It is literally the only strings I ever use. This is coming from an Elixir fan boy. We know as guitarists, once you get used to something, it's very difficult to change what works but rather we build on that foundation.
These strings are the apex of German engineering! Nothing here in the UK or over in America is better. Every order from Thomann, I mandatorily have to order these strings.
The fact that they are stainless steel means I can use even thinner gauges for better clarity, sound and feel while also having decent tension. So these 9's are comparable to 10's Nickel plated.
They last as long as the Elixir without the chaffing since they are not coated and they actually sound brighter as they age.
I have nightmares where I run out of these strings haha they are THAT good. I don't know what magic they used to make this but let's keep it a secret shall we?
Thomann always keeping prices competitive and musicians around the world are forever thankful. Such a great product and company.
Thank you!
