Elixir 11050 Strings 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings w POLYWEB Coating, Light (.012-.053)

Best strings ever

Only acoustic strings to use really

So cheap, wish I’d bought more.

A bit disappointed with these strings. Whilst they play very nicely, they tend to go hairy where you strum the string. This is particularly an issue on the G string, which fussed up after a couple of days use! I looked into this and it appears to be a common issue, where the nanoweb coating starts to fray. It doesn’t seem to effect tone, but its cosmetically not pleasing to look at. I’ll use these up (purchased a 3 pack) then try another brand.Update:-Contacted Elixir product help, and they told me to contact Amazon. Problem is, the strings were purchased Dec 23 but I’ve only just opened and used a set and now there is nothing on the order section to make a warranty claim with Amazon. You end up going in circles.

Easy to fit. Bright tone. Time will tell what effect the poly coating has on the fingers and the sound. Looking forward to finding out.

Once again Amazon hasn't let me down. Said Sunday delivery, but got it a day earlier, (Saturday) and only ordered yesterday afternoon. Brilliant. And as for the Elixir strings..... Still the best. Still my favourites. And Amazon do a fantastic deal, £35 for 3 sets of Phosphor Bronze 12s. All 10 of my guitars have them on. My main performance guitar, which I practice on every day, and perform with 2 or 3 nights every week, the strings still manage to last about 6 months before they lose their good sound. O, and I've never had even one broken string... Yet. Thanks 🤓

Strings exactly as described and exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

I have used many times and they perform really well, outlasting cheaper types.I play daily and change these strings about every four months and they still sound great.
