80/20 Bronze

Such a great feeling to pick up the guitar and know that every time it will sound great and in tune... there is something magic about these strings for sure, yes they are expensive compared to your usual Martins etc but they are in a completely different league

Having bought other flat wound strings that really let me down, I was looking for a mellow sounding string that didn’t squeak. These fit the bill, and sound great straight from the pack. No odd twangy brightness, really smooth

Spending £14 on strings is pretty ridiculous but these really do sound fantastic. I was a little frustrated with the lack of bass and warmth on my acoustic and a friend recommended these - it's like a whole new guitar. 10/10

After 12 years, it was time to replace my guitar's D'Addario EXP16 strings (NY Steel Phosphor Bronze12-53 Coated, Light - so very similar to these Elixir 12-53). I rarely play the guitar, and noticed what may have been mild rust on the D'Addarios. Here's my honest review as a very amateur player. Pros + Strings are much easier to play than the D'Addarios, more forgiving + High tone strings are not as razor sharp on the fingers as were the D'Addarios, huge win for me as an amateur player + Overall good balanced sound, but definitely not as "warm" as the D'Addarios Cons - The lower E string is not as loud nor as deep as the D'Addarios (which really surprised me) and sadly I do prefer the D'Addarios for this note - The lower strings seem to produce significantly more fret buzz that the D'Addarios, maybe it's my technique, so don't take my word for it Overall, whilst easier to play, and producing a good balanced sound, I somehow miss the more dynamic and deep D'Addarios. I guess I'll just have to wait 12 years to revert to them.

I remember when I started playing acoustic guitar everyone told me to buy Ernie Ball, D'addario, etc but since I've moved to these Elixir strings my whole playing world has changed, these strings are brilliant. And I'm not getting paid to say this (maybe I should) .They actually make me play better, but hey I don't care what you do really I'm just saying for me they're great.

Easy to fit. Bright tone. Time will tell what effect the poly coating has on the fingers and the sound. Looking forward to finding out.

Best strings available - they last twice as long and feel smoother under the finger tips. I find I can play the guitar for much longer using these before I have to quite due to fingertip pain!

Sound and feel good. Can’t comment on longevity yet. I’m happy with them so far.

Qualität sowieso immer gut Elixier sind halt die einzig waren Gitarrenseiten

Good strings ... nice warm sound for acoustic guitar - especially with spruce top. Coating reduces finger on string noise when recording

Calidad de sonido duradero. Mantuvieron el sonido por 3-4 meses con un uso casi diario. Valen la pena. Lo único es que el recubrimiento toma un color verde con el paso de los meses.

Ho acquistato queste corde per la mia chitarra acustica e devo dire che superano di gran lunga molte corde comuni che avevo provato prima. Stabilità dell’accordatura: fin dal primo utilizzo tengono benissimo l’accordatura anche dopo lunghe sessioni di suono. Non devo continuare a ritoccare l’accordatura ogni pochi minuti, cosa che con altre corde succedeva spesso. Durata nel tempo: non perdono brillantezza e rimangono suonabili molto più a lungo rispetto ad altre corde non rivestite. Anche dopo molte ore di utilizzo mantengono una risposta tonale piacevole. Qualità del suono: il rivestimento POLYWEB contribuisce a un suono morbido, bilanciato e con buoni armonici. Non sono corde “brillanti al massimo”, ma offrono un tono ricco e gradevole. Rapporto qualità/prezzo: è vero che costano qualche euro in più, ma la qualità si sente e si paga. Per chi suona regolarmente e vuole corde che durino e suonino bene, ne vale assolutamente la pena. In sintesi: ottima stabilità di accordatura durano più a lungo delle corde tradizionali suono equilibrato e piacevole un po’ più costose, ma con valore reale Consigliatissime per chitarristi che vogliono corde affidabili, durature e di qualità Spero che la mia esperienza possa essere utile a chi sta valutando l'acquisto.
