D'Addario EJ51 Pro-Arte Semi Polished Basses Hard Tension Classical Guitar Strings Review

I love the E A and D strings in this set. Because they are pollished they are the only ones that I have found that don't give me that annoying finger noise as I slide my hand along the neck. Interesting story: When I took my new guitar back to the guy who made it for a checkup the only change he made was to remove the strings I had put on and put these on instead! The long and the short of it is I either have to use these strings or hide the guitar from Val (the guy who made it).
My one complaint is that the G string is wimpy. I usually replace it with another brand that has more power. Right now I have a Savarez plastic wound on nylon high tension (red card) G string. Its noticably louder than the D'Addario G string.

Elixir Strings Electric Guitar Strings, 6-String, Light NANOWEB Coating Review

These are the best strings ever. I've tried almost every string on the market, and these are by far my favorite. They sound great and last forever. Believe the hype...they really DO last FAR longer than any other strings, and they sound great while doing it.
Many other strings will sound great for a short while, but as soon as they get "gunked up", they lose any brilliance and tone, and become dead sounding. Not these. They will sound great for the life of the string. In fact, the only way I know to change them eventually is not because they stop sounding good (which they don't), but because I'll start having intonation problems and I know the strings need to be changed. Normal wear and tear does that, but these strings last SO long.
I've tried the polyweb strings from Elixir as well, but I didn't like those at all. To me, they didn't FEEL right. Sticky or something (not like your fingers stick to the strings, but like you could tell they were coated). With the Nanowebs, they sound AND feel like regular strings, but last forever. The only string I'll use.

Created to extend the life of plain steel strings 3-5 times, the Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel thechnology is the perfect complement to the coated wound string.

Elixir Light Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings Review

I have a 25 year old Yamaha FG-200D(Domestic model, made in Japan) acoustic guitar. When I bought it, it was around 200 - 250 USD. I always liked the way it sounded. It was always loud, bass rich, but a little dull in high tones. Recently I purchased a set of Elixir Nanoweb Light strings. Afterwards, it sounded so great that I won't change it for a thousand dollar worth Martin. I realized that the difference was not in high strings, it was the coated low ones which now sounds crystal clear and still rich. I strongly recommend to any acoustic player.

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings - they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it's there.
