Review: 10/10 - 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.
Review: 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.

## Features

- Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
- Played for the same crisp tone as an uncoated string

- Our coating technology protects against common corrosion and debris buildup, extending tone life longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings (Elixir strings player survey)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work on a Martin acoustic/electric guitar?**
A: The Martin acoustic guitar owners I know, all use Martin strings.
 The Elixir. 9/42 coated strings work great on my Stratocaster and they last much longer than other brands.

**Q: Is the 3rd string wound?**
A: Not in the.009 Guage set, but I can't attest to the heavier sets of Elixir's, some brands may indicate a wound 3rd...

**Q: Can you use these with locking tuner keys?**
A: Absolutely. Even easier and faster string changes.

**Q: Is the coating a different material than the polyweb and nanoweb? Or is it the same material, just thinner?**
A: I think it's thinner, at least it feels thinner...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality strings!
*by M***T on October 5, 2025*

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.
