LOSTVENTURE Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've had great luck with Elixers on my acoustics, but have never tried them on any electrics. If you have, what was your experience like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have never tried elec. elixrs... I love the Nano WEB PB acoustic strings tho. Why not give em a try? The solution if you hate em is just go back to what you're used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOSTVENTURE Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks, my acoustic experience has been very positive. And your right about the reversibility. I just hate wasting $13 if I can avoid it. And I decided to try a set on my 339, with pretty satisfying results so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 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.

LongMan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
