My knowledge is however, that there are manufacturers who do make custom strings for E-A guitars, I just don't know of anyone using them. **Q: being using polywebs for years, and they last forever!, are these as good as promised? are the plain strings treated as well?** A: HI mateI haven't used polywebs, they ' re supposed to be warmer sounded than these. I use elixir mostly on my practice /rehearsal guitar where tone is not the first priority and they do seem to last. Don't know if I'd use them for recording, at least for clean tones after a whileHope I helped! **Q: what are the individual gauge of each string 011 - - - - 54 ?** A: there is no 11-54 gauge elixir set. 11-49 = 11 14 18 28 38 49 Ernie ball make a Beefy Slinky set which is 11-54 11 15 22p 30 42 54 **Q: Are the 10-56 really 56 at thickest one? Because picture says 10-46** A: I use Elixir 9/42 and 10/46 electric guitar strings for their bright, long-lasting tone, on my 6 string guitars.. The 10/56 guitar strings are only suitable for 7-string guitars. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by S***E on 12 June 2026* I've experimented but gone back to these. They sound as good as the NYXL on my Novo and last way longer. My Mastery bridge was creaking and now it isn't. Some of that is likely due to the reduced friction from the coated strings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am satisfied. Thank you. *by S***N on 1 July 2026* Everything is fine. I am satisfied. Thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny *by R***N on 19 March 2017* The Elixir Nanoweb strings are a life saver in some respects. They are coated so they last for a very long time. This can be handy when you're pushed for time (re-stringing 3 guitars with Floyd Rose bridges can be hairy and time consuming), or if you're half way through the month and don't have much cash. Having strings that last longer is a life saver in that respect. Apparently Elixir released Polyweb strings, strings that allegedly could last forever. So what about the tone? The tone is great! I find Fender nickel strings (not nickel plated) are the best strings I have heard in terms of tone, and they are my favourite strings. But you know what. I stock up on these Elixir bad boys, because the tone is passable, they last longer, and hey I've been lazy. I haven't changed the strings on my main guitar for three months. They aren't even rusty yet! These strings really are that good. Although in the interest of honesty, if I was performing with a band, or knew I was going to be jamming out with some friends, I would probably use Fender nickel strings, because they're my absolute favourite in terms of tone. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Strings, Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 10-46 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright and Focused Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47907735-elixir-12052-strings-electric-guitar-strings-w-nanoweb-coating-light](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47907735-elixir-12052-strings-electric-guitar-strings-w-nanoweb-coating-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
