Elixir Nanoweb Acoustic Guitar Strings 3-Pack
Elixir Strings are brought to you by W.L. Gore and Associates, an innovator in PTFE polymer since 1958 (think Teflon). If you're a skier and a hiker like me, you've probably used Gore-Tex clothing for years. Now, they turn this expertise to making polymer coatings for their Elixir guitar strings, and the results are striking. You don't have to spend long in any guitar-related discussion before someone eventually begins praising the long-lasting tone of these popular strings. It's this long-lasting tone that has led many major guitar manufacturers to ship their guitars already strung with Elixir strings.
Been ordering Elixir strings from Shoreline for YEARS!! Nothing has changed -- always the best price and best service!!
My hands have some sort of sweat/oil combination that corrodes regular strings within a week. Elixir's solved my issue and literally last for months. And the price through Shoreline is always the best. Thanks, John!
I was not an immediate fan of Elixir strings. I tried Elixir Polyweb strings and disliked the slippery feel. However, I did like the Nanoweb strings better. After trying them several times I’ve found they are long-lasting and nice sounding in general. They are absolutely the perfect strings for some of my guitars and not ideal for others. So I think it’s worth trying them out to get a sense of how they perform on each guitar. I would give the Nanoweb PBs 5 stars and the 89/20s a 4 star rating. I find the 80/20s to be slightly “trebly” for my taste. However, I have not tried them on most of my guitars yet. I am not thrilled with how the wound strings fray over the sound hole after extended playing. But it doesn’t seem to affect the tone. Overall these are very nice strings that are worth the money.
Our fave string at 3 times the awesome. Thanks Shoreline!
I have now purchased several pickup systems and sets of strings from Shoreline. As with each time before they are great to deal with. Fast shipping and the best prices around. This latest purchase - a three-pack set of Elixir Nano 80/20 acoustic guitar strings came in less than the price of two packs at any store you can travel to. Elixir strings last generally 6 to 9 months of daily playing! The coated strings are comfortable to play and reduce string squeak as well. Love them. Put them all my guitars for the last several years. One in awhile I'll try something else but I always come back to Elixir - and to Shoreline!
