Elixir Strings Electric Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Medium (.011-.049)
Amp up your guitar’s tone life with the same premium electric 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. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of electric guitar strings with our original POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone. 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 tried d’addario nickel wound, and the differences I found were that the D’addario were a little more transparent on the high strings, and the low strings were a bit dull sounding, but still clear enough to hear the sound of the guitar & pickups. I really liked them,…
I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years now and I know how to string a guitar.. I’m also an engineer so I know how to recognize poor quality.. Elixr used to be great – would get 3 months before any breakage occurs, but they definitely changed something in the last few years (or got greedy) high E and B ALWAYS break close to the bridge and within a few days of each other..I actually e-mailed them about this (~1 year ago?) they sent replacements but still no correction to the…
I love Elixir’s Nanoweb strings because they seemingly last forever without rusting or getting worn too quickly. As far as I can tell the tone of my Les Paul hasn’t suffered at all, either. They also had the unexpected effect of the outer-wound strings (D, A, and low E) not feeling so rough – fret noises were reduced when I slide around the neck, and I welcome it. The coating doesn’t seem to affect vibration and my guitar sounds just like it did with the cheaper strings, only now I don’t have…
