polyweb user here.
6 months on my tele, no rusting, still smooth as silk feel and tonewise.
then a month ago, a friend shipped 2 sets of Elixir polywebs from SG, installed 1 set on my strat right away, only to find them corroding after a month.
Puzzled, I remember someone mentioning that Elixir had problems with their anti-rust coating supplier and lyric didnt get from that batch or something like that.
then I checked the box from the set I got for my tele which I bought from Lyric, and then compared it with what I got from SG.
same box, only one difference.
from Singapore on the left, from Lyric on the right.
and i was like, "So this is what they were talking about.."
