Long Lasting and Reliable
Vanishing 25.02.2022
Good strings. I haven't used coated strings in the past and wanted to try them out.

No blackening or corrosion after using them most days for practise for the last 3 weeks.

They have a slightly different feel to uncoated strings, you can feel the coating but it isn't distracting once you play a little and get used to it. Almost like a softer feel but the strings still had a good sound and didn't seem noticeable darker.

Overall the extra cost I paid over my usual standard Ernie Balls has been worth it in terms of longevity so I'm happy with the strings. I would probably buy them again and have no complaints about the quality.

I'll never go back to uncoated
DimitrisL 22.12.2021
First pack of coated strings I tried and I have to say they more than met my expectations.
Last pair lasted me about 7 months during which there was regular playing of an average 2 hours per day.
They kept their tone and response way longer than regular uncoated strings (about 7 times longer) and even by the end of the 7th month, while not retaining their initial brightness and tone, they didn't show any signs of wear and use.
Definitely recommend to give them a try.

Elixirs are the most pleasant, longest lastings strings on the market. They feel crisp even after a couple of months of use. Reliable and sounding great!

for seasonal players, probably the best choice you can go
tava 26.05.2021
For a period of time, I have played very little guitar and left it aside gathering dust on the gigbag. After at least 5 months, the guitar strings still felt "fresh," highly playable and sounding as described.
However, you must put into consideration that after a prolonged time of playing them, the clear coat wears off and become good old quality strings. Im a big fan of these and feel really great for my playing and guitars. I was heavily sceptical for them at first, but instead pleasently surprised by the feel and sound it produced.

Warmly reccomending them to seasonal players, or people that dont wish to change guitar strings every time they decide to pick up that specific guitar again.

This was a big surprise!
CABM77 30.05.2021
I've used most brands of guitar strings over the years and somehow always ended up with D'Addario.
Elixir strings were mentioned to me several times, but for no specific reason, I never gave them a try. Until now.
What a difference! Clarity, tone, the touch, how long they last...
I'm converted. Well worth the price.

High quality and nice feel
rubber_duck 20.02.2022
First time getting coated strings, I like the feel using 2 sets for over 2 months on two separate guitars, one is played daily, still showing very slight signs of wear, for my use case (mostly playing at home) I'd say it's worth it just to avoid having to change strings often.

Oddly enough, these are ideal strings if you don’t play very often and the guitar is kept idle for a long time. if you buy such strings and install them. then in a month the sound will be like new. if you buy other good strings. then they just standing on the guitar will lose the brightness of the sound even if they don’t play. and these strings sound like new even after a year.

but if you play a lot and constantly. then the spraying deteriorates at the point of contact with the mediator. and a little fluffy.

What you need to play the guitar!
Furat 11.10.2021
Put Elixir on my guitar. I didn’t even imagine that you can play the guitar with such pleasure. Before this event, I wanted to buy another guitar. Now I changed my mind, now I think the old one is also good; D
Before Elixir I tried all sorts of Fender, GHS, Rotosound, Dean Markley.
No strings were so enjoyable. Great strings! What you need to play the guitar!
