Elixir acoustic guitar strings
Q: I'm a beginner at guitar and the one I got has very horrible strings.
I have a Ephiphone, so I guess I'm going for the phosphor bronze kind.
>>>But should I get light, custom light, or extra light?
Open to any suggestions.
A: since your beginner, I would def reccomend xtra light. Youll feel pain in your fingertips and hopefully the lighter strings wont be too harsh on them. Plus your fingers will be far too weak for medium or heavy strings, ive been playing for over a year
I just placed them on, slowly tuned them up after warming them up, and then they snap in two.
I had a pack of Elixirs 12 gauge, and 4 of them BROKE in two when putting them on.
Is this a coincidence, or are Elixir strings really
Providing a rich, expressive tone, Phosphor Bronze Elixir Strings extend the "sweet spot" of phosphor bronze tone for the entire life of the string. The new Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze strings give a nice sound with a solid bass background.
I’ve been using a set on one of my guitars for at least 4 months now, and after playing at least 4 times a week for at least an hour or two, the strings sound nearly as good as the day I first strung them. Good choice if you mainly play Pop with barre chords down the neck, but not for open chords and the dirty, slightly distorted blues sound you expect from an Acoustic guitar when you pick and slap those lower strings hard. I have a Yamaha FG-series acoustic guitar which sounds absolutely amazing, but with these strings it sounds a bit more like an electric guitar....
As with all Elixir polyweb strings they have a tendency to look a bit worn or tattered as you use them over a period of time, however, they keep their tone, reduce squeak and are comfortable to use for acoustic guitars. Elixer strings continue to be my string of choice for professional applications with acoustic and acoustic/electric guitar. I use the Polyweb coated strings on all of my most prized instruments for their extended life, minimization of hand/finger fatigue, and control of string “squeek. The strings represnt your actual point of contact with your instrument and Elixer Polyweb strings are simply the finest, in my opinion. Because of its smaller body, the Epiphone EL-00 guitar should not be subjected to the larger diameter strings, which might cause too much stress on the bridge. I currently use these on a Rainsong, which is carbon fiber and has a tendency to amplify string squeak due to the guitar construction.
I've heard that the Polyweb ones can sound a bit dull?
As a semi-new acoustic player, I've asked around and have been told that Elixir light strings are best for my acoustic. However, what is best - custom light or light? Also, which is better out of the nanoweb and polyweb?...
