a must have for guitar players
Who hasn't broke a string on their guitar? It happens all the time, so if you're in a live situation, or just don't want to change the other strings because they still sound great, the best is to have a good replacement around. These elixir singles are pretty good sounding and long lasting, so you can keep them in your guitar case for a long time without no problems, since they have an anti-corrosion coating.

Excellent Quality Strings, As Always!
I like to use quite thin gauges for the higher strings on my guitar because I like the twangier sound. However, my fingers and quite sensitive and I sometimes find that the thinner the strings are, they sharper they can be. Nothing puts you off picking up your guitar more than painful fingers caused by the strings themselves!
This is not the case with Elixir strings however. I know many people use them because they want a set of high quality, longer lasting strings, but I find that the coating not only lengthens the life of the higher strings, but prevents them from cutting into your fingers as much.
With thinner gauges there is a bit of a trade off with the coating because if your fingers are particularly sweaty, you might find your fingers slipping. This is easy enough to get used to though, and definitely worth it, considering the fact that these strings last 3-4 times longer than other brands.
The sound produced by these strings can be slightly difficult to get used to if you're new to them, so bear this in mind. I feel the coating slightly cuts the "twang" some people enjoy. I you're playing bluegrass or something similar, you might find they reduce the brightness and deaden your sound a bit.
Overall though, these strings are definitely worth the price I would recommend, as I'm sure many guitar players would, stocking up on a few extra low gauge strings just in case!

Perfect for aggresive sweat!
They sound awesome and they don't corrode as easily as other brands. The price may be a bit on the higher end but is definitely worth it if your sweat is rusting other brands in a week. Amazing in general

As usual, Elixir wins.
I broke my E string as I use Elixir 11 guages, and broke it while restringing the guitar with lesses quality locking tuners, and ordered this, put it on, and it is still on the guitar since Elixirs last forever.

Long lasting good value 11 gauge string
Bought this plain high e string for a custom strings gauge. Been a long time Elixir strings user. This newer formula with anti rust feels and sounds even more natural and classic as far as plain strings tones go. Seems resistent to corrosion just like it's supposed to be.
Good thing the possibility to buy single strings for your own gauge, also with these Elixirs, which are your best bet as coated/anti just plain strings, in my opinion.

My father wanted to make his own set for his guitar because he has a bit sensitive skin (has bunch of skin problems, not to mention developing arthritis).
He liked flatwound strings because they aren't hard on the fingers but he wanted to try something new and missed the sound of the roundwounds.
He was impressed with the quality (they were removed and put back on on the guitar, I think, 3 times) and loved the coated feel they had. He claims they are not hard on his fingers.
They are still on after almost a year of use. I'd say he plays around 5-10 hours per week. Not bad I say!
