Elixir 12050 Strings Electric Guitar Strings w POLYWEB Coating, Light (.010-.046)

This strings sound excellent. I wouldn’t buy any others. I play a lot and my strings used to get dull even within a week until I switched to these. They last a good while which makes them a real money saver. There is a bit of a learning curve if you aren’t used to coated strings because they can feel a little slick, but getting used to them doesn’t take long—just a a small adjustment of touch. They fit perfectly and play nicely.

I recently picked up a pack of Elixir 12152 Electric Guitar Strings, and let me tell you, they're like a breath of fresh air for my guitar. I've been playing for years, and I've tried all sorts of strings, but these stand out in a league of their own.The first thing I noticed was the longevity. I'm the kind of player who goes through strings like there's no tomorrow, especially with daily practice and regular gigs. But these Elixir strings have an incredible lifespan. I've been playing them hard for weeks, and they still sound as fresh and bright as the day I put them on. It's almost like they have a superpower against wear and tear.But longevity is just the start. The tone is what really got me. It's rich, clear, and has this beautiful, resonant quality that brings out the best in my guitar. Whether I'm playing soulful blues or high-energy rock, these strings deliver a consistent, superior sound that never fails to impress.Installation was a breeze too. I remember stringing up my guitar and feeling how smoothly they went on. And once tuned, they held their pitch like a dream, saving me from the constant retuning I had to do with other brands.And let's talk about comfort. These strings feel fantastic under my fingers. Smooth, with just the right amount of tension, they make playing for hours feel effortless. No more sore fingers or struggling to get the perfect bend.In summary, if you're an electric guitar player looking for strings that offer durability, exceptional tone, ease of use, and comfort, then the Elixir 12152 Strings are your best bet. They've transformed my guitar playing experience, and I can't recommend them enough. Five stars isn't enough for these little wonders!

Clear sound, smooth feel, last 12 months. I store my guitars in cases, acoustics with humidity packs, play at home only and they last for a year. It means around 100 hours of playing for me, after that , strings loose ‘elasticity’ but still don’t rust like other brands . Tried all kind of strings from different brands, these are my favourite even within Elixir range.

Elixir are a good brand and they do probably last longer than some other brands. But I don't think there for me, I bought them because I'm lazy when it comes to changing strings so i wanted something that would last. But I'm not keen on these strings so I'm changing them only having used them for 2 weeks. Plus side, delivery was really fast, I got them the next day!

Not everyone likes them but they are my go-to strings (9-42 or 9-46 depending on the guitar). Having a bit of a guitar collection, it's great that they don't go rusty from lack of use or constant cleaning. Personally, I like the sound and feel. They are a bit more expensive but not in the long run.

Elixir is always never disappointing!

Nice and bright on my strat, and seem to be keeping their slick feel and shiny-new look longer than any other strings I've tried. Nice, easy to open packaging and held tuning well almost immediately. Would recommend.
