These are a bit pricy, but if you can afford them, I recommend them. To me, the advantages are 1) they last longer before the intonation goes sour and the treble starts to decay 2) they are quieter, meaning less string/finger squeak 3) they seem extremely uniform and predictable. No hot, dull or buzzy strings out of the box, or bad ball end wraps, which I've experienced using other brands.

Elixirs sound great on all my acoustics, Martin, Taylor and Yamaha. While initially expensive, the 3 for 2, and the longevity of the strings makes them a bargain for me. I use PB on hogs and 80-20's on rosewood. They do seem to have a short break-in period, but I usually string up and set aside for a few days. In all in for Elixir, having used about every string on market over the years, been playing for over 40 years.

When you play guitar outside, your strings decay pretty quickly, unless you've got coated strings for protection. The coating on most coated strings get frayed and buzzy too quickly. A set of Elixirs will last three or four weeks of daily outdoor playing, and virtually never break. I can't imagine how long they'd last if I only played indoors!

These are an absolute must for Taylor Guitars I promise you will not be sorry. I know Taylor has started putting these on their guitars also. So if they are using them then I know I am. They sound beautiful.

These strings will make your high-quality jumbo or dreadnaught guitar sound even better! IMHO not so much for OM and smaller bodied guitars. Yes, they sound wonderful and last longer than regular strings. The best deal is the 2+1 value pack.
