I play alot and go thru a set of strings on my Telecaster 5 to 7 weeks. My other guitars about 12 weeks. I got sick and tired of Martin and changed to these 9 weeks ago on my Fender. Never broke and they stay in tune. Like new, I'm sold KPM

A bonus, easy on the hands. Bendind two strings at the same time is fun again.

Very nice sound, and sound like the day I put them on.

I beat them up and still cool.

Over priced but that ok, I got rid of Martin.

They sound fine.

Playing for 39 years.

It is a mood thing, day to day.

Beautiful sharp high tones and deep mellow bass tones. Perfect for those who love rock

I've been playing for years, and these strings have nice bright tones and nice deep lows for rocking out. Just remember, the thicker the string the better the tone.

I have had a few G strings break on me, but I use the thicker wound G's because I only play 12 Gauge strings, but keep in mind I beat the living crap out of my strings, other then that these strings last forever and maintain their sound.

These are the best sounding strings available, wish they made these in the 60's, I could have saved a fortune in strings over the last fortyfive years. Best sounding longest lasting strings available period.

Gore's coating and anti-rust keep strings like new. Also makes them so smooth and silky.

These strings make playing effortless

These strings are on all my guitars. It is not uncommon to get over 1 year of service from a set of strings with weekly gigs on top of practice sessions, with zero sound degradation or loss of playability, and never a broken string... Ever!

Unless you use a chainsaw instead of a pick, these string are going to save you $$$$ They may cost 3 times more then the rest, but you will only be changing strings 1-2 times a year instead of twice a month! Do the math.

Have called Gore and someone accually answered the phone! That's hard to find anywhere these days of automated phone tag, and endless menus.( if you wish to continue in English press 1)

If you have arthritis and play guitar these strings are beyond "sex appeal", they actually slow down the ageing process of the fingers!

sounded pretty good about as good as regular strings

about as many features as a guitar string can have but hard to bend

the strings already look like they have been on there for like 4 months and they have only been on there for 2 weeks sound good still not that new sound like they claim to keep they are pretty good strings but not worth the money at all

i usually use d'addario xl 10 gague standard run of the mill guitar string but they work in the best of all aspects or super slinkys for my guitars with floyd rose bridges for bending

didnt have to use it but i feel bad for rating this product so poorly

these strings are highly over rated i will never waste my money on them again

Great sounding strings. Love 'em!!

Not many features to speak of except for the coating. Makes for quiter fretting and easy on the fingers

Again great sound.

Dont understand why so many people complain about breakage, I've never broke any. I've broke other strings but not these.

Worth the money as far as I'm concern. Some places charge more than others so shop around.

How can i rate support for strings......Hmmmm

I have tried several sets over the last three years and they sound GREAT on my Santa Cruz D and on my Seagull.

The early Exixir strings felt strange. You really could feel the coating layer. That changed over the years, in a way that now they feel normal. I can do my pulls and hammers like with normal strings (wich was not the case with the early once).

Well... like normal strings. I read some people find they were slippery, but since I hardly have sweaty hands, they don't feel slippery to me.

They SUCK! I think over the last three years I bought 10 sets, but with all of them the G or D string broke after a few hours of playing. And since they are very costly (almost 20 Euros !!) this really gets me angry. Elixir doesn't make stings of their own, they just put the coating on existing strings. So I guess they only buy the cheap & crappy ones. And it's not just me : if you browse the newsgroups you'll read everywhere of snapping Exilir strings! When I replaced the broken string with a normal one, I have to admit that the Elixirs kept sounding just great : warm, full, and when hit/pulled a little harder they they realy bite, whereas the replacement strings sounded more dull after a week.

Elixir-guys, get your quality control working!!

Well, my local music shop wouldn't replace the broken strings. They' re from the USA and I'm from Belgium. And asking a replacement by sending the broken string costs me more than a new set.

I want ALL strings to last longer than a few hours.

Poorly built, the nanowebs break too fast, sometimes they break when simply winding up the string.

I have only been playing guitar for a year, yet I have tried numerous sets of strings on my Crafter guitar. Elixir Nanowebs break at least 3 times more regularly than other brands. They are a total waste of money. I have broken 3 B strings over the last 7 weeks. They are beginning to gain a terriblre reputation for longevity. Sweet sound though - terrible build quality-AVOID!
