Why use ELIXIR Strings

Description
Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?
Crafted to last, these acoustic strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boast a warm, robust tone that sounds "played-in" right out of the pack while still retaining a remarkably clear mid-range presence. The POLYWEB Coating brings a soft, slick, and fast feel to the playing experience.
For a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel, try Elixir's ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit, especially if you’re also looking for a crisper, brighter, and more vibrant tone. For strings that strike a dynamic balance between full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity, our Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings deliver exactly that alongside our NANOWEB Coating’s more traditional feel.

Absolutely Excellent Strings!
My 14 year old daughter began to apply her knowledge of Music Teory, Keyboard, and Trumpet, to my 1978 Ibanez Acoustic (Martin Copy). It was strung with Medium to High-Grade, Medium-Gauge strings. I decided I was long overdue to give this guitar a completely fresh Set-Up, and chose these strings, and I began to give her the guitar lessons she's been asking for. When I was done, she picked up this guitar, and after playing a few of her Self-Taught Chords and Melodies, the smile on her face was PRICELESS! The Tone Quality Excellent! I was truly amazed, especially for such Light Gauge Strings! The Ease Of Playing, compared to some of the previous strings I've used on this guitar, is much better, with very little, if any, loss of a nice, rich tone! After a couple of hours, she was playing Rhythm, as I played Lead and varous Melodies on my Stratocaster! I was sure glad I paid the few extra dollars for these strings! Enough Said! Try These Out! You'll Be Glad You Did!

Never went this light before on any of my acoustics but these sound absolutely fantastic. Would be careful if you are a low to the frets kinda player as these could get into the TOO buzzy territory but other than that they're great. #sweepstakes
I like the sound, feel longevity.

These strings work for some - they don't work for others - these strings work for me. I tried another brand - same 80-20 and they lasted less than a month - Elixir strings last way longer so the price is worth it in the long run. And the clarity and brightness on recordings is second to none. If that is what you want - go for it - I never looked back once I started using Elixirs - surprised me too.
