Oh btw...I have a report on the new set of Elixirs I bought.
Like I said yesterday...I went to Guitar Center and picked up a set of the Phosphur Bronze Nanoweb Elixers in light gauge (12-53). I slapped them on my Greg Bennett Dreadnought as soon as I got home. I strung up...tuned...played. My initial reaction was very positive. (those things are bright!!!), but what got my attention was that the strings have that really thin coating on them and it makes them really smooth...you can tell right off the bat. The sound is still very bright but you don't get a harsh string rubbing sound when you're moving up and down the fretboard. And you just know that nothing is going to stick to those strings (ie. gunk). I guess thats the whole idea behind the Elixirs. Now if these sound the same a couple of months from now I will really be impressed. I'm thinking as long as I don't scratch off the invisible coating on the strings I should be ok. I wonder how they'll hold up underneath near the fret wire though? Only time will tell...but so far THUMBS UP.
