How to choose
The main choices with Elixir are the coating and the gauge. Nanoweb feels more natural, while Polyweb is smoother and warmer.
Beginner
If you are trying Elixir for the first time, choose Nanoweb strings in the same gauge your guitar already uses. For acoustic guitar, Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Light 12-53 is a popular choice. The strings cost more at first, but they last longer, so you change them less often.
Intermediate
If you play regularly, compare coatings and materials. 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb strings sound brighter, while Phosphor Bronze sounds warmer. Polyweb strings suit players who prefer less finger noise. Buying 3-packs lowers the cost per set. Try Elixir bass or electric strings to keep your whole rig consistent.
Expert
At a professional level, Elixir strings help keep tone consistent across long tours and recording sessions. Match the gauge to your setup, and keep single strings for quick replacements. Twelve-string players can use Polyweb 12-string sets. Change strings a day before important shows so they settle and hold tuning.

About Elixir
Ordinary strings lose their tone as sweat and dirt build up in the windings. Elixir coats its strings to protect them, so they keep their bright sound for much longer. That makes them popular with players who do not change strings often, and with gigging players who want reliable tone.
There are two main coatings. Nanoweb feels closer to an uncoated string, and Polyweb gives a warmer tone with a smoother feel.
