Review: Excellent strings !! - I've tried most of the big string brands and I've narrowed my favorites down two two brands. One is the S-Joy brand make in Tennessee, but they're not the easiest to find or buy and ordering often takes a couple of weeks. My other favorite is Elixer strings, they're every bit as good, they ship fast, they feel good and they sound great !! If you like EB's or D'Addario's, you're gonna LOVE Elixers !!!
Review: Long lasting - These are my favorite strings. I play regularly and these string last me a year or more. Worth spending more for this coating. Love the sound quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you confirm the packaging says "with anti-rust plain steels"?**
A: the set I ordered had the anti rust plain steels, these strings last quite a while but the high e string always seems to weaken after about a month and just snaps, even though all the strings still sound fresh when this happens. i have tried 5 sets of Elixir polywebs and every single set the high e gives up on me and snaps after about 4 or 5 weeks

**Q: I have a buzz on the D string 14 fret that I didn't have before. Anyone experience this after stringing up their guitar?**
A: I'm assuming you put on same gauge strings for it not to be a problem before you restringed the guitar and it only one string in the middle where the neck meets the body I think it's your action and check intonation but that's weird only the d string 🤨

**Q: I don't know what went wrong. A string broke under a week after I put the polyweb mediums on. Why did this happen?**
A: The only thing that I know of to cause that is over tension.  Which I have done in the past by not realizing that I was tuning the string an octave higher that I should have.  I don't remember which string it was but I had over tighten it while watching the tuner and tuned to the wrong octave. The string broke the next day, I ask a luthier what could have happened, he gave me the probable cause. When I replaced the string I was more careful tuning and realized that he was right I had over tighten the string.  So that is something to consider as a possible cause.  Since that happened a few years ago I have change many strings and never had it happen again.

**Q: Why is this cheaper than nanoweb coating? Also is the coating poisonous in any way?**
A: They last longer than nanoweb. I like them better
