Longest-lasting tone night after night. No more endless tunings or inconvenient string changes. You can trust Elixir Strings to deliver premium guitar strings with bright tones and just-right feel.

Review: 10/10 - These are the best quality strings I’ve ever used. Other brands’ strings usually start to corrode after 2 weeks of use. These strings don’t even show wear until a couple of months of use. They have a great sound and they feel great.
Review: Best strings I've ever purchased - I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: At what point on the size scale does the 3-string (G) become a wound string?  Individual string dimension should be stated in the specs.**
A: Usually a wound 3rd is clearly stated on strings packaging, as that is a salient feature. You will find this often in electric sets 12-52, usually labelled "Heavy" or "Jazz." In most cases the wound G string starts at .021 or .022, but I've seen sets that wind the g at .018-.019. I know this is more general info and not related to Elixir, but I'm guessing it applies to their strings, too.

**Q: Are the unwound strings coated with the same material as the wound strings? Also, is the G string wrapped in 9-42 sets?**
A: The plain strings are treated with an anti-rust coating thats different from the nanoweb wrap or the other strings.  The 3rd is plain steel in the 9-42.

**Q: Why does this 3 pack cost $70 when a single pack is $13? Does this have something extra?**
A: Don’t buy it.

**Q: Would these be okay for a Harmony acoustic electric guitar and what gauge strings?**
A: Typically for an acoustic guitar you want acoustic strings, commonly phosphor bronze. These are for an electric guitar and have an unwound fourth string. They can be used in any guitar if you choose. I would suggest 11's on the light and up to 13's. I typically use 12's in my acoustic guitars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strings I've ever purchased

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for floating trem systems!
*by A***R on February 9, 2025*

High quality strings with a long life and stellar tone. Have been a Slinky guy the whole 25 years of playing. Recently purchased a Double locking trem system, and didn't want strings that go dull after a few practices since setting up a floating bridge is fairly time consuming. These strings go a long long way. Only change them when one breaks. Even a new string when an older set matches tone once broken in, which only takes about a week so you don't need to change the whole every time a string breaks. More money up front saves you a bunch of money down the road with Elixirs. And the tone and feel is top notch! If you have a floating trem system I highly recommend using Elixir!
