Long lasting and smooth feel!
Elixir strings are amazing, they sound and feel good for ages. I go between either elixir or d'addario and both are really good and i would highly recommend both brands. 10 stars though for elixirs I love these strings!

Last ages
Not everyone likes them but they are my go-to strings (9-42 or 9-46 depending on the guitar). Having a bit of a guitar collection, it's great that they don't go rusty from lack of use or constant cleaning. Personally, I like the sound and feel. They are a bit more expensive but not in the long run.

Nice strings
First time I’ve used elixir strings before. They play well and sound great, will be interesting to see if they last significantly longer than standard strings

Great Quality
The best and brightest coated strings I've ever used. Clear, ringing tones that are comfortable and resilient. Great quality.

This product was recommended by guitar repair specialists
These strings were recommended by the company, and owner, who sorted my schecter guitar, and he is right. Pricewise they are little different to the competition, however the sound is brighter, and purer, and they do advertise exactly how their string series will sound, and they are just so right. I didn't realise such exactism and choice existed. Give em a try, I don't think you would be disappointed . I have them on both my schecter C6 solo and my fender and the sound definition is sharper and discernable.

these strings last for ages and maintain their sound
superb strings, The 9-42's suit my playing style (fairly light touch lead player) and I've yet to break ne in normal usage. They keep their tone much better than other makes and that means they stay on the guitar much longer - so whilst they are not cheap, they are great value for money

Perfect
Been using Ernie Ball strings for a while, but they seem to rust quick and collect dirt, even with clean hands, so I was on the lookout for some strings that don't rust too easy, came across these and gave them a try and boy was I surprised! they sound so much better than i expected, they're lovely for sliding up and down the fret board too, also, they last for AGES without losing the quality of sound! if you're looking for decent sound, decent longevity and a nicer feeling string than the typical wound strings, try these, you wont be disappointed

Originally I used to get NYXL D'Addario strings but switched to these becuase I didn't like how my strings kept rusting after only 2 weeks of playing. I've been using these strings exclusively for about a year now and I've never seen them rust yet (I switch them out about every 2 months). Very easy to play, good lasting sound and very durable too. I've only had one time that a string broke on me (high e string which I was bending really hard). Definitely worth giving these a go.

Por años usé Dunlop Super Slinky’s, pero comencé a ver que llegaban con rastros de óxido dentro del paquete cerrado y de paso no me duraban más de un mes en buenas condiciones. Decidí probar con las Elixir y no podía creer el resultado tan favorable. Hice un test de desgaste, y estuve 3 meses tocando con el mismo set sin limpiar nunca las cuerdas (cosa que hacía religiosamente con las slinky cada vez que terminaba de tocar). Para mí sorpresa, no solo mantenían su color, sino también su tono brillante. No al 100% como el día 1, pero seguían dando buen tono. Lo que sí llega a hacerse apreciable es la disminución de la estabilidad de afinación. Llegado a ese punto es que las cambio o, que se rompa una cuerda, que solo pasa tras meses de uso. Las mejores y mas duraderas cuerdas que he tocado, por lejos!

Superlative, il primo approccio è stato top. Vengono montate di serie sulle ESP e le E-II, purtroppo sulle LTD anche se di fascia molto alta no. Così diciamo ho chiuso il "circhiolo" provando per la prima volta questa tipologia di corda e sto godendo come un riccio tra la qualità costruttiva della chitarra, pick Seymour Duncan e le corde. Il feel, l'intonazione, la facilità dei bending enl dei vibrato... Ne parlerei per ore... Non è detto che faccia per voi, ma un tentativo lo farei. Me ne sono innamorato, piano piano provo tutte le Elixir, per ora queste rimangono le mie preferite

J'ai pris pour tester vu les avis et je suis réellement bluffé par ces cordes, elles donnent un son vraiment plus riche et sont vraiment agréables au toucher, elles glissent parfaitement entre les doigts ce qui est un vrai plus pour moi. Bref que du bonheur et je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui veulent de vraies bonnes cordes pour jouer plus aisément. Je ne peux pas encore dire sur la durée car je viens seulement de les installer mais d'après ce que j'ai lu, je n'ai pas de soucis à me faire de ce côté là !

Product very good but price should be reduced as the variation between regular strings and elixir is very high.
