Theres always a big debate between them and Elixir poly/nano web strings. Personally I like D'addario strings, but thats just me, Theres many people that will disagree with me....hehe

I just put D'addario's on.

I've got the feel for Elixirs. Sound-wise I'm on D'addario side.

Price Wise- Definately D'addario.. 2 packs for 11.94.

Elixirs? $13, $14, $26... Who knows

I'm jumping on this wagon too. I've been around longer on the boards. I'm older, and therefore wiser.

D'adds. :twisted:

Elixers are on my D-28 as of today, but soon to be D'addarios. The true sound is coming...
