User questions & answers

Question:	Do these work with first act acoustic guitars
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings. What type of D'Addario strings do I use
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I put nylon strings on a guitar that use to have metal
Answer:	I've tried both, and I'd say the polyweb coated strings are less bright. I prefer a brighter sound so I go with the nanoweb.
Question:	Are the first 3 strings nylon
Answer:	Because Jeff Bezo's needs money to pay for his expensive divorce.
Question:	What would be the best string size to use on a used acoustic guitar to be played by a 9 year old boy
Answer:	I have used almost every brand of strings on my various Martin acoustics. Elixirs stand above the crowd in terms of tone quality. 80/20 bronze bring out the best but need changing about every 2-3 months max for a daily player. Phosphor-bronze have less nuanced tone but still excellent, and seem to last almost twice as long. Recommend 80/20 for the regular player who wants the most "detailed" tone, P-B for more occasional playing and longer life. Discerning players will be happy with either in any case.
Question:	What would be the downside of putting these strings on an old classical guitar I bought for $25. Would it cause the neck to bow
Answer:	80/20s bronze will initially be brighter. Phosphor bronzes will be warmer. 80/20s become warmer after use more quickly and may become undesirable to use more quickly because the strings are no longer giving you the desired tone you started with. Phosphor bronzes hold their initial tone longer, but are by design, warmer. Projection (beyond gauge of the strings~heavy vs medium vs light vs extralight) and ease of fingering have much more to do with the guitar you're using, style of playing (use of a pick/how hard you're strumming/finger-picking), and setup (tuning~you drop down a half a step, the strings will have less tension and will be easier to bend).

Question:	I am very sensitive to high pitches and tones. I'm looking for warm low mellow strings. Which set of strings (type and gauge) do you recommend
Answer:	This is a great set of strings, right now I'm using Martin 80/20 Light .012 - .054 and even better, if you want a mellow one try silk and steel! By any brands you can experiment for your self! I would try GHS, D'Addario has it too!
Question:	how many strings in the pack
Answer:	one of each string, total six
Question:	are these ball end or do these come in ball end versions

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between exp 16 and exp 16 3d strings
Answer:	The strings I purchased have a large blue-rimmed circle. They are "Custom Light" with a purple circled "11". Strings are MA175, 80/20 Bronze.

Question:	If you've tried the EXPs and their non-coated counterparts, have you noticed a difference? Are the EXPs a little less bright, a little warmer
Answer:	I’m pretty sure the only thing that changed was the packaging. All the strings sizes are the same as the last packaging I have bought both

EXP NY Steel String Strength

D'Addario EXP strings are created using advanced proprietary machinery. Starting with a micro-coated wrap wire that is precision drawn, EXP strings with NY Steel are then wound normally to maintain feel and tone. The only difference a player will notice is that the string lifespan is a minimum of 4 times longer.

EXP NY Steel Pitch Stability

D'Addario EXP strings with NY Steel deliver the natural, vibrant sound of regular phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze acoustic strings with an unparalleled pitch stability. EXP strings not only last substantially longer, but they hold their tune better than any competitor strings.

Product description

Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would you recommend this for a Taylor 816ce
Answer:	I have a 614ce and these are perfect! The custom lights (.11) are also acceptable but you may lose some volume, still they sound good. I would play around with gauges and get the best feel and sound for you! Taylors are high class!
Question:	how many strings are in the package
Answer:	This is a full set of 6 strings for acoustic guitar.
Question:	Are all 6 strings supposed to be bronze and nano coated, or are the E-1 and B-2 anti-rust plain steel
Answer:	On the individual strings' paper packets, only the wound strings (G-3 through E-6) have "Nanoweb coating" text. The E-1 and B-2 strings say "anti-rust plain steel" instead.
Question:	What is the difference in sound between an 80/20 and phosphor bronze please? And poly and nano web? Which is warmer, less bright
Answer:	80/20 is very bright and crisp... Phosphor bronze is far more articulate and warm. And over all a more balanced sound. Hence why they cost a bit more than 80/20. As for poly vs nano? Poly has more coating to protect the strings.. But dull the sound a bit. Nano has less coating but last a bit less than poly. Hope that helps.

Less Sweat, Debris, And Finger Squeak

The way your strings sound has a lot to do with what you normally can’t see. While both of our patented coatings reduce noisy finger squeak, they also cut down on a large number of other pesky annoyances common to your average uncoated string. Sweat, skin, dirt, and even air, for example, can do a lot of damage to your strings. And if you live in a hot, humid area, the moisture in the atmosphere can wreak total havoc on your strings’ tone life. But with Elixir Strings, you’re getting world-class protection that’s engineered to endure.

Polyweb Coating Vs NANOWEB Coating

POLYWEB Coating was our first coated string innovation all the way back in the '90s. It tends to warm and mellow the string’s tone and has a fast, slick feel that’s gentle on the fingers, which lets players keep jamming without the strings getting in the way. As a response to players who said they prefer a more traditional feel, NANOWEB Coating was then designed. This ultra-thin coating allows a brighter, crisper tone while offering the same amount of tone-life protection as its predecessor.

Coated Like No Other

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. That’s why Elixir strings retain their tone longer than any other brand’s string, coated or uncoated. Simply put, build-up and corrosion kill your tone, and Elixir strings protect against elements that cause build-up and corrosion. All while sounding exactly how you’d expect a premium set of strings to sound.

Anti-Rust Plating

Corrosion protection between wrap wire windings is all well and good, but you may be asking yourself, 'What about the strings that don’t have a wrap wire?' And we’re proud to tell you, don’t worry—we’ve got those covered too. Literally. With our signature Anti-Rust Plating, even your plain steel strings defy the elements. This ensures longer tone life not just for your coated wound strings, but for your entire set. When we say you’ll have more gigging, jamming, touring, or practice time between string changes, we mean it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why are the 'light' $24.99 and all the others (extra light, etc) only $14.99? also, can i purchase extra individuals of the high g string
Answer:	I use Martin Light (MA540) and Martin Custom Light (MA535) strings on both my D16RGT and my HD28. Both sets of strings are ball end. Years ago I used Martin Medium (MSP7200) strings and they, too, were ball end. Awhile back Martin changed the product numbers on all their strings and what was MSP7200 is now MA550. I would strongly suspect that the MA550 strings are also ball end. You might check with a local music store by phone to see what they can offer.
Question:	are these strings balls or ball less
Answer:	It should fit with no problem.
Question:	How do you know what size string to get
Answer:	Im guessing the question is: “Are MA550 Strings made of silk and steel?” If that’s the question, the answer is No. Silk and steel strings, for what might be termed “folk guitars” have the model number MA130.
Question:	How do these new strings compare to exp, or is it just marketing same strings with new package? people report issues with breaking strings, humm
Answer:	The main difference is how much string tension, so the low tension will be thinner strings, think of a light set of strings and the medium will have more string tension and be approxiamately equal to a medium set of strings. It depends on your preference but I would recommend the Mid tension as they seem a little lighter than a standard acoustic string set. They sound great and really well balanced, you will notice a positive difference

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the guitar tuner accurate
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Do these guitar strings are long enough for 38" acoustic guitar
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	The 3 in 1 guitar picks look nice. Is the sound clearer when sweeping the guitar strings? Will it break easily
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	What size is the thumb pick
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	I’m looking for medium gauge strings for my 12-string. where can i get them
Answer:	amazon has a nice selection of strings for your 12 string - careful tho, the heavier the gauge, the more stress on your guitar neck (and your fingers) but GOD - does it sound good??!!!!
Question:	It says purchase 2 sets and receive 5% with coupon code yet amazon says you limit it to one set per customer so I can't add
Answer:	Hi - I've just checked the settings within Amazon, it should work for for you now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Karen - VIBE Strings (GIE)
Question:	how do you know they "last", if you just got them
Answer:	Hi Thinker - many thanks for your question. There are really two scenarios 1) where you plan to restring your guitar immediately and 2) where you are keeping them to restring at a later time. When restringing your guitar immediately, just follow the steps in the care PDF we sent to you. These steps detail how to restring your guitar without damaging the strings and also how to care for the strings day-to-day as you play and store your guitar. If you plan to restring your guitar at a later date, it's best not to open the strings packing as they are vacuum sealed to ensure no environmental damage. These simple steps will ensure your strings last longer and deliver the tone and playability people love from Vibe Strings! Please don't hesitate to get in touch should you have any further questions - Kind regards, Karen - Customer Relationships, Vibe Strings

Question:	Are the strings for acoustic or electric guitars
Answer:	It has acoustic only.
Question:	Do these work well
Answer:	You get what you pay for
Question:	These strings are not labeled how do you know what string goes where
Answer:	You would determine the string placement by the thickness of the cord and the color/material. The 2 thinnest strings (B and E hi) go in the furthest position away from you and they are usually not colored and/or silver.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any trace of nickel in these strings
Answer:	According to the Ernie Ball website :"Made from 80% copper, 20% zinc wire wrapped around hex shaped tin plated steel core wire. The most popular acoustic guitar strings provide a crisp, ringing sound with pleasing overtones." Zinc and copper are both minerals found in the earth and strings are made in factories that use a variety of metals. I would imagine that there COULD be some cross contamination in the manufacturing process but it should not happen.
Question:	I am thinking of getting this extra light set for the reason that it is easier on the fingers. is there better alternative to it? f.e. silk $ steel
Answer:	We sell silk and steel strings to a lot of beginners, as well as XL strings. They are easier on the fingers. But, the only real solution is to play every day for a couple of weeks, play until your finger pads hurt, then stop until the next day. In a couple of weeks the skin will be tougher, and you can play any strings you like.
Question:	Trying to get something for my husband. I see the one labeled 12-string. But he also needs a 6 string. Is that just the basic package
Answer:	Hello, ths is a set for a 12 string and what that means is there are 6 strings and 6 much thinner strings to be played together. The 6 string guitar needs the standard 6 string set for it. I hope this helps you. - PM
Question:	Size: 2 Pack What does it mean? Is it on sale you can get 2 packs or "2 pack" means for something else? Thanks
Answer:	I just pulled mine off the listing to avoid confusion as well. It appears a seller used the UPC code of a single pack to create a 2 pack listing, and then Amazon merged the two listings because of the same UPC code. Most likely if you order, the sellers at this low price point like myself are offering only a single pack. It's unfortunate when this happens, I will contact Amazon and see if there is any way to fix the listing.
