Your cart is empty.Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any Other string available. Unlike Other string brands, Elixir strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in Other Brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, The ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. The HD light Gauge option you're looking at now, originally developed with Taylor guitars for their Grand concert and Grand Auditorium models, is an expertly unique set of gauges for all sorts of guitars, exuding a balanced voice across the strings that's bold and articulate on the high end without sacrificing a rich, full low end. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the Other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir strings: great tone. Long life.

I have used Elixir for years and years. I will say that I have not had great success with the polyweb as I've broken a few strings. But the nanoweb have been quality for me.I like the length of string life and also the bright sound.They are easy to slide fingers up and down the fretboard as well.If you haven't tried these for acoustic, put it on your list to give a chance!

I live in a tropical country that normally reports 80% humidity and ABOVE throughout the year. Add some sun and you got that lovely and uncomfortable stickiness that nobody enjoys. With that, regular guitar strings don't last. Whether you are inland or at the beach, regular guitar strings will rust and snap.I met a musician who had been living here for years, who represents a major video game producer as a composer, who showed me his guitar and the first thing I noticed was his strings were SHINY. They looked brand-freakin'-new. And I commented: "You just restrung your guitar?"He said no! He restrung his guitar like a year prior!! But how?! "Elixir's, man. That's the secret." Subsequently, he played a nice guitar solo.I did my homework and got these strings in October, not expecting much. It's the last half of JULY and my strings still look freakin' new! They sound great, they play great. They feel slick on the fingers, which has it's pros and cons. Less string squeak, more grip needed when string bending. They don't gunk up and feel sticky after a gross accumulation of finger funk. Win-win-win in my books.Overall they are amazing.I got the phosphor bronze Elixirs for my 6 string acoustic, which sounds amazing; same for my 12 string acoustic, which also sounds incredible; and I have another Elixir pack (nickel plated steels) on the way for my 12 string electric (which feels unheard of).These strings will definitely not last forever, but they will extend the life of your strings by a LOT. I like to play for many hours along the week, sometimes investing several hours in playing per day. I don't "shred", but I don't believe I play "soft".These strings will last a long while, as long as you don't play with a cutting edge (i.e. fingernails or freshly stamped pick which edges haven't been sanded/filed) because once the thin plastic is exposed, these strings will lose their magic.

After years of trying various string types/gauges, I eventually became an "Elixir" guy. The tone, feel, and life to me makes them well worth the price. I use them on my Martin's (D28, 000-28ec, and 000-15m), as well as my Taylor 614ec.**Now for these specif "HD PB Lights". I typically play fingerstyle blues and folk, and rarely use a pick anymore. That said, these are "13s" as opposed to the Elixir PB Lights which are "12s". I prefer the standard lights over the HD lights as they are much easier for bends and just not as much tire on the fingers due to the lighter gauge. I also prefer the little bit more ring and sustain that you get from the standard lights. That said, the HD lights have a great tone and would be a great alternative to the mediums for flatpicking if you want a little more flexibility if you occasionally fingerpick.Conclusion: I have the Elixir PB lights on my shorter scale, fingerstyle guitars and use the HD Lights on my dreads.Happy picking!

These strings are truly incredible - I put them on my Martin OM-28 and, for the first time, hear every note ring out in a chord along with overtones. They immediately make my guitar sound clear and warm - and quite frankly, like an even better instrument.We'll see how they hold up and stay in tune, but based on the reviews, I'm inclined to believe these are worth the hype and the extra $. Very impressive.

Als Gitarrenanfänger musste ich mich hier auf die feedbacks verlassen und ich muss sagen, dass ich mehr als begeistert bin. Da ich eher den rockigen sound mag sind diese Saiten wirklich sehr gut...Klang und Ton hell und klar. Die Saiten schneiden auch nicht in die Fingerkuppen und ermöglichen somit längeres Spielen. Ich glaube ich habe "meine Saiten" gefunden. Der Preis ist schon etwas höher, aber das hielt mich nicht davon ab 5* zu vergeben.

Very expensive. Have a horrible metallic tone. I did not like the strings. Also very hard on the fingers.

Premetto che monto queste corde su una Grand Auditorium Abete Adirondack/Mogano, tutta solida, una chitarra per intenderci simile alla Taylor 314 CE. Quindi la tipologia di strumento per cui sono pensate.Di sicuro sono corde di livello superiore, molto aperte, chiare o argentine che dir si voglia.Durano anche un anno se non avete problemi di sudorazione acida e se avete l'accortezza di passare un panno asciutto quando si ripone la chitarra. Ovviamente è una cosa soggettiva ma sono le corde che durano di più fra tutte quelle che ho provato (mi riferisco alle avvolte).La scalatura non risulta molto più dura di una standard 0.12/0.53, una differenza l'avverto se le confronto con l'altra muta che di solito uso, ovvero le D'Addario EXP-16, simili nella concezione (corde avvolte in fosforo bronzo). Rispetto alle Elixir trovo le D'Addario più equilibrate, con i bassi ben in evidenza. Le Elixir sono più squillanti sui cantini, i bassi sono un passo indietro. Entrambe sono ottime, dipende dallo strumento e dalle preferenze personali, in pratica. Le Elixir durano di più delle D'Addario dove a volte mi è capitato che il Mi grave, la sesta corda, diventi semi-muta dopo un mesetto.I miei voti (opinabilissimi visto che riguardano la mia esperienza personale sui miei strumenti):ELIXIR HD LightDurata: 5/5Suono generale: 4.5/5Alti: 5/5Bassi: 4/5Morbidezza al tatto: 4.5/5D'ADDARIO EXP-16Durata: 4/5Suono generale: 5/5Alti: 5/5Bassi: 5/5Morbidezza al tatto: 5/5

Die Saiten klingen sehr lange sehr gut und haben eine gute Ausgewogenheit zwischen Wärme und Brillianz/Höhen.
