Can you confirm the packaging says "with anti-rust plain steels"?

the set I ordered had the anti rust plain steels, these strings last quite a while but the high e string always seems to weaken after about a month and just snaps, even though all the strings still sound fresh when this happens. i have tried 5 sets of Elixir polywebs and every single set the high e gives up on me and snaps after about 4 or 5 weeks

I have a buzz on the D string 14 fret that I didn't have before. Anyone experience this after stringing up their guitar?

I'm assuming you put on same gauge strings for it not to be a problem before you restringed the guitar and it only one string in the middle where the neck meets the body I think it's your action and check intonation but that's weird only the d string 🤨

I don't know what went wrong. A string broke under a week after I put the polyweb mediums on. Why did this happen?

The only thing that I know of to cause that is over tension. Which I have done in the past by not realizing that I was tuning the string an octave higher that I should have. I don't remember which string it was but I had over tighten it while watching the tuner and tuned to the wrong octave. The string broke the next day, I ask a luthier what could have happened, he gave me the probable cause. When I replaced the string I was more careful tuning and realized that he was right I had over tighten the string. So that is something to consider as a possible cause. Since that happened a few years ago I have change many strings and never had it happen again.

Why is this cheaper than nanoweb coating? Also is the coating poisonous in any way?

They last longer than nanoweb. I like them better

やはり一番良いです。

他社製品も試しましたがコーティング弦はやはりエリクサー弦が一番だと思います。長持ちで弾き心地も良いです。ありがとう御座います!

ジャズ系サウンド、あとギターシンセにもいける

巻弦がゲンゲンしてない、マイルドな音でジャズ系向きの音。ただ1〜３弦は普通のと同じかも？キュッていう擦弦音が小さいので、ギターシンセに張るとミスノートしにくいという利点もありました。

手汗の多い私は、ギターを始めた頃からエリクサーです。エリクサー特有の音色すらも武器として、受け入れています。最高です。ありがとう。

2週間以内に1弦と2弦が切れた

ピッキングが下手だったのか2週間以内に1弦2弦が切れました。前使っていたエリクサーは長持ちしたので少し残念でした。

悪くない

一番コーティングが厚い、そしてよく滑る、スライドを多用する人や潤滑剤を使う人には特にオススメ、サウンドはほんの少しトーンを落とした感じ、好きだけどね
