I like elixir’s strings for my travel guitar. They’re very resilient and don’t corrode easily giving them a long life and low maintenance I look for when on the road. However, as far as tone goes, though they aren’t bad they could be better. But I guess that’s what you get for strings that last as long as these babies.

I received brand new electric guitar strings as stated and within a week from ordering. Thank you for a hassle-free sale.

I put these strings on my Gretch solid body, 70′s vintage. I love the full and varied sound I can get with this guitar, can play anything with it. I don’t play as much as I used to so I thought I would try the nanoweb coating on some super lights. Hated the sound. Not very full, and this guitar has very rich sound. Almost tinny.

I have never had a set of strings that were worse than these in over 40 years of playing.

I play at least ten hours a week, and typically change strings once a month. They get thoroughly cleaned after each session. Thought I’d try the Elixir strings (mediums) to see if they’d hold their tone better between changes than what I had been using. The experiment was very disappointing. When new, the tone wasn’t as full as it was with my regular (much less expensive) strings, and what tone there was began to deteriorate in just a few days. In fact, the high E string already displays rust spots. After one week with these overpriced, underperforming strings, I’m changing back to economical, great sounding D’addario nickel mediums tomorrow.

Of the eight items I have ordered through Amazon, only the books have been satisfactory purchases. I recommend sticking to what you do well. Unless you want to stock these non – book items and, hence, be responsible for stocking and delivery (and communicating with the customer!), but that wouldn’t be economically worth your while. The products that I did receive were as advertised with the exception of the strings. As these are coated strings and so don’t corrode like regular guitar strings these were okay, but it was in packaging the company hasn’t used in years. Had I ordered a set of Martins or Fenders I would have had to return them. I guess you could say you were lucky. That’s not Amazon’s doing, but it is inevitable that such things happen when you agent drop – shipping for other sellers.

I might buy some other books from you sometime. Maybe a CD or DVD.

But nothing else.
