Review: Brilliance lasts (way) longer - Great strings. My first time with them. I used to play with Daddario's phosphor bronze (12-52) because they lasted longer than just bronze. I got used to their warmth but always missed the brilliance of bronze alone. After a week or so (actually, less than 10 hours of playing) they also got muted and "brown". These Elixirs have 48 hours on them and still got that bright fresh sound. I love them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference in sound between the 80/20s and the Phosphor Bronze nano web?  I enjoy ease of fingering, warm sound, projection.  Which one?**
A: 80/20s bronze will initially be brighter. Phosphor bronzes will be warmer.  80/20s become warmer after use more quickly and may become undesirable to use more quickly because the strings are no longer giving you the desired tone you started with.  Phosphor bronzes hold their initial tone longer, but are by design, warmer.  Projection (beyond gauge of the strings~heavy vs medium vs light vs extralight) and ease of fingering have much more to do with the guitar you're using, style of playing (use of a pick/how hard you're strumming/finger-picking), and setup (tuning~you drop down a half a step, the strings will have less tension and will be easier to bend).

**Q: I own a Wasburn D10N guitar and can't decide between the Elixir Light Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze and Phosphor bronze.  Any suggestions - spruce top?**
A: I have used almost every brand of strings on my various Martin acoustics. Elixirs stand above the crowd in terms of tone quality. 80/20 bronze bring out the best but need changing about every 2-3 months max for a daily player. Phosphor-bronze have less nuanced tone but still excellent, and seem to last almost twice as long. Recommend 80/20 for the regular player who wants the most "detailed" tone, P-B for more occasional playing and longer life. Discerning players will be happy with either in any case.

**Q: Why do I pay for amazon prime to get 3 day expedited shipping order these strings and ten days later no strings?**
A: Because Jeff Bezo's needs money to pay for his expensive divorce.

**Q: Can someone explain the difference between light and medium strings?**
A: The difference is the diameter (gauge) of each string in the set. The wood and design of the guitar has some bearing on it, but generally speaking, the heavier the strings, the more total volume is possible. Heavier strings are usually "warmer" sounding, and have more defined low end tones, but they also are the hardest on your fingers. Lighter strings often lack the low end warmth or definition people desire, but are easier to play and have a nice ring in the mid-high end. In the end, it all comes down to preference and application. I use Light (12-53) but usually play plugged in. I get even tone and definition when practicing, and can "shape" my sound in my pre-amp on stage. If you have the budget and patience, get 2-3 sets and see what you like the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Baby Taylor String of Choice!
*by S***E on March 27, 2016*

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.
