Elixir Strings 12027

Q: How many weeks is the life about these ones? is this better d addario nyxl? i´m use ernie ball super slinky right now... worth the change?

About 3 months, is the same quality as nyxl, worth the change

Q: Excuse me, these are with 011 gauge, right?

That is correct. These go from .011 to .049. Best, -Brian

Q: what size strings would you guys recommend for a beginner that has no experience whatsoever with any kind of instrument Any answer I will appreciate

The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

Q: Would the heavy ones work good on a hollow body guitar?

Yah, they should. Are you upping or changing gauge? If so the heavier gauge might throw off your guitar set up. I use the 11's or 12's in standard on everything from my tele to my acoustic, so they should sound and work well. Just make sure you're set up to handle whatever gauge you throw at it.

長持ち

コーティング弦に否定的なギタリストYouTuberいますが、錆びにくい、長持ちは自分にはありがたい

長持ちで良い弦です

とにかく長持ちです。毎日弾いても半年くらいは余裕で錆びないし切れない。音質については人によって好みがあると思いますが、私には十分良いものです。価格はノンコーティングよりも高いですが、長持ちなので結果としてお財布に優しいと思います。弦に強いこだわりがなく、毎日の練習で弦を交換するコストを下げたい人にはおすすめできます。

スクラッチ音出さないなら良い弦

弾きやすく滑りも良いコーティングなしより倍くらいは長持ちする印象ただ値段もそれなりにするのでコスパがいいかというと大差ないですイマイチな点はピックスクラッチが出来ないくらいかなと思います

本当に錆にくいので助かります！

本当に錆にくいので助かります。音質については、どうこう言えるほどテクや耳を持っていないので分からないです。またリピートさせていただきます。

好印象で弾きやすいです

一回目は作業途中で切れてしまい再購入二回目はうまくいきましたぬるぬる指の滑り具合は最高です次はlightかmediumにしてみようかな？レビュー見るとSuperlightが多い気がしますが流行りなのかしら？

お金のない高校時代は張れなかったけど、社会人になった今ナノウェブを好きに張り替えられる！大人になるってこういうことか！と感じさせられるいい弦。

想像以上に硬かった

アコギの弦が硬いと思うようになったヘタレです😭で、どうせPUで音拾うからと、エレキ用弦にと…………009~のエレキ弦だと音に張りが無くなると考え、011~049のこちらのエリクサエレキ用をチョイスしました………、、結果、硬いっ❗️チョーキングなんて、むしろアコギのライトゲージの方が柔らかいかも🥺…………イメージ的には、アコギ弦のミディアムゲージ………そもそも、弦長測らず意外と長くテンション強めな事を知らず😅💦音はまぁなんとも張りの有る良き良き音なので、勿体無いので、暫くこのまま使います😭
