They do sound a bit different than plain strings (not as "brassy"?) But what you get in return is a sound not everyone around is playing. If you want plain string sound play nanowebs. I like the slick feel, they almost feel soft" to my fingers which allows my playing time to at minimum double. These ploywebs last for ever...! I've gone through 3 sets of regular strings and I'm just now replacing the Elixers. Make up your own mind. I think they'll end up with a new customer. Alleycat67 **Q: Is the g string wound?** A: No it's not. **Q: How do these fair up on say a Martin D-12-28 guitar?** A: Well overall Elixer Polyweb is the only strings i buy......i own a Gibson CL 20 and a Guild DC5 E; both Americannmade..and 2 rainsong 12 strings....Elixers sound Great on all and last a Long long time. **Q: Csg102a yamaha student guitar are these the right size and type? can someone tell me what size to buy?** A: They are pricey for student but really good strings. The gauge is be right for a student, easy on the fingers though if your guitar is set up (at purchase) for heavy, they might buzz a bit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***T on February 22, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***T on April 18, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***. on March 27, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with POLYWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Warm Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Rich and Full Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright and Focused Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3732845-80-20-bronze-12-53](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3732845-80-20-bronze-12-53) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
