3 Sets of 12002 Super Light Electric Strings (9-42) (Nanoweb)

I've been using Elixir strings for many, many years mainly on acoustic guitars. I recently acquired a couple of Fender Telecasters. I wanted a lighter gauge string for country style string bending and the Elixirs were rated high in a couple of comparisons I found on the web, so I ordered these. From the start, the sound and playability was excellent. Elixirs have a proven record of longevity, so I expect these to last a while. They cost more than most other brands, but I liken strings to tires. If you put premium tires on your car you notice an immediate improvement in the way the car drives. Same with premium strings. What's another $5 or $10 bucks per set when you know you're going to get excellent results.

These strings are phenomenal. They sound and feel great, and last forever. Other types of non-coated strings get corroded and grimy so quickly, I can keep these on for months with 2-3 hours of regular daily practice. The 3-pack is a great value. Elixirs seem expensive, but I save a lot of money over replacing uncoated strings every week!

I like the feel and sound of these strings, but the biggest selling point is the longevity for me. I hate changing guitar strings, and while these cost more money than a normal set they last way longer, not just in durability but in tone also. I would estimate these last 2-3 times longer for me than a cheaper regular set of strings, and I use a whammy bar quite a bit.

expensive, but worth it.

I bought these because they last so long. The coating on the strings keeps them sounding new longer as well as keeping the strings from rusting from humidity and long periods of playing.
