Location: SE Michigan | I tried the elixir PB's but I did not care for them, they never settled down and were too bright and jangly for my tastes. I went back to the 80/20's, which start out a bit bright but mellow out nicely and last a long time. |

Location: SoCal | I like the Elixir PB's on both my 1537 (mediums) and my FD14 (mixed set -- light mediums). But not on either my 87C or GCDB. I think I've got D'Addario lights on both of them right now. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Elixers are OK for slide playing but I'd rather have a set of 1818 or the exp equlivent for regular acoustic playing. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I've about used up my dozen sets of the 1818s. I've bought a couple guitars that came with new strings and haven't changed the old ones as often as I should have. |
