So, she should be good for a year, maybe more, depending on how many times I play this year (played 50 times last year, but not with just that guitar).
We'll see though. As I've learned, "nothing stays the same in life except for the fact that things always change." So who knows, Elixers could become better or worse for all I know. lol.
Hi Tony...just curious...do you prefer polywebs over the nanowebs? I've used Elixer nanowebs for many years now...many folks feel the thicker coated polywebs are too slick feeling & don't have as good a tone as the nanowebs due to the thicker coating. Have you ever compared them directly on the same guitar?
You have me curious now...I may try a set of polywebs again...used them on some of my guitars awhile back, but switched after thinking the nanowebs sounded a bit better. As far as feel, I actually prefer the polywebs...I don't mind the slicker feeling & the thicker coating is easier on my fingers...I have small hands & even though I have fairly decent calluses, un-coated or light coated strings take their toll on my fingers, so it may be worth a bit of sacrifice in tone to be a bit more comfortable.
From Elixir:
"The difference between our coating "flavors" lies in the tone and feel. Elixir Strings with NANOWEB Coating sound and feel more like traditional, uncoated strings. They are bright and lively, and the coating is so thin that you can barely tell it's there. Elixir Strings with POLYWEB Coating have a warm, "played-in" tone. While our POLYWEB and NANOWEB Coatings differ in tone and feel, both offer a smooth feel, reduce finger squeak, and deliver extended tone life."
