Nickel Plated Steel 10-46

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 !!!

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

I love Elixir strings. I use these on my Les Pauls. They sound great, feel slinky and last much longer than the Ernie Balls I previously used.

Good electric guitar strings! ELixir are very good strings, will buy again!

I've been using Elixir strings for many years, and I have tried all brands in the past. They are a bit pricey, but the articulate tone, which is important to me because I only play clean, no pedals, and how long they last is worth the money. At times you can find 3 packs on sale.

These strings are ok, in my opinion. I normally get the Warm bronze 10ga red box. These in blue box seem to sound too bright, treblely with the pick (warm/bassy with thumb) and, I had to adjust my acoustic Breedlove's thrus rod (first time) upon using these. After the adjustment, string buzzing is at a minimal, but I will admit, at next interval, it'll be the Red Elixir box warm bronze type strings. The 3rd string isn't wound as ones in the red box is.

The coated string feel and sound is not for everyone, but it is what I’ve grown to prefer. Add in that the strings last way longer than uncoated and it’s a win-win if you like them. Definitely worth trying if you’ve never experimented with coated strings, and elixir makes my favorite coated strings and they’ve been doing it for years. Strings are completely subjective though so if you don’t love them, just keep trying different brands, types (coated vs uncoated), gauges, materials, etc until you find what you love. For me, it’s these polyweb 10s on electric and elixirs nanoweb 12s and 13s on my acoustics.

These strings are amazing. I wanted to wait a couple of months before I wrote a review of these Elixir Polyweb string so I could speak to their longevity. I normally use d'Addario or Ernie Ball Slinky strings and they last me about 3 weeks before they become dull, lifeless, corroded and hard to keep in tune. These Polywebs have been on two of my electric guitars now for 8 weeks and they sound and tune exactly the same as the day I put them on. I am still waiting to see how much longer they will last. I don't know about you, but to me changing strings is a chore and with these strings the time inverval between string changes is already making me very happy. And, like I said, even at 8 weeks these strings sound just as good as on day one. I realize that some players will not dig the smoother texture of the low E, A and D strings. For me, the transition was not difficult. I would suggest any player who wants substantially longer string life to give these a try. If you don't like the feel of them, you could try the Nanoweb strings from Elixir which are supposed to feel more like regular strings (however, I have heard that they don't last as long as the Polywebs, which have a thicker coating). In conclusion, at this point I have already gotten almost 3x as much life out of these strings, which effectively makes them, already, the same price per week as d'Addarios or Slinky's. And with no quit indicated in these Polywebs yet, they may very well last 5x longer or more, which would effectively make them more cost-effectilve than regular uncoated strings without the hassle of changing strings every 3 weeks!
