Elixir offers both Nanoweb and Polyweb coated guitar strings in various gauges to suit every player's taste. The special coating gives a well - balanced tone and a smooth, responsive feel. It significantly reduces finger squeak while lasting 3 - 5 times longer than regular strings. This is because the coating protects the strings from sweat and dirt. With Elixir strings, you'll need to buy fewer sets and change them less often, helping you save money.
Using these Elixir 8 - string baritone acoustic guitar strings is easy. First, loosen the old strings on your guitar and remove them. Then, start threading the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune each string to the right pitch. Remember, when you're playing, try not to press too hard on the strings to keep finger squeak to a minimum. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean, dry cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help the coating last longer. Also, store your guitar in a dry place to prevent any rust or damage to the strings. If you notice a significant change in the tone or feel of the strings, it might be time to replace them.
