Product Description
Elixir® Strings with ultra thin NANOWEB? coating have the bright tone and punch of non-coated strings and feel like traditional strings. Elixir® Strings are coated in a unique way to protect wound strings from your DNA and other contaminants. A flexible, strong, yet micro-thin polymer tube defends the Critical Zone of Tone from invading enemies. Nothing (including the coating) gets between the windings. The result? Strings that sound and feel their best three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Gauges: .010; .014; .023w; .030w; .039w; .047w

 Great strings December 17, 2009

I got these for my dad for christmas. He loves them. He's been a musician for about 50 years and says that these are the best strings you can get. If he's happy with them, I'm happy with them.

I don't think I've ever been happier with any product ever. The other "coated" brands all suck compared to these. Don't buy imitations. I've tried many that did last nearly as long. I basically change these only when I do a set-up. Amazing...

Elixir strings are the best. I've always used Elixir ever since I first used them around 5 years ago. These newer ones are even better. Sounds great, feels great and did I mention that it sounds great!! Very long lasting. Because I live in a part of the world that don't have these and are hard to come by the last set of elixir I had on my guitar was on there for more than a year.....and it still sounded great.
 Polyweb, Not Nanoweb May 19, 2008

Although the title of this item says "Nanoweb", the picture and the item I received were "Polyweb". Now that I have had both kinds, I will say that they are both great strings and I will continue buying Elixir - however, the Polyweb strings are a lot harder on my fingers than the Nanoweb, almost to the point of not wanting to use the guitar as often. Unfortunately I bought two sets so it looks like I will be learning to deal with it ;)

I put a set of Elixir Nanoweb custom light strings on my main acoustic guitar maybe a couple of months ago. Although I don't play gigs on it, I play the guitar just about every day, or maybe every other day. The custom lights are wonderful: great durability, nice tone and projection, easy on the fingers. I bought a set of the Elixir extra lights for a Laguna 3/4 size travel guitar I have. The reasoning was that the lighter body guitar with a shorter scale could use lighter strings, thereby putting less stress on the body. Compared with the light D'Addario strings that came with the guitar, these have a more muffled low E string. The A string, too, doesn't project as much as the standard strings. Although I've not tried the extra lights on my full-sized acoustic, I suspect that there, too, the lower strings would not have the presence or ring of other brands. Even with the custom light set--where the lower strings are a heavier gauge than a normal light set--the bass notes have a slight hint of that muffled quality. The thing that most players of Elixirs seem to talk about is the playability and the durability. They are smoother feeling than non-coated strings, and certainly don't degrade because of perspiration nearly as quickly as regular strings. The other thing that's important to know, though, is that the Elixirs are excellent at holding a tune, once they're stretched and broken in. That being said, I'm not sure that I would put the extra lights on the Laguna again because of the bass projection issue: a small guitar has little enough bass to begin with and these strings don't help. As you might have guessed, though, I'm thoroughly convinced about the custom lights on the full-sized acoustic.
