These strings really are worth the extra money
These are my go-to strings for all my acoustic guitars. They have an excellent, balanced sound and are very easy playing. They also don't corrode and go bad so they last a long time. I have them on both my Yamaha FG830 six-string guitars and they sound fantastic. They really shine on my two twelve-string guitars (a Mitchell and a cheap Vangoa), making them sound an play like much more expensive guitars. If you're on the fence because of the higher price, they are absolutely worth it.

Elixir 80/20 Bronze very nice strings a recommended buy
I'm a believer, you should try them,, I recently put some " Bernie All" strings on my favorite acoustic and I don't know why so many people raved about how great they were??? IDID NOT like the feel or sound or anything about them. I was about to order some more "Smartin" strings but I was reading on a couple of web sites how a lot of people are switching over to these Elixir 80/20 strings and having good experiences with them, so I took a chance and got a set. I really like them and they sound great plus they aren't tearing my fingers up. As " Guitarzan " would say I'm making A and E working on B , dig C&W and R&B and me and the Chimpanzee agree these string are great for me.. So if you like a light string with good brightness and crisp tone I would highly recommend these Elixir 80/20 Bronze with NANOWEB Tech, try-em you'll like-em

Long-Lasting Tone
These Elixir acoustic guitar strings are outstanding. They produce a bright, rich tone and feel incredibly smooth to play. What I love most is how long they last compared to other brands—they stay fresh and keep their sound for weeks. They’re easy to install, comfortable on the fingers, and perfect for both practice and live performances. I highly recommend them to any guitarist looking for premium-quality strings.

Amazing Warm and bright tone
These are some of the best strings I’ve used. I put them on my Sheeran by Lowden Equals Signature guitar and they made the guitar sound so bright. The strings are bright and warm and not hard to press down. Would definitely buy again.

Too much of a good thing?
These strings really made me question what I wanted in a guitar string. Going into these strings, I've played on various brands, including Ernie Balls, and always loved the pop and sparkle of new strings. I'd heard that Elixir essentially provides just that, but for longer. A win-win, right? I pulled these bad boys out pf the package and threw them on my Yamaha FG-435, my trusty acoustic. Sure enough, they were bright. Oh, god, were they bright. Compared to my old, dead strings, which sounded musty, and well, dead, these strings sounded like pots and pans being thrown down a flight of stairs, or my drummer hitting his china crash cymbal. So much sustain! So many harmonics! Such detailed tone! I felt overwhelmed by too much of a good thing. A month or so down the line, these strings have definitely mellowed out a bit. They retain a lot of that sparkle and snap that I'd usually associate with new strings, and have lost much of the abrasive, overbearing qualities that they had fresh out of the nitrogen purged plastic packaging. While they certainly aren't subtle, I would no longer call them brash, and I've come around to enjoying playing them quite a bit. The plasticy exterior feels great, so they're fun to bend and slide on. I'd certainly gig on these strings. I came into this purchase expecting the best strings I've ever owned, and in some ways, I got what I wished for. They're bright, retain many of the qualities of fresh strings for much longer than their non-coated brethren, and feel nice under my fingers. In other ways, I really did not enjoy the sound fresh out of the box, and the strings lack some of the subtle low tone of other strings. I certainly feel like I got my money's worth (I've got about two months on these string, and would guess I could get around six more at least), but I'm not ready to call these strings God's gift to acoustics. My next pair of strings will probably be uncoated, but it's certainly possibly that I will return to coated strings and Elixirs in the future. If you want a string that feels and sounds fresh and bright for much longer than traditional strings, than this is it. But, be careful what you wish for.

Big Baby Taylor String of Choice!
If you have a Big Baby Taylor and are looking for this right strings...look no further. For the last 3 months I've replaced my strings at a rate of every 2 weeks looking for that right sound. While the Big Baby comes stock with Elixir Phosphor Bronze Lights, I wasn't too keen on the tingy sound it produced. I really don't like Phosphorous Bronze on any guitar, but I guess some do, hence why they are standard on most Taylors. Not to say I won't switch between the two, I just might prefer the 80/20 way more. Now, I was looking for play-ability, durability, and acoustics in my daily string. They had to be light on the fingers, produce good sound, and just all around feel right. Well, after much looking I came back to my first purchase (these babies) Elixir 80/20 Bronze NanoWeb Lights. I've tried the D'Addario, I've tried basic strings, I've tried Mediums, Phosphorous, etc. etc. Nothing beats these. They are a perfect match for the Big Baby Taylor. Nice bright and old school sound. None of this new tingy Phosphorous sound. So down falls....It seems the coating wears quite quickly with daily playing, in the realm of 3-4 weeks. But hey they are cheap enough and still sound fine even with a worn coating. You could definitely get a few months out of these with some peeling of the coating. I have yet to try the Polyweb which is suppose to be a thicker coating. On a side note, being a super health conscious person I've looked for research regarding the health impact of Fluorocarbon (the coating Elixir uses by Dupont) and human absorption through skin. While I know so many companies just use these chemicals cause they work, most really don't study the health effects of these chemicals on users. Well, I'm here to conclude that I'm still on the fence of the coating issue. While most research say yes non-cured fluorocarbon cause disease and cancer and is found in the blood over periods of time of users of fluorocarbon, then no cured fluorocarbon does not because it provides such a strong bond between the fluoride and carbon molecules (those who don't know fluoride is toxic to the body and thyroid don't buy fluoride toothpaste). While I don't fully believe this research and found that many people have unnatural fluorocarbon floating around in their blood (possible carcinogen) we are still at risk. Anyways, that doesn't really deter me from purchasing these. I guess what I'm saying is I'll take the risk and keep sweating the toxic junk out (sweat is the only proven way to rid the body of man-made chemicals like fluorocarbon...thanks dupont for the chemicals you so lovingly provide us with). To conclude, stay healthy and keep jamming! Life is short and stressful; jamming cures all.

My new go to strings
These are now my go-to strings. They have a softer feel, with a natural bloom in the bass and layered sustain in the trebles. They also last a long time.
