My father wanted to make his own set for his guitar because he has a bit sensitive skin (has bunch of skin problems, not to mention developing arthritis).

He liked flatwound strings because they aren't hard on the fingers but he wanted to try something new and missed the sound of the roundwounds.

He was impressed with the quality (they were removed and put back on on the guitar, I think, 3 times) and loved the coated feel they had. He claims they are not hard on his fingers.

They are still on after almost a year of use. I'd say he plays around 5-10 hours per week. Not bad I say!

Handy for making up custom string sets

I buy these single elixir gauges on occasion if I'm altering a set for an altered tuning for slide guitar. They can be expensive bought singly like this but the Elixir sets last so long that I don't mind. I use Elixirs on nearly all my stage instruments and have done for years. They save loads of hassle, rarely break and sound and feel smooth.

Lebt lange, aber nciht allzu lange

Ich habe die Elixir Saiten eigentlich schon ziemlich lange. Für den Gelegenheitsgitarristen sind sie das Beste. Der Sound ist eigentlich nicht merklich von nicht beschichteten Saiten zu unterscheiden was sich sehen lässt. Spielt man jedoch in einer Band wird die Angelegenheit aber mit der Zeit teuer. Das Problem ist, obwohl es ja gar nicht so dünne Saiten sind, dass die G, B und E Saite trotz versprochener langer Lebenszeit vergleichbar oft reißt wie die normalen Saiten. Spielt man mit diesen Saiten haufiger kann man, wie gesagt, sich darauf gefasst machen viele Sätze im Jahr zu kaufen.

Wie man hier sieht musste ich schon einzelne Saiten kaufen, da sie doch nicht so lange leben.
