Lol, go figure. I should probably start cleaning my strings to make these last longer ha.

Elixirs are the best for longevity of tone and time it takes for corrosion to set it but they are weak as hell and snap real easy for me.

The tension increase is what turned me off of these when I tried one of the beta sets.

Saw the same thing on increased tension with my beta set. Will say they were louder and did last longer. I would have considered them at a couple bucks more but not at almost 3X the price of the XL 120's I normally use.

Agreed on the easy to break and also to me they sound dull and dead out of the pack.

I didn't like any of the Elixir strings. I agree they just sound dull to the same point for a very long time.

I must be out of the loop -I didn't know Elixir made regular electric strings -I know them for acoustic strings -which are are ok and last, but not as good the Coated Daddario Phosphor Bronze or Martins PBs(Made by DAddario) for their sound but WAYYYY better than the unforgivably bad Ernie Ball Everlast.

If their electric coated are anything like their Acoustic coated they are just OK -nothing to look forward to but last a long time.

Placing a condom on a guitar string is never a good idea IMO. Sounds like old strings with the tone knob rolled down.

I agree. Good metaphor.

I've tried elixirs once and playing them indeed feel like using condom.

Elixirs have their place -on an acoustic that gets played once in a while or a guitar you take on non gig trips or outside

but a coated string on an electric? just weird-are they solving a real problem?

These savages should just learn to wipe their strings after playing or hold off purchasing one MrRib every weeks to save the money to buy strings a little more often.
