Pros & Cons
Pros
Just sayin'. Try them and you won't be disappointed. Just dabble in playing a few times a week at the house.
Elixir acoustic 80/20 bronze guitar strings have longevity, stay bright and crisp the full tonal range. Once broken in they stay in tune and if they have gone a little flat (as any string will do over time) it's as if you can hear them resonate as you... Read More
Cons
Very twangy and metallic sounding. The nut on the end of the a string busted clean off so. Would not recommend these.
Going back to the martins. No sustain. No change. Pfas or forever chemical.

They are not the least/most expensive but around $15.
Furthermore, you will be saving money, because you will not have to change these strings as often as you would a non coated string.

Liked the availability and used these for recreation .

The elixir box disintegrated, and all of the individually packaged strings fell out and mixed around inside the amazon soft env... Read More
The elixir box that the three sets of strings comes in is not the strongest, so when they throw it into one of those new amazon... Read More

Taylor used these as standard equipment on their american made full sized guitars for years.
We've tried several different brands & keep going back to these.
I've even removed recently installed strings of another brand and put on the elixirs (basically wasting the money i spent on th... Read More

Im not performing live bluegrass or something where i need brightness to stand out in the mix and i would choose the tuning stability of older strings over the improvements in timbre every day of the week
