Elixers on a Sheraton


LOSTVENTURE

Recommended Posts

been using XL110s for so long now, I can't remember a time when I didn't.

 

I may try a set myself. The acoustic strings IMO are among the best you can use. (Still very much a personal choice matter)

 

let us know how you get on with them in a few weeks.

I'm using Elixier Nanoweb in 0.10-0.46 gauge for over ten years now.

My experience is very positive, especially on Gibson/Epiphone guitars with 24,75" scale.. New the Elixier Nanowebs do sound a tad less bright than some uncoated strings (e.g. Gibson Bright Wires). On the other hand they hold that sound for weeks, not just a couple of hours like uncoated strings. And honestly I have to say that I prefer the sound of the Elixiers over brand new uncoated string.

 

Some people dislike the slightly slippery or "greasy" feel of the Elixier Nanowebs. For those the new Elixier Optiweb may be an option. They do feel more like uncoated strings, but still should last similar to Nanowebs. I have no long time experience with the Optiweb strings though. Bought a couple of sets recently to try them out, but so far only one of my guitars needed a string change.
