Review: 10/10 - These are the best quality strings I’ve ever used. Other brands’ strings usually start to corrode after 2 weeks of use. These strings don’t even show wear until a couple of months of use. They have a great sound and they feel great.
Review: Best strings I've ever purchased - I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does this 3 pack cost $70 when a single pack is $13? Does this have something extra?**
A: Don’t buy it.

**Q: Do these work with a First Act electric guitar?**
A: If it's an electric guitar with magnetic pickup in the usual places, then they'll work just fine. I never heard of "First Act" guitars though.

**Q: How many strings in a set?**
A: There are six strings in each set.

**Q: What is the difference between the nanoweb guitar strings and the optiweb?**
A: The coating is thinner on the optiwebs than the nanowebs, giving the strings a more "natural" feel, and a bit brighter tone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strings I've ever purchased
*by A***D on August 1, 2025*

I got my first set of these strings Oct 5th 2022 here we are 2 months short of 3 years and the high E string broke so I'm here to get a new set. Best money I ever spent on guitar strings. The strings still sound amazing if the high e hadn't broke I wouldn't even be replacing them yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for floating trem systems!
*by A***R on February 9, 2025*

High quality strings with a long life and stellar tone. Have been a Slinky guy the whole 25 years of playing. Recently purchased a Double locking trem system, and didn't want strings that go dull after a few practices since setting up a floating bridge is fairly time consuming. These strings go a long long way. Only change them when one breaks. Even a new string when an older set matches tone once broken in, which only takes about a week so you don't need to change the whole every time a string breaks. More money up front saves you a bunch of money down the road with Elixirs. And the tone and feel is top notch! If you have a floating trem system I highly recommend using Elixir!
