Dude I love your channel! You deserve wayyy more subscribers. Awesome playing, tones, songwriting, and production. As a fellow believer and an old school metal head, your channel is a great find and a breath of fresh air. Keep up the excellent work my friend!

Dang man you really caught my attention with your playing, you can clearly tell you put in the work to make some complicated chords and rhythms sound so clean and natural. And then you dropped lamentations on me I literally shouted with joy. I love finding gifted Believers, may the Lord bless you

bro i legit tried shazaming the song at the start not releasing you wrote it. I love it so much 🤘the video was really helpful aswell, going to buy some 9-42 nano web later this day. Great video

I hate clicking all these reviews that are more into galloping off into random stuff before reviewing the dang product

Totally agree on the optiweb tension, its just too much tension.

Barely see anyone posting from Lamentations, that’s a very heavy book of the Bible for sure! Right on man, praise God!

Just got a set of optiweb 11-49 for an sg in drop c, love em. Came from NYXL 10-52 used since i bought the guitar. The string tension is perfect!

I'm using Nanoweb, last time I changed my strings was 3 years ago. They aren't rusted, they still have a good tone to them. I've only had to intonate them twice since putting them on, they don't sound dead yet. The coating is just now barely starting to peel underneath. Just barely. Strings will last a long time as long as you oil your fretboard and strings every 3 months or so with some lizard spit or some lemon oil/orange oil. I live in a high rain, high humidity area where regular strings like D'addarios would have corroded and rusted already, even with fretboard/string oiling and care. I picked up another pack of Elixirs 2 days ago. I'll probably change the strings after I break one of them or after I notice actual corrosion on the string. I can't believe they still have gloss and shine to them. If it were another brand like Ernie Ball or D'Addario they'd have corroded and broken already. I use to use D'Addario a lot, and I swore by them. But then after my experience with these strings I think these Elixirs are my go-to.

I just bought the Elixir 09/42 OPTIWEB guitar strings package with the acoustic string set. The acoustic strings feel and sound great!! I love them. I haven't tried the electric guitar strings yet and I'm thinking on using the 09/42 OTIWEB set on my EVH Standard guitar. Great review and thank you for the info!! Awesome guitar jam as well!!

I bought my first set of 9-42 Nanowebs in the early 90s, I believe. I haven't bought anything but these sense. I like to play guitar, not maintain guitars. These last an insanely long time, even playing metal.

I know most folks like 10s on Les Pauls but for the sake of trying it, I put 9s Nanoweb on a Les Paul Tribute. To me, it seems like a match made in Heaven. They sound and feel incredible. It seems to play effortlessly.

That is the best I've ever heard an ENGL sound

Hey dude, Thanks for the video. just got a pack of 09/42 nanoweb. Gonna try those on my Ltd mh-10. T2-metalzone dist - MS-70cdr - RC-5 looper, Much fun 😎 Awsome track btw 🤘

Great vid, been watching your vids for quite a while, firstly with your EVH head comparisons for research and currently own a 5150 III 50w 6l6 & El34 and love my 6l6 as my main gig rig through a mesa traditional slant 4x12. Also a long term (@ 15 year) Elixir string user. My gig guitars are both Ibanez 2120xxv prestige models (one used only for gigs, one only for practice) with seymour duncan blackout pickups. Years ago I tried a lot of different string brands (all .009-.042) and at the top end of market the main difference for me was down to feel and longevity as the "tone" was minimal. I change strings between 3-4 gigs (4 hour "sweaty" gigs at the top end of humid Australia) and am a bit heavy on the trem stretches at times and never broken a string. The tone stays, they stretch/tune well and the feel stays constant. I prefer the nanoweb, I do not use "finger ease" or anything similar as I slide a lot when lead playing (slide as in finger movement not with a "slide" guitar style) and they detract from natural feel. For me, the Elixir nano are my favourite, great tone, perfect reliance for gigging and tone quality. My only recommendation is they may last for 10+ gigs but... for 4-5 they are perfectly reliable. Golden rule, never break a sting at a gig!!!!! Love your vids man, look forward to what you shoot next.

Great playing!

Hey cool intro.. I always use Elixir on my acoustic guitars. I have made crap acoustic guitars sound priceless with em lol..and they last for eternity. Looking at trying some for electric..thanks.

Great vid! I'm my experience optiweb have LESS tension than nanoweb

I wish there was a demonstration in sound just clean

Great content!!! Helped a lot !!! Keep the great work going and hope to see you at Million Sun mark 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

I use Optiweb 9-42 on my 25.5" guitars and 10-46 on my 24.75" scale guitars. I use 9.5-44 on my 25" PRS, sadly Elixir doesn't offer that gauge so I have to go with D'addario or Ernie Ball. :( Come on Elixir, give us a nice set of 9.5-44 please.

I restrung my strat with elixirs back in 2019 and the e string only broke yesterday. And I don't piss about either. I love two tone bends and play with thick picks.

Been using Nanoweb since 2010. Tried other sets but won't change from elixir. The tone and life you get out of them is unmatched as far as I've tested.

Thank you for your time and reminder to us all of how good the Lord is. 🤝🙏

Great job as always Eric. I think strings, after a certain level of construction are subjective like most anything else guitar related. I use Curt Mangan strings and have tried the Elixer also. Great strings and as usual it's personal preference. Thanks for the video man.

i‘d rather see back to back soundtest straight to the point. But thanks for the effort :)

Do Nanowebs and Optiwebs have same plain strings or different?

Music sounded amazing.

Awesome playing as always Eric! I've been undecided between these strings so I went with the NANOWEB 9-42 For my RG565 Vampire Kiss, should be here is a few days. Thanks for doing this video!

The Polyweb are terrible, coating feels thick and they peel from pick wear. Nanoweb are fantastic and are what I use. Haven't tried the Optiweb yet.

Can you make a metal/heavy distortion jam review on the OPTIWEB & NANOWEB strings? Thanks Brother!! New subsciber here!!

Just subbed,the only thing I hate about these strings is they're expensive vs other strings,just got them for my leo jaymz lp copy (skull n bones graphic),after I pick it up from shop,came from amazon w the b and g string slots too low from the factory so I bought a pre cut bone nut and glued it and the string height is too high so took it to a shop I trust so it'll be ready in about a week

currently using nanowebs 11-49 on my ephiphone sg usually on low tunings like e flat, D standard, and up to B standard tunings my guess prolly will last around 6 months or more since i do play everyday for more than an hour usually

the optiwabe last almost 1 year and 4 months playing great ............

Answer starts at 4:14

i use elixer green pack

Is it me or does the elixir optiwebs feel more stiff/tigher? Was using nyxl 11-52 but when i used elixir 11-52( 11-14-18-32-42-52 mixed 2sets) i feel they are a bit stiff. Tuned to drop C.. might try a 10-52 opti

I'm considering elixir strings for the 1st time, but the bending thing worries me. So optiwebs are harder to bend, & nanowebs easier, yes?

Which one do you prefer? Nanoweb or optiweb ?

How long did your nanoweb elixir last?

Genius idea to not have a segment with undistorted sound in a demo that's about the strings...

Elixir optiweb is BY FAR best sounding clear string. Tried various EB slinky's, cobalts, Daddario NXL, Hgs Boomers, and others... gauges 9-46, 10-52... NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO ELIXIR. Thing is just that you haveto replace them often... afterall who the f* plays same strings for two months?😮😊

got a 9 46 nanoweb set and solos sound like crap!

I dont think you shared any useful information on these strings, i think you spent more time playing guitar and talking about your guitars than the actual strings and the differences.
