16002 Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - .010-.047 Extra Light Review

Well Worth the Price

I've been strictly an electric (Les Paul) player for many years, which I only use Elixir strings on. I recently bought a cheap, used acoustic guitar to leave out in my living room to goof around and maybe write songs on. I've had such good experiences with the Elixir electric strings I figured I'd stick with them. These are great! They really minimize the finger-squeak that always… read more bothered me when playing acoustic, and the life of the strings is 2-3 times that of other brands. They're well worth the few extra bucks.

Amazing Strings

When my guitar started to sound like someone was palm muting it constantly, I decided to get new strings. And man did they sound good!!! It has a twang to it that I had really wanted, just enough coating to make it easy for your finger to slide, but not enough to make it slip from under your finger when you make a bend.

Thin like cooked spaghetti, but sounds bright and crisp.

I normally would get the .10-.47 nanowebs and they had some "tin" sounds but with the phosphor bronze of the same width do not seem to have this problem.

Best Strings Ever!

I own a 1973 Yamaha FG-300 acoustic guitar that I have had for about 45 years. I used to play Guild strings on it but they became hard to find. I have always played 12s but I am almost 70 years old and the grip is not what it used to be. Also my fingertips aren't as tough as they used to be. I have played Elixir 10s on my electric guitar and really like them. I thought 10s on an… read more acoustic may be too light but I thought I would give these a try. Man, am I glad I did. These things play like butter. In all the years that I have had this guitar, this is the best it has ever played. Could not believe the difference they made. And the sound and tone are great also. I would recommend these strings to anyone wanting to upgrade the playability of their acoustic. If you can play heavier gauge strings, by all means do so. But if you want something easier to play, these are great.

Love these strings

I have used Elixir stings on my Taylor 510 since I first got it and they are long lasting great sounding strings.
