Been Using for Years
Great strings. Last long. They sound good for a long time too. Not nearly the high end zing of Daddarios, but I actually like that.
They bend easily, even with a Strat. The high E is the toughest, I usually only bend a full step with it, but with the other 5, I can easily get 2 whole steps.
I have no plans to try new strings, these do it for me.

Good quality product, fast shipping, thank you
Immortal
These strings have NEVER gone dead, dull, or dirty on me, even after months of playing. I have had real frustration with conventional strings, particularly the low E, losing that "bounce" after a few days. These strings are seemingly immune to this issue, while sounding and feeling good. Highly recommended, even at the higher price, because they do something no other strings do.
Best sounding so far
Not so much as happy with the strings (i mean yeah they're good but they're just strings) as much so with Ashton Boyd. I was a die hard guitar center customer until Ashton. I recommend if you can choose your sales rep, go with him. I've had issues with equipment that were user caused, and Ashton will stop his day until the issue is gone.
great strings
what hasn't been said,they play good,sound good,stay in tune and last!
Awesome strings.
Bought these a few weeks ago. For, the first time. Very impressed with them. The sound is very nice.
Great tone, long life
When I play, even at home, I sweat like a ***** on Coupon Night. I used to play Ernie Balls, for their tone. But I was changing strings every week or two. These Elixirs feel natural, sound amazing, and last 4 times longer than any other strings I've tried. Try 'em, you won't be sorry.
Gear
First try with the elixer optiweb strings, they perform great! My sales engineer David M is awesome, always helpful, and knows his gear, I order quite often and have never been disappointed! Sweetwater is hands down the best! Next up, now try the paradigms on the same guitar!!
After all these years...
I was surprised that I would change my string preference after so many years.
I accepted to be a beta tester and was sold!
Yes that cost more than my old standby brand but well worth it because they really last long and most importantly sound and feel fantastic.

Very nice feel. Exactly what you would expect from Elixir.
Wont stay in tune
I put these on my Tom Anderson Classic S, which comes strung with Regular Elixer Nanowebs, when you buy a new Tom Anderson guitar. Elixers are just too slippery for me, so I normally use Dadarrio NYXL 10-46 which used to stay in tune great. After having a few bad batches of NYXL strings this year ( I am not the only one if you read the current reviews) I decided to try these Elixers because they are supposed to feel like normal strings. They are a bit less slick than Nanowebs, but are still too slick for my liking, especially on the low A and E strings which feel too slick compared to the other 4 strings. The main issue of these strings is they just will not stay in tune, even after a week long break in period and some usual nut sauce lube. Looks like I will have to find the right strings for this guitar, but these just don't seem to want to play well. I am tuning more than I am playing which is not fun.
