Ref The Martin Lifespan 2.0s, a few days in they are feeling just a little draggy, still sound really good but not as smooth to play as the Elixir nanowebs.
The Elixirs are a little more 'slippery' and so I find one can get more 'physical' so to speak with uncoated strings.
I totally agree re: the slightly brittle / bright sound of Elixirs - but I find that's only for the first couple of days. After two days Elixirs lose that initial irritating brightness - and then they stay stable for months and months. And nothing else comes close...
'String sqeak' is also significantly less - and that makes a real difference whilst recording, especially if you want add a little top-end eq while mixing.
This is something I recorded with a month old set of Elixirs - no eq or processing, just used the mic on my MacBook...
Typo: Those strings were SIX months old...
I have since tried out daddario xp 12's and by God are they superb string's on both guitar's so much so I've ordered 10 sets to see me though the following years
Give em a try you will love em
I get less than two good weeks out of silk and steels despite slightly preferring the tone, so six month old Elixirs sound way better than three week old silk and steels for me.
Lovely playing and singing btw.
And I'm back in the UK in a couple of weeks so might finally pick up some Newtones (if I remember..)
biggest problem is the plastic A tuner disintegrated so i need to get new'uns fitted
Really rather disappointed and not sure where I'll go next.
My feedback thread is here.
