I only have pros, no cons!!! I love Elixir strings!!! I've been using them for years!!! I first heard about them from a good friend of mine, Tom Hemby. He is a 30+ year session player and producer in Nashville Tennessee. I'm not a pro like him, just a weekend warrior, but honestly these strings have been a Godsend for me!!! I HATE to change strings!!! I'm using the word about strings!!! Anyway, I love the sound of NEW strings but hate to have to stop and change them all the time! My hands sweat profusely so I always have dead strings. Tom told me that if I started using Elixir strings that problem would no longer be an issue and he was right! I use the Extra Lights .010 -.047 Nanoweb set on my Blueridge BR-163 CE. One of the things I didn't realize was that the coating cuts down on the noise, the string squeak when I change chords or when I'm playing a lead. With un-coated strings it's very irritating! So, my strings are quieter, they last longer, they sound bright all the time!!! I'm diggin these strings! All I can say is if you aren't using them, you should be, give your audience a break from the squeak, squeak squeak, of your strings during your performances, it's very distracting from the songs and your playing ability!!! I tell everybody I know that plays or is starting to learn, just go ahead and buy yourself some GOOD strings, it's the foundation of your sound!!! NO MORE SQUEAKING AND THEY LAST A LONG LONG TIME!!! That's a winner to me!!!Read full review

I'm a fingerstyle player so why am I buying extra light gauge strings? I refuse to grow long nails or wear finger picks. This extra light gauge allows the fingertip player to get the same tone as a picked or "nailed" player on a heavier gauge. It's ideal. No squeaky finger slide sound and such a buttery silky feel make these hands down the most comfortable string.

The polyweb strings are for guitars you want to slightly mute. I got them for this reason as well as their long lasting since I don't change my strings that often. I also like that my hands stay clean. So if you have a guitar with over bright or trebly sounds, this is a good choice. In my case, I have a pickup in my guitar that is too sensitive to high sounds and this puts my guitar is better balance when connected to the amp.

These strings last a very long time. Be sure to make a note on the string box, because you'll forget the last time you changed them. I mean, how many years ago. I have several guitars and only use Polywebs on them.

The coating on these strings makes them easier on th fingers than non coated strings. They sound very good, with a nice ringing sound. If they last as long as the other Elixir strings I have used (and I can't imagine why they won't) then they will be a great value as well.

These are great sounding strings that last a long time compared to non-coated strings. Good full-body sound even on a concert size guitar. Highly recommended.

I've been using these strings for years now I really like the tone but the life of these strings is what really keeps me coming back

They are the longest lasting strings I've ever used, and they help your guitar stay in tune, thank you.

I have an older small-body acoustic and got these extra-lights to see how they'd do. The literature said the Polyweb sounded a bit warmer and felt "slicker" to play than the Nanowebs so opted for that coating this time. They have accomplished exactly what I wanted. They have plenty of volume in a small-body, are a delight to play, and the guitar is more responsive than before. I have a similarly made deadnought that I put 11's in 80/20 Nanoweb on, and those are perfect for that guitar. They are a different sound. I also have a high-end dread that I put Nanoweb 11's on in Phosphor bronze and they're great for that one. So all three types for three different guitars and all worked perfectly.

Strings are a little dark. Still, I enjoy the sounds emitted! A different sound than the Phosphorous Bronze which are a brighter sounding string. Both are good!
