These are the only strings I buy now. They last a really long time and sound great. Just the time saving of changing your strings less frequently is worth the price

5.0 out of 5 stars The best strings I tried
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022
I had a buddy tell me that I had to try these. He said that they easily last twice as long as normal strings, and they sound better the longer you play them.

Turns out, he was right. The reason why is because the coating used to protect the strings does dull the sound a little bit. and you don't truly get a true feel for what they can sound like until they're really broken in. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Just don't change your strings right before a show. They do last twice as long, though, and even out-of-the-package, they sound better than most other strings I've tried.

I typically used Martin strings before mostly because I felt that if Martin makes such awesome guitars, they must make Martin strings to go with them. The strings I usually purchased where the Martin Authentic Lifespan 2.0.

I personally own two Taylors and a Takamine acoustic, and most folks know that Taylors come stock with Elixir strings. Personally, I think that's because it helps Taylor sell guitars.

When I was playing the Martin next to the Taylor at the music store, I preferred the sound of the Taylor. It was strong in the mids, subdued but still bright in the highs, and they had a wonderfully subdued bass sound that you could feel more than you could hear. The Martin seemed more well rounded, but the Taylor stood out because it rang out much longer.

I think it was the strings, and I didn't realize this until knowingly changing from my normal Martin strings to the Elixers on my guitars at home. Three guitars all produced superior results for different reasons. On my old Takamine workhorse, the Elixir strings produced a lot more sustain from a fairly weak sounding guitar. I was used to having to plug it in if I wanted people to be able to hear the guitar over my singing, and that became no longer necessary. On my Taylor Mini, the Elixirs greatly reduced the clinky sound strumming made, which was overwhelming with the Martin strings. This was the most noticeable difference. The Mini sounded really bad with the Martin strings by comparison.

On my baby, though, that punch from the bass that you can feel more than you can hear has returned.

It doesn't sound like it produces a very loud sound, but that sound carries a long way. I love singing with it. It's the only guitar of the three where I can actually hear the strings ring out loud enough to harmonize my voice with them, and I am truly in love with that feeling.

I wasn't able to attain that nearly to the same degree with the Martin strings.

The other thing that I want to point out is that these seem to be easier to tune, and they stay in tune. usually, when I first string a guitar, I like to strum around a little bit and then retune. I've been finding that with these strings, I don't have to. Plus, it's actually kind of strange if I pick it up and it's out of tune. I truly believe the strings have something to do with that.

I have used these strings since the Clinton administration. They last a long time for those who play on the porch a couple nights per week, and last several gigs for players use their guitar on a regular basis. They feel good and sound good. Buy some. Use some. Buy some more

I purchased these for my hummingbird pro. They definitely lasted a long time. The feel and the tone is completely different than what I was used to. Usually I use Ernie ball Earthwood which are cheaper but do not last as long. In my opinion the Ernie balls sounds better with traditional style old-school acoustics but if you don’t want to change your strings very often, and you’re not concerned about what may sound arguably a little bit better or feel a little bit different than these strings might be the best fit for you. I’m going to stick with the Earthwood for now on my Gibson hummingbird pro. I’m going to install a new set of elixirs on my late 1980s USA ovation elite that I don’t use that often and since it is not really a classic style guitar think these elixers should fit the bill for that particular guitar.

I called Elixir for string type for my Martin acoustic. When I asked for the person’s email to give them my feedback, was I ever in for a surprise. W.L. Gore makes Elixir Strings!

If that doesn’t ring a bell with you, go search Amazon for “Goretex”, a famous insulator product made by W.L. Gore and used in lots of cold weather outdoor clothing, mostly outerwear and gloves. Really great stuff! Had I known that W.L. Gore made Elixir Strings, I would have been using them 20 years ago. No kidding, that’s how highly I think of W.L. Gore’s products.
