Elixir Polyweb Acoustic Extra Light Reviews 5

$13 from Guitar Center, I was told it was the best guitar string out there.

I do love the coating on these strings which was said by many people that it'll last a long time. Regardless of the length of time it last, I personally like the fact that it stays in tune after awhile. I tuned it, after playing 4-5 songs, it still stays in tune, like it's never been touched.

Brightness - Doesn't sound too sharp. Also, they're not that easy to get into; meaning that you have to tune it many times because it stays "well-tune." They are stiff, so if you prefer light strings, try extra light on the Elixirs.

Very normal in terms on how guitar strings look.

If you are lazy and like long lasting strings, get the Elixirs. If you want brighter tones, get the Nanoweb kind, but if you're the player that switch chords against the strings, use Polyweb.
