Comments on: Elixir Guitar Strings – No More Rust, Less Hassle! http://www.guitarfact.com/elixir-guitar-strings-no-more-rust-less-hassle Information for guitar and bass Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:35:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Randy http://www.guitarfact.com/elixir-guitar-strings-no-more-rust-less-hassle/comment-page-1#comment-12495 Randy Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:13:15 +0000 http://www.guitarfact.com/?p=41#comment-12495 I'm a big fan of Elixir strings and the full coating of the strings is a plus over the other conventional coating methods. Many manufactures coat the winding around the string core. This will actually let dirt and grime in between the winding. I've not found a better guitar/bass string than Elixir strings. They just offer the best guitars strings on the market. I’m a big fan of Elixir strings and the full coating of the strings is a plus over the other conventional coating methods.

I like your blog! This Elixer article is a good resource. Another similar product is D'Addario's EXP series strings. D'Addario coats the winding wire instead of the entire wound string. The coated winding wire is then wrapped around the core string. D'Addario claims that this method allows for a brighter, less damped sound than the method used with the Elixer's. Although, I haven't personally compared them, D'Addario's process is obviously more extensive and expensive than simply coating the entire finished string. And since D'Addario is the OEM for many string brands, it's also certainly worth checking out the EXP's in addition to Elixer's. Cheers! jp Thanks for stopping by and commenting at Stratoblogster!
