Great strings

Alexey N. 26.03.2016

Pros:
-Corrosion-resistant, indeed. My sweat can destroy some other strings, even those, which also advertised as "corrosion-resistant". But these will last forever without any sign of tarnishing. I used these sets for 3 month max, though.
-Great high-gain tone, and long-lasting as well.
-Consistent quality. Never had an issue with them.
-Perfect gauges for drop C on 25.5" scale (if you'll use .56 as a sixth string and don't use .46 at all). Might as well work for other drop tunings on other scale length guitars.

Cons:
-Price
-I personally don't like the clean tone of these, it's too bright and rattly. Not like fret buzz rattly, but on their own. I'm talking about wound strings, plain ones are fine.

Even though these aren't completely perfect for me, I highly recommend to try these at least once, you might find your favorite strings!

I've used Elixirs for over 10 years now.

The tone of the strings is very good, being lively and present, and most importantly, consistently so over the lifetime of the string.

The string life is simply exceptional, with a set usually lasting me several months with regular play.

The string feel is also an important factor, with the wound strings being smoother in feel, and producing less finger noise than non-coated strings.

The only real downside is that if you pick hard, the coating will peel and fray in the section of string in which you pick. This can lead to a case of "dandruff", where little flecks of coating will break off and gather on the guitar between the pickups. It's irritating, but I make sure to wipe the guitar down after playing. Since this area of string is not one I typically touch with my fingers, it's probably not the end of the world the coating strips here; the strings still maintain fresh tone even when this area becomes frayed and worn. I'm willing to put up with this inconvenience due everything else being overwhelmingly positive.

An excellent set of coated strings

AnttiM 06.10.2014

It has been years since I made the switch to coated strings and I have no regrets.
I was getting really annoyed with normal electric guitar strings, those nickel plated ones just don't last in my use. But these Elixir coated strings are a whole different thing, they last for ages and still sound as good as new - Deep lows and brilliant highs.

Now about this particular set "made for" 7 string guitars.
I use this set on a normal 25,5" scale six string guitar which I tune to C Standard.
So I'm only using the following gauges: 013-017-026-036-046-056. I have no use for the 010 gauge string. This setup works really well, although the low string could be a little more beefier - something like 058 or even 059.

I haven't tried this set with a seven string, but since I find the low string a tad too loose in C I'd bet that the low B is a little too much on the floppy side. Of course this is a matter of personal preference and this is only my opinion.
Nevertheless these strings are almost perfect and I recommend them for everyone to atleast try out once.

Quality over sound

AndreiAlin 03.11.2020

These cost more than most other strings but last a long, long time. I hate changing strings so I love these because they last at least 3 times longer than anything else I've tried. Since they last 3x longer, they're really not that much more expensive than cheap strings.
The sound is not that bad but i prefer more the Ernie because of the mid range clarity.
