Elixir Stings

I am going to retring my Shecter with super lights. I am going to try this do to I have a lot of hand pain.. ( getting artritis, getting old sucks...) Any way My son got me The Elixir brand Super light .009- .042> has anyone used these strings? How's the sound...

the word is restring.....LOL

well ive always used ernie ball, so i dont have any experiance with elixir's.

but 9's have a light kind of sound, i think they sound great for anything clean. they sound good for classic rock, but they arnt great for anything heavy.

they're very easy to work with because they're so thin. bends, tapping, anything- its easier the thinner you go.

All I know is their acoustic strings sound absolutely amazing... probably, in my opinion the best sounding strings out there for acoustics. Not so sure about their electric strings though I use GHS and Ernie Ball mostly. I'm sure they sound great though.

I've been using the acoustic strings for a while now and i agree, they are the best sounding and longest lasting strings i have ever used. I'll be sticking with them!! Anyway to answer you're question, I've recently experimented with Elixirs on my electrics and have found them to be just as good as the Ernie Balls I normally use, the only difference being that they are not quite so bright when you first put them on as the EB's, but after a couple of gigs or rehearsals when the EB's have died, the Elixirs keep going strong. I use 10's not 9's but I wouldn't have thought this would make any difference. If you're a player who doesn't gig and you don't want the hassle of restringing every 5 minutes to get that new string tone, then i would recommend Elixirs. Worth the extra cost for much longer string life, in my opinion. Hope this helps.
