Elixir Guitar Strings last longer Lead guitarist Mark LafonLead guitarist Mark Lafon, of the Texas-based Jay Johnson Band, says he usually goes through a pack of guitar strings in three days. But, Elixir Strings, the pioneer in long-life string technology, has changed all that. During a recent field trial, Elixir Strings new Anti-Rust Plated Steel Strings withstood the test of time and tone lasting for more than two weeks with no discernable change in tonal quality. “That’s unheard of for strings to last me that long,” said Lafon, who’s been playing guitar for more than 20 years.Elixir Strings innovative new Anti-Rust Plated Steel Strings have the feel and sound of traditional strings, but last up to three times longer without corroding. “The strings that I normally use are just not durable enough,” said Lafon. “But the Elixir Strings were great. The tone stayed true throughout the two weeks and they didn’t rust at all. They’re a great deal.” “Elixir Strings revolutionized the guitar string industry with coated strings when we provided a valuable solution for preserving the tone life of wound strings,” said Craig Theorin, Product Manager, Elixir Strings. “Our new Anti-Rust technology addresses the same challenge for plain steel strings. Guitar players no longer have to face rusty plain steels when leaving strings on for an extended period of time.” Further, Lafon explained that for anyone that tends to sweat or has oily skin, the new Elixir Strings Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings are even more valuable. “I have a tendency to sweat heavily when I play and with other strings it doesn’t matter how much you wipe the guitar off and clean the strings—they still rust,” said Lafon. “But with Elixir Strings I don’t have that problem.” Lafon added that he’s seen other strings begin to rust within two days. The secret behind Elixir Strings’ new Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings is its proprietary alloy plating that inhibits tone-killing corrosion. Although the new strings last up to three times longer without corroding, they maintain a traditional metallic feel with a crisp, clean tone. Lafon, whose Jay Johnson Band has shared the stage with the likes of Pat Green, Willie Nelson and Jackson Browne, says that he would recommend Elixir Strings Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings to anyone thinking of replacing their current strings. “Using the Elixir Strings helped change my mind about other strings so much that now I use the Elixir Strings all the time,” explained Lafon. Sets of Elixir Strings’ Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings are offered in Super Light, Custom Light, Light, Medium, Light-Heavy, Heavy and Baritone gauges.
