## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between nanoweb and polyweb caotings?**
A: Polyweb strings from Elixer are, imo, the Best Strings on the market. 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.

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.
