Elixir Optiweb 19052 Light 3P

I fiddled around with Elixirs a few times and wasn't able to form a solid opinion until I decided at a certain point to use them on all my guitars, obviously because of their long life. We all know what coated strings are good at but I decided to question the aspects they are known to be bad at. It didn't take me long, however, to realize all the guitars started to sound very close to each other no matter how different they are. For someone who's into vintage guitar tone, I feel they do not have enough transparency to deliver the natural tone of the guitar. They do color the sound of a guitar and reduce its dynamic range to a certain extent. I immediately restringed all those guitars with a non-coated D'Addarios and there we go, every guitar sounds like itself now.
