Elixir String woot woot!!! Share your thoughts!!! Prog on!!!

[phoenix_rising]

I lost my thread. Oh Well...

I like elixir strings because they sound great, and they feel divine under the fingertips. They can also be pick savers. My picking hand is now more relaxed thanks to their technology, less fatigue.

I'm currently using 10-56's nano's on my 7 string, and 9-42's 0r 46 on my 6 string.

Thank you Lyric for bringing them in!!!!

nawala nga thread mo bro, elixir din main strings ko. nano 9s for electric and poly 10s and 11s for acoustic. i switched to cleartones before but i'm back to elixirs. mas cheaper @ $180.00 for a box of twenties compared to cleartones.

[Al_Librero]

I almost switched from Elixirs to Cleartones? Are there any differences between the two?

[region III]

from my experience, i don't hear any real difference in sound. they both last long medyo madulas lang ang cleartones but they cost more @ $12.99 per set (you'll get a free t-shirt if you buy a box of twenties).

Thanks to Lyric for bringing Elixir in. I regularly order mine from sweetwater. Been using it for 4 months now. never going back to balls or addarios again 

[xelalien]

Had a couple of hard gigs for the past few weeks...Still shiny...still sounds new despite drench in sweat. Wear and tear on the picking area which is normal..Still going!!! Gotta love Elixir's.

I tried playing a with regular strings, my smile just vanished. Playing back to regular strings isn't right anymore. I'm sticking with Elixir's, i enjoy playing the guitar now, don't get tired of picking too!

Great strings! Mine still look as if they just came from Mike's shop.

i wanna buy pero its so mahal for a kid in highschool with parents who are tight on money )

[teleclem]

Actually, it might turn out just as expensive (or maybe even cheaper) than your typical string set. Why? Because you won't have to change them out as often.

thought about that too but my parents are so unwilling to shell out some money ) it's understandable. sanay sila sa string sets that are like P300

Replaced all my string on my guitars with elixir.

The oldest one is 1 month old already. Still no rust. Just a few wears on the picking side.

[pings15]

all of my guitars are strung with elixirs woot woot

The Elixir Polyweb 10s has been on my Ibanez S570B for 4 months (and counting) now and they're just starting to wear. My Fernandes Tele has had Nanoweb 10s for around 2 1/2 months.

Great value for money. Normal strings barely last a month under my fingers.

 Some bad news folks. Elixir has stopped production of their Anti-Rust plain strings (G, B & high E). They have switched back to the typical plain strings. Better stock up on the remaining ones in stores while this gets sorted out.

It's only temporary, I hope.

From Anita of Elixir® Strings

Greetings, Gear Page members. This is Anita from Elixir® Strings, stepping in to a forum for the first time, ever, to apologize for any confusion and to clear up any misinformation about our anti-rust plated plain steel strings.

We have experienced a temporary disruption in the supply of a raw material. This raw material is used for anti-rust plain steel strings only.

This temporary disruption does not affect the wound strings, so no changes to any strings with NANOWEB® or POLYWEB® Coating.

In the meantime, we resumed production of our original plain steel strings, and you are seeing some of those sets in the stores now, without the anti-rust statement on the package. You can read more about it, with a few FAQs, at http://www.elixirstrings.com/product...art/index.html.

We expect to return to the anti-rust plain steels shortly, and we'll make an announcement on our website and Facebook Page when we do.

This thread came to our attention, but we do not intend to inject ourselves into your forum. If you'd like to talk with us about this situation, please call or email and we'll be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks!
-Anita

Just checked my packs here.. buti anti-rust pa sila haha

Anyone check if Lyric already has some plain ones? If not, one could still buy up some older strings. I'm thinking a few will be enough for about a year or so (3-4 packs a year, marami na yun). Enough time for them to resolve the issue.

[phoenix_rising]

No worries it's only temporary  guys. 

[rowley75]

buti nalang.. phew.. anyways. installed elixirs on my new jem. the one on my egen is on 3 months+ already and doesn't even show any signs of rust, tarnish or any type of oxidation. the tone is still fresh.. rawr.. gonna stow me some more until elixir resolves its material problems.

[sulayman44]

once you elixir you can't stay clear.

Got my set of 7 string last night at trinoma.

Ok, after remembering that elixir temporarily stopped producing coated strings for the plain steels, I checked out my oldest elixir last night. May kaunting rusts na siya sa ilalim ng strings. Pinadulas ko isang tissue paper and yes, meron na ngang rusts. Hindi pala ako umabot sa sets na lahat coated ung strings. Although, I still commend elixir for having the anti rust plain steels. Hindi parin siya ganon kabilis mangalawang. I hope magtagal pa. Kasi I only found out the elixir issue after buying 4 sets of strings. Sana hindi sayang.

In for:
Better toan.
10's feels like 9's.
Reliability.
And it just lasts longer that every guitar string brand I have ever tried. So far that is.
