Elixir has been around since the mid-90's, and has continued to push and push to create guitar strings that are long-lasting without dramatically losing brightness in tone. Employing scientific methods, the team at Elixir hit the lab and went to work to find the secret to long life strings and great tones. Not only tested by precise equipment, but also by thousands of musicians, trial and error, and then success, led them to their own special coatings. POLYWEB and ultra thin NANOWEB was created, protecting the string from dirt and corrosion thanks to a polymer layer. The result is a tough string with an amazing tone that doesn't need such frequent replacing.

With a very different background, the electric guitar strings from Ernie ball began their life in the early 50's. Enthused by the new developments in the field of electric instruments. Ernie Ball began to make strings for this burgeoning new industry, and struck up a partnership with Leo Fender, Soon he became a tester and endorsee for Fender's guitars. Ernie Ball electric guitar strings have been there throughout the decades since, used by greats such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, through to Eddie Van Halen, Slash and Flea. Ernie Ball strings have been part of the very fabric of Rock'n'Roll since it began. If you've never used them, it's time to keep the famous fluorescent packs of strings in your guitar case.
