Elixir .009 Plain Steel Single String

Who hasn't broke an E string on their guitar? It happens all the time, so if you're in a live situation, or just don't want to change the other strings because they still sound great, the best is to have a good replacement around. These elixir singles are pretty good sounding and long lasting, so you can keep them in your guitar case for a long time without no problems, since they have an anti-corrosion coating.

Due to sweating, my strings usually last a day or two before corroding. After that come problems with intonation and string breaking. With Elixir strings, these problems are gone.
Yes, string breaking still happens due to aggressive playing, but much less often than with other strings. I recently tried the Ernie Ball PARADIGM and was totally disappointed because the strings were destroyed after only two days of playing and they are not cheap. They immediately ended up in the trash and were replaced with Elixir strings.

Fitting new Elixir strings to my 12-string acoustic I managed to snap the high octave G string even though I was tuning down by a semitone, so I had to borrow a .009 gauge string from a new pack of Ernie Ball super slinkys ... and hence the need to stock up with some .009 single string replacements. These are not nanoweb coated like the full set I was fitting to my 12 string which do not appear to be available as single strings but at this gauge it is no problem.

I use these strings for a long time now. And they are the only strings that do not rust or lose any tone for a long time.
The strings feel less loose than the other brands, though. It almost feels like gage 010.
It is absolutely worth the money if you have troubles with rusting strings.

They sound awesome and they don't corrode as easily as other brands. The price may be a bit on the higher end but is definitely worth it if your sweat is rusting other brands in a week. Amazing in general.

Good exchange if you ever break an Elixir

It's coated, which makes it very resistant to corrosion until you damage the coating with picking. Even then it only corrodes at the damaged part, leaving most of the string shiny.

best spare string ever.

These strings are always great. I wouldn't use anything else.

Best strings for me.! I use them many years and somethimes buy another brand for test but everytimes i return to Elixir!
