable. 11 gauge on 25.5" scale are perfect and Bigsby tuning stability is excellent.

I have been using these strings on all my guitars since they hit the market, electric of acoustic, they are just great... They stay bright and full of tone for a stupid amount of time, they stretch in very easily, and hold their tune...... I don't think I shall ever buy a different type of string, same goes for everyone I know.... If your not sure, just try them, on amazon they are way cheaper than in the guitar shops also.

These strings are very vibrant and give a lot of extra punch to the tone of your guitar. I have used them before and rate them highly. They last a lot longer than other strings due to their coating. I use these strings on all my guitars and find them great value for the price. Yes you can get cheaper strings but you get what you pay for.
