Review: Best strings I've ever used - Quite simply the best strings I've ever used and I've been playing guitar for almost 50 years. Great tone, very durable and stay in tune better than any of the others I've used. Yes, they're pricey, but they'll easily out last several sets of other strings. I've been using my current set on my Schecter guitar with a Floyd Rose bridge for nearly a year and even with my playing every day with very frequent use of the trem, they still look, feel and sound as good as new! Review: Great value for money - I sweat a lot and don’t change strings often. This is perfect, they maintain tuning and brightness for months!! ## Features - LEADING GUITAR STRINGS: Made with nickel plated steel wrap wire and our proprietary ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating. For a bright and vibrant longest-lasting tone along with a comfortable, smooth feel - BRILLIANT TONE: Elixir Strings are often rated the best electric guitar strings, you can trust in our consistently reliable performance. From our light electric strings to our heavier gauges - CORROSION RESISTANT: The NANOWEB Coating protects from tone-deadening sweat, corrosion, humidity and rust.
