“The process of music is from brain to someone’s ear, basically. The less that gets in the way of that little journey, the better,” Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones once said. “Strings are the link between you and the guitar. If they are slowing you up or giving you too much friction or impeding you in any way, that’s something you’ve got to get over.”
Jones surely knows of what he speaks, as he’s utilized Elixir Strings for many years when recording and performing. Now, guitar players of all experience and proficiency levels can try them for themselves as part of a massive promotion between the company and SPIN, which will give away a set of Elixir Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Strings with NANOWEB Coating to the first 2,000 people who sign up at this link.
Elixir Strings boast the longest-lasting tone compared to any string, coated or uncoated, allowing them to sound great from the couch to the gig to the session and everywhere in between. Thanks to their featherweight coatings and anti-rust plating, Elixir Strings are protected against tone-killing debris and will stand up to the sweatiest hands and humidity. Perhaps best of all, players report Elixir Strings prevent finger squeak and stay in tune longer, eliminating constant tuning and helping their guitars sound their best.
While many gear companies produce everything from outboard components to actual instruments, Elixir Strings has only ever made guitar strings for the entirety of its 27 years in business. Whether you’re a novice player unsure of how to even change your strings or an experienced strummer honing your fretting, Elixir Strings will allow you to play with confidence and to trust your gear.
“Especially when you’re first starting out and haven’t built up the calluses yet, a coated string provides great comfort and encourages you to keep on playing and practicing,” says Bill Fabiszewski of Elixir Strings. “You won’t develop the soreness in young fingertips that can be common with an uncoated string. If you’re new to the brand or you may not play as much as what you may want given where you are in your life, a guitar with Elixir Strings is ready to play whenever you are.”
As six-string trailblazer Marcus King says, “When you get your guitar out of the case, the strings still feel fresh even after it’s been sitting there. I just like how long Elixir Strings last. I recommend them to everyone.”
“A lot of our customers have been with us since the brand started, and they talk about how receiving their first set of Elixir Strings was game-changing to them,” Fabiszewski says. “That’s why we feel so strongly about sampling. We believe that once you get these strings on your own guitar in your own setting, and you have a chance to play them for a while, you too will never look back.”
