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.

If you want more projection, volume and sustain i urge you to try the martin liquid metal bridge pins with these two models.

Price


My favorite strings at a great price.


Buy them, they are worth the extra price and you will not be disappointed.


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.

Shipping


And they were here very fast too!


My first order took 2 weeks and never arrived.


So i did a reorder and this set came in quickly.


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.

    Ill admit it i dont change my guitar strings as often as i should


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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

    These strings do actually last longer before getting funky

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 814 x brace not v is an outstanding guitar perhaps known as the flagship of the taylor lineup


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But i wanted a more articulate sound particularly in the bass


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While i liked the sound with the elixir 1253s i just wanted more crisp bass


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
