Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There's NO SUCH THING as a "best string". From experimenting over the years, I've found that, while I have "old standbys" that will be the first thing I try, often there is a string that is just right for a particular guitar and it varies from guitar to guitar.
Coated strings have become all the rage over the last few years. They're expensive, but they last a lot longer, especially if you have the kind of body chemistry that causes them to corrode quickly. Also, they minimize the amount of finger noise you get if you slide on the strings.
Elixir Polywebs were the first coated string. The coating is much heavier than that of other strings. This produces a much less bright, more muted sound. I have an old koa guitar that is so bright I can't stand it with standard strings. The Elixir Polywebs tone it down to the point where it's perfect.
If you're looking for a darker sound, then Elixir Polywebs are definitely worth a shot. If you want a coated string but prefer the brighter sound of uncoated strings, then you definitely don't want Polywebs.
The 4 stars applies if you want this particular type of sound. If you don't want this sound, you could end up awarding them 1 star.

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". In addition, Polyweb coated strings feel comfortably smooth and help reduce finger squeaks.
