Anyone experience this after stringing up their guitar?** A: I'm assuming you put on same gauge strings for it not to be a problem before you restringed the guitar and it only one string in the middle where the neck meets the body I think it's your action and check intonation but that's weird only the d string 🤨 **Q: I don't know what went wrong. A string broke under a week after I put the polyweb mediums on. Why did this happen?** A: The only thing that I know of to cause that is over tension. Which I have done in the past by not realizing that I was tuning the string an octave higher that I should have. I don't remember which string it was but I had over tighten it while watching the tuner and tuned to the wrong octave. The string broke the next day, I ask a luthier what could have happened, he gave me the probable cause. When I replaced the string I was more careful tuning and realized that he was right I had over tighten the string. So that is something to consider as a possible cause. Since that happened a few years ago I have change many strings and never had it happen again. **Q: Why is this cheaper than nanoweb coating? Also is the coating poisonous in any way?** A: They last longer than nanoweb. I like them better ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Strings, Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with POLYWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Warm Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Super Light 9-42 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with POLYWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Warm Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Extra Light 10-47 - Elixir Strings 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Extra Light (.010-.047) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/294588954-elixir-12000-super-light-polyweb-electric-guitar-strings](https://www.desertcart.at/products/294588954-elixir-12000-super-light-polyweb-electric-guitar-strings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
