Elixir Strings, Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with OPTIWEB Technology, Longest-Lasting Crisp Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light/Heavy 10-52

These are the best quality strings I’ve ever used. Other brands’ strings usually start to corrode after 2 weeks of use. These strings don’t even show wear until a couple of months of use. They have a great sound and they feel great.

These strings last awhile and stay in tune... really 😁 good strings...I was a Ernie ball guy forever but now I actually use these elixirs and on some guitars I use the d'darios nyxl's which are fantastic as ❤️‍🩹 well

I use an HSS Strat clone for solo gigs. When attempting to get an "acoustic guitar" like tone these strings provide a bit more harmonic content and don't quickly (or slowly) age out of that like uncoated strings. So yeah this is just that standard claim that coated strings retain new string tone, but heavier coatings subtract a bit of the new string tone right from the beginning and these don't (or its just imperceptibly minor).

Good strings for drop D, Optiweb 10-52

Extremely smooth feel yet no plastic feel, so greatly reduces finger squeak and reduces callusing if you play a lot of rhythm. The sound on the trebles is also a touch fatter than the other biggest selling brands. That makes a big difference to me when you have a thin 9 and 11 on top. With some brands, to my ear you just have nothing on those top 2 I just wish the 4th string were a 30 instead of 32. Usually a 10-52 set is 30-42-52. These are 32-42-52. That one difference is surprisingly big. It feels like a beefier set with that D being .002 bigger. I don't think that extra tension is needed because the D is never really a buzzy string, but rather the A and E are.

I originally bought these strings as a direct replacement for my Jackson Dinky js22 DKA, but I was unaware that Jackson string gauge is 0.009-0.042. Extremely light string gauge compared to the 0.010-0.052 I bought. The strings at first were very hard to press on because my fingers aren’t use to such thick strings. Although lowering the tuning to from normal to a a 1/2 tune will help tremendously. The heavy light strings are really meant more for lower tune, and they feel incredible. I’d highly recommend these for anyone who often plays 1/2 or drop D tune. If not I’d recommend getting 0.009-0.042 a lighter gauge if you own a Jackson, and looking for a direct replacement.

My son has sweaty hands and plays daily so strings either rust or snap within a few months. These have lasted an entire year. No rust, no snapped strings.

Great strings that sound nice and crisp and last a long time. They feel slick and stay in tune. I use these thick stings gauges as I tune to D standard tuning on all my guitars. I uses these on my PRS custom 24 10 tops and all my Gibson Custom Les Pauls. I even use them in my custom fender strat. Would definitely recommend trying these out.

Recommend, all is good 👍

Great tone and playability. Longer lasting than regular strings. Check for optimal pricing. It shouldn’t cost over 1k-1.1k per set. Else, it’s a rip off

安定のえりくさーですね

Ich finde die Saiten klasse. Sie lassen sich ausgezeichnet spielen und haben einen sehr sehr guten klang. Leider etwas teurer als Ernie ball zb aber trotzdem lohnenswert.

Buon venditore consiglio
