Review: Strumming perfection - I recently picked up a pack of Elixir 12152 Electric Guitar Strings, and let me tell you, they're like a breath of fresh air for my guitar. I've been playing for years, and I've tried all sorts of strings, but these stand out in a league of their own. The first thing I noticed was the longevity. I'm the kind of player who goes through strings like there's no tomorrow, especially with daily practice and regular gigs. But these Elixir strings have an incredible lifespan. I've been playing them hard for weeks, and they still sound as fresh and bright as the day I put them on. It's almost like they have a superpower against wear and tear. But longevity is just the start. The tone is what really got me. It's rich, clear, and has this beautiful, resonant quality that brings out the best in my guitar. Whether I'm playing soulful blues or high-energy rock, these strings deliver a consistent, superior sound that never fails to impress. Installation was a breeze too. I remember stringing up my guitar and feeling how smoothly they went on. And once tuned, they held their pitch like a dream, saving me from the constant retuning I had to do with other brands. And let's talk about comfort. These strings feel fantastic under my fingers. Smooth, with just the right amount of tension, they make playing for hours feel effortless. No more sore fingers or struggling to get the perfect bend. In summary, if you're an electric guitar player looking for strings that offer durability, exceptional tone, ease of use, and comfort, then the Elixir 12152 Strings are your best bet. They've transformed my guitar playing experience, and I can't recommend them enough. Five stars isn't enough for these little wonders!
Review: Great strings which sound good and play well. - I buy these for my son and he loves them. They are more expensive than most but it works out much cheaper in the long run because they last much longer than any other brands he has used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use these strings for an electro acoustic guitar**
A: I haven't heard of anyone using Electric Strings on Electro-Acoustic guitar - regular Acoustic stringing is what I hear and know of and they work well. My knowledge is  however, that there are manufacturers who do make custom strings for E-A guitars, I just don't know of anyone using them.

**Q: being using polywebs for years, and they last forever!, are these as good as promised? are the plain strings treated as well?**
A: HI mateI haven't used polywebs,  they ' re supposed to be warmer sounded than these. I use elixir mostly on my practice /rehearsal guitar where tone is not the first priority and they do seem to last. Don't know if I'd use them for recording,  at least for clean tones after a whileHope I helped!

**Q: what are the individual gauge of each string 011 - - - - 54  ?**
A: there is no 11-54 gauge elixir set.

11-49 = 11 14 18 28 38 49

Ernie ball make a Beefy Slinky set which is 11-54 
11 15 22p 30 42 54

**Q: Are the 10-56 really 56 at thickest one? Because picture says 10-46**
A: I use Elixir 9/42 and 10/46 electric guitar strings for their bright, long-lasting tone, on my 6 string guitars.. The 10/56 guitar strings are only suitable for 7-string guitars.
