Just the strings you need
A little expensive but long lasting. Do not snap while tuning, has a good range for different types of tunings. The perfect sound you would need to either perform live or record.

Completed my life
I always thought acoustic guitars sounded dead and horrible. Turns out my strings were just rusting after several days. Elixirs changed everything for me. I'm getting months of use between sets before they rust, I've no idea what I'd do without them.

The Other Of The Two
I mentioned in my other selection of Elixir strings that I go back and forth between these and those ones. For acoustic, all I use are one of these two Nanoweb strings. I would recommend them to anyone.

Nice sound, long durability
I actually use the 11's but they don't seem to have them here. A little more expensive, but they go a long way. Only the best for my little babe.

Down to 10's now! Totally depends on the guitar. On some the thicker ones are just too tense.
Artist usage
Add artist
"Strings are the original source of sound for any stringed instrument. The foundations of all your tone comes from there. Being confident that each time you get up on stage your strings are sounding as fresh as the day you played them is priceless. Chris Woods only uses Elixir Nano-web’s gauge 12 Phosphor Bronze. CW ‘After starting to use Elixir I simply can’t go back, it’s not just because they last longer or how awesome they sound, it’s how they feel – They have opened up the whole fretboard for me, moving around is simply effortless ‘"
