Why use ELIXIR Strings

Description
Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface, but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands' coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set.
Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?
Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to the original POLYWEB coating, the ultrathin NANOWEB coating allows a more traditionally textured, "uncoated" feel.
For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with their original POLYWEB coating. The 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with POLYWEB coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, Elixir's 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings.
Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. Jam on and on (and on) with the same premium electric bass guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available.
Specially developed based on in-depth feedback from more than a thousand bass players just like you, Elixir Strings' tailor-made selection of bass strings proudly includes nickel-plated and stainless steel construction options, four-, five- and six-string sets, long and extra-long scales, and virtually every gauge range you could possibly need. All with their innovative string coating technology. And unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings.
Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?
Premium by design, these electric bass guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire boast a rich, rounded tone with incredible clarity and a heavy mid-range presence. Meanwhile, the ultra-thin NANOWEB coating, redesigned specifically for bass guitars, allows a smooth, natural feel that also enhances grip and reduces finger squeak.
For a brighter bass tone, try Elixir's Stainless Steel Bass Strings with NANOWEB coating.

Can you double these strings on a 12 string guitar
No. You would need a set of 12 string style strings because they have specific gauges.submitted6 years ago

I've been using D"Addario .012-.053 on my acoustic guitar for a long time. I like them but thinking about switching to Elixir strings again. Always have liked Elixir strings! What would you recommend for Elixir strings
These strings would be a good option. They're the original and still the most popular set Elixir produces.
