A must buy for anyone who needs longer lasting strings
for the longest time, i played uncoated strings and wondered why i would only get a month at most out of them before they lost their tone, became corroded and most importantly lost their intonation. i tried many things, using products to try make them last longer, wiping my strings religiously after playing, trying different brands, but i still never got more than a month out of them.i picked up a set of optiwebs after hearing rave reviews about all the benefits these strings, and i have to say after playing these i dont think im going to switch back to regular strings any time soon. whereas the strings i used to play would be corroded within a month, i have a set of optiwebs on another guitar that still hasn't even lost its shine or its intonation yet in AT LEAST 2 months.you might argue the tone of elixirs isnt quite as good as an uncoated string, however, in my opinion the difference in tone is negligible. these have almost the exact same tone as an uncoated string with none of the issues that comes with them, especially if you're like me and you run through strings quickly. there has also been no issues with the coating fraying or peeling off over time.the only real negative of these strings is that if you were previously a long time user of uncoated strings, you might have a difficult time adjusting to the feel of them and adjusting your technique to them, even though this is very much a personal thing. the first day or two of trying these strings was a nightmare for me personally until i got used to them, however, once you get used to them they feel great. overall, i can't recommend these strings enough, especially if you're getting tired of constantly having to go out and buy new strings because they corrode in 3 weeks.

Amazing strings
A long review would sound like I’m paid to shill for them, which I’d happily do if they want to send me some free sets. They say the Optiwebs are meant to feel like normal strings - I think you can still feel a slight coating but you very quickly get used to it (I like it) and they sound great. What’s especially impressive is that they last forever. I’ve had a set on my 335 for 11 months and they’re still silver and new looking. I’ve played that particular guitar probably an average of an hour a week but I don’t put them in cases, it’s been out in the room all that time. I’d like to try putting flat wounds on but these strings are still like new so don’t want to take them off.

Great Guitar Strings
They feel slightly coated, but not too much. Nice tone and I will buy more for my other guitars. I would like Elixir to spend less on packaging so we get better value on the strings themselves - I mean the packing does look really premium, even after you have put it in the bin :/

Earing and fingers + Quality
I tried all competitors available on Amazon and now as final decision I stick to Elixir, for my ears and fingers practice this is the best for me: the blue and orange boxes. This is my personal opinion as we are all different, still the quality made me sticking to this company.

Deserve their good reputation
Yeah, they're like twice the price of other strings, but they last about five times as long. To me, they feel fine and sound fine. If you're into jangly tones they might not quite do it for you
