They will last and last... if you keep a level of maintenance!I recommend cleaning your fretboard thoroughly before changing strings and keeping your guitar in a properly maintained humidity level (or at least in a dry gig bag!).MOST IMPORTANT: I use Fast Fret before and after I play (some mineral oil on a lint-free cloth will work just about as well), and my Elixirs last months and months. It is a discipline, much like how the Samurai kept his blade clean, but will keep your strings in shape.For other brands, some tarnish or even rust may appear after a few weeks of normal use, and I would have to use WD-40 to remove it (just don't get it on the guitar's wood!!!). Sometimes it wouldn't help, and the strings (sometimes not even all of them, just the wounds or just the unwounds) would just sound dead and need to be replaced.Elixirs still sound good, and keep a consistent tone across all of the strings that sound nice. I can't say that they sound as bright as the day they came out of the package, but it's WAY more bang-for-your buck. I've also yet to see one spontaneously break on me under normal stress and tension, but I'm not about to tune my guitar higher to test my luck.I am a studio musician and play a lot, and from over 15 years of experience, these are my favorite strings. I'm currently recording an album with an Ibanez RG470 and the same strings I've had on for four months.Ask yourself: what's my time worth? Do I want to keep actually playing, or do I want to play guitar-tech all of the time? Changing strings sucks. Get Elixirs!

The media could not be loaded. Got great sound from these strings, they feel nice to play with. At first it has a slippery/oily texture to it, but after getting used to that it helps out playing fast. these are the first strings I used after the ones that came with the guitar broke. It tunes really nice too, doesn't get out of tune fast. Would purchase again

If you are a sweaty handed ape like me, stop what you're doing right now and buy these strings. Every regular set of nickel strings I'd buy would be tarnished and dull within (no exaggeration) 2-3 days. I thought that was just the nature of guitar strings! Turns out it's just my sweaty hands causing strings to tarnish immediately. Even when I'd try wiping off the strings after playing they would still tarnish and dull so quickly.I've had my "new" guitar for a little over a year now and I came THIS CLOSE to spending $400 on a new set of pickups because I was so disappointed that they sounded so dull and muddy. I noticed that when I replaced the strings, the guitar would sound great for one, maybe two, days and then back to the muddy swamps.Well, I'm SO GLAD I gave these Elixirs a shot. They sound awesome and one week into restringing they're still bright and shiny and playing like new. Can't believe I waited this long. I can't recommend them enough. I've been teaching myself some old 70's hard rock solos that have crazy bends and have not managed to pop any strings yet, so extra bonus there. They seem durable. So happy with these. Buy them!

This brand is my husband’s preferred choice. Good price and quality electric guitar strings.

These strings are ok, in my opinion. I normally get the Warm bronze 10ga red box. These in blue box seem to sound too bright, treblely with the pick (warm/bassy with thumb) and, I had to adjust my acoustic Breedlove's thrus rod (first time) upon using these. After the adjustment, string buzzing is at a minimal, but I will admit, at next interval, it'll be the Red Elixir box warm bronze type strings. The 3rd string isn't wound as ones in the red box is.

If you haven't tried these, just grab a set and play. You won't regret it.I love elixir because I can use one set of strings for months without having to replace due to them getting hard to slide. Granted, they cost more, but they also always feel like a new set. Slides easy, but not too slick. Just give them a couple of days to break them in. The first couple of days the tone is a little shiny. After that, the sound is great.

Coming from Da'ddario 9. - 46.'s these things are incredible! My previous strings would show substantial ware after about a day if not less of playing. They played really well and bending was no issue but they really put a hole in my wallet after going through over 10 packs because they would just ware down and break after such a short time. However, THESE THINGS! They had the feel, AND the life span. I still have the same pack of strings on my guitar right now and after 2 months they are still holding up very nicely being a consistent player that bends alot. And they feel great to play! I would highly recommend these strings to anyone looking for slick and fast strings along with durability and longevity! 10/10 and two thumbs up.
