Watch out for 8th string thickness!

Gilly Ribeiro 02.03.2020

I'm a long time user of the Elixir Nanoweb series.
All my guitars are equipped with such strings, varying the gauges depending on tuning and scale length.

This string set was made having in mind multi-scale 8-string guitars. Which is good!
Sound is tip-top, as ever, exactly as you'd expect on an Elixir Nanoweb string set. These are incredibly durable strings, be it tone-wise and resistance to corrosion.

However, there is one thing that has to be of attention on this particular set: the 8th string is a .074 gauge string. The gauge goes all the way from the ball-end until the very tip.
On my guitar (Harley Benton FanFret-8) I had to enlarge the tuner hole to acomodate the string. It is a 1min job, provided you have a Dremel and a metal bit.

Besides that, no other remarks!
As ever, I thoroughly recommend these!

Nice strings that last long

Conrad1988 02.10.2018

These strings are for you if you don't change strings often and if you have corrosive sweat.

As a long time Elixir user, the tone of these strings was exactly as I'd expected. Not as bright as uncoated strings, but they can last me for up to half a year.

Before this set was available, I was using a 10-56 7 string set with an additional 68. That worked for me, but the low end wasn't as tight as could be, but with this set I don't have that problem. The gauge is thick enough to hold the low F#, and it's cheaper than buying a 7 string set + an extra string.

The coating isn't noticeable, and even the plain strings feel natural. If you have really corrosive sweat like me, these are the strings for you.

Best strings - EVER

Playmaster 01.11.2025

This brand is just top, I tried a lot of strings, was even importing expensive custom strings from states, and my conclusion is simple: don't look for other crap when you have your long lasting great tone here for such a good price, I use it on all of my 6 string, 7 string and 8 string guitars, and this will never change.

einmal Elixir, immer Elixir

Iwo A. 19.02.2018

so, es ist soweit, nach gefühlt 500 Anfragen an Elixir und Überfallartige Flachmopanfragen von mit auf der Musikmesse, hat Elixir endlich reagiert.

Bisher musste ich improvisieren um meine Ibanez RG8 mit Elixir Saiten zu bestücken, mit einem 7-ner Satz und einer Einzelnen als #F Sait, klang aber auch nicht 100%

Hiermit, ist alles absolut Stimmig!!! Körpersound der Gitarre sehr warm und rund, am Verstärker spielen alle Sait miteinander. die tiefen B und #F sind weder matschig, noch leiser als die übrigen 6, knackig, durchsätzungsfähig, Obertonreich, einfach geil!
Mit diesem Satz, habe ich alles was mein Herz begehrt gefunden.

Einzige Wermutstropfen, die #F passte nicht durch die Standardöse meiner Ibanez-Mechanik.
Diese musste ich leicht aufbohren.
Fazit, alles klingt, alles schickt, perfekte Saiten für mich und meine 8-ter!
