Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To make it quick and short, check your strings to make sure you received the real Elixir Nanoweb strings, even if it's sold by Amazon (mine were both shipped AND sold by Amazon). Interesting observations: Either these aren't official Elixir strings or Elixir is cutting corners on their Nanoweb coating. The glossy and cheap feeling box raised my eyebrow which caused me to conduct these tests. 1. Nanoweb coating should insulate electric current. These strings are clearly conducting and not coated with Nanoweb. I took the old strings currently on my D-35 for comparison, results were clear. 2. There should be obvious signs of Nanoweb coating on the strings starting from the base where the little metal o-ring is. Comparing my current authentic strings to the one I just received, there's a clear distinction on which has the coating. The coating also makes the strings look rose gold.
