Review: Great strings for electric and acoustic guitar - I have used this brand of strings many times. I find their price reasonable. The strings themselves give off a great tone and are quite smooth. Your fingers don’t drag or make that strong a metal scraping twang when moving up and down the frets like some other brands do. I get good longevity with these strings and their tone stays great up to the point of a break when I then replace the entire set. Review: Sound great play great and last a long time. - One of my Fav brands of strings. You cant go wrong with these they don't feel like a heavy coating and feel nice to play. They also last a long time, perfect for that guitar you only pick up now and again as well. ## Features - Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire - Played for the same crisp tone as an uncoated string - OPTIWEB Coating provides a natural feel - Our coating technology protects against common corrosion and debris buildup, extending tone life longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings (Elixir Strings player survey) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MQZ62XV | | Best Sellers Rank | 696 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 54 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Metal | | Brand | Elixir | | Brand Name | Elixir | | Coating Description | OPTIWEB Coating | | Coating description | OPTIWEB Coating | | Colour | Blue | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,719 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00733132190522 | | Hand Orientation | ambidextrous | | Included Components | Guitar Strings | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | Strings for electric guitar | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | W.L.
