Hello again from Blues Domino just another string review. Actually this is a little bit of an update about the Elixir poly web strings And as you can see with this little close-up shot you can see that the coating on those strings has come off at the pick attack of the string it has right from the beginning. It's not like I played real hard of kind of a hobbyist to play about an hour a day and this is not the only guitar that I play out of that time Play a little blues and rock not anything really heavy but the coating came off of that string And as you can see this string set is just kind of died on us It's seen its last legs Haven't seen a set of strings do this in a long long long time I did pop a bee and an e string in fact two e strings along the way So as far as a quality review is concerned on the Elixir poly web strings I'd give them kind of a thumbs down. In fact, I've got another set of ease I think I'd probably just go ahead and donate to somebody You know the strings sound great. There was a little bit of You know tuning instability once you got the string stretched out and Worn in they were you know pretty good sounding but then the sound just died all of the sudden And of course I was playing last night in that last D string was it so The next strings that we're gonna put on I'm gonna put on what I had before and that was the deodoros the tromes and there are the Warm and melaton flat wound string attend to 48 so it's a little heavier gauge But that's all right, especially if you like to tune down a half a step The one thing that I'm going to change on there is the You know the 20 is a wound string that third string I'm gonna go ahead and change that to a regular turnip ball 18 clean And that's what I did the last time You know I figured I'd try this set of strings out Find out what the whole flat wound Deal was all about you get a little bit of a more mellow sound But the big thing is because they're polished and flat We have a smoother feel to them and they also sound fantastic Tough thing is is with that third wound string and found myself working too hard to bend and That's all I'm gonna go ahead and change that out to a plain string So that'll be the new set in fact, I think this is probably the set of strings if you want Blues domino recommendation as to what strings I should play if I like blues and rock This is be the official one that I would choose would be the deodoros Excel tromes Warm and melaton flat wound 10 to 48 the only thing is is I would go ahead and change that 20 out for an 18 plane And we'll go from there. So we'll go ahead and string it up and let you give a listen Normally I like to do it before and after so you can get a good idea what the tone is but these elixirs Bit the dust a little bit ahead of schedule. So That's the official blues domino review of the elixirs. I give them a thumbs down Wouldn't recommend them to anybody All right, well welcome back from blues domino. We've got the string change taking care of we've got the claw adjusted string sure to stay in Great tune right now tune down half a step to E flat and Evidently the string change was successful because sure enough I pissed off my wife By playing a little of the SRV greatest hits playing along Kind of cranked up a little bit. She's screaming at the top of the lungs I'm trying to get my attention and of course I'm in the middle of you know playing a little voody child and I said behind it's voody child and she didn't understand But anyhow the tone on these set of strings is by far the best that I've experienced if you want a tone like SRV Kenny Wayne Shepherd what have you and all those guys use strats I know they use some kind of version of a Texas single coil pickups and I know that they used a heavier gauge string So that's what this is and the beauty of it is that it's smooth There's no bite on the string Against your fingers so you can cruise up and down the fretboard all night long playing till your heart's content You can bend you can just scream along or you can play nice and mellow too and get all of that warm sound so This is blues dominoes saying that the best set of strings that a person can get Especially for blues is the Deadaro XL chrome And that's the warm and mellow flat wound string and that's the set of 10 to 48 be it in that set they've got a 20 wound the third string I replaced that with an 18 Plane steel so I can get my bends going so So nice nice sweet tone and I suggest y'all go out and try a pair of these strings or set of these strings Play to your heart's content. Let me know in the comments section how you like it That's how I like it. So you guys hope you enjoy it Oh Blues domino out
