After substantial playing, and towards the end of their stated life you may start to see some fraying of the coating around the high-impact areas (picking position) but that’s pretty much cosmetic and the strings will keep going, and going, and going… ! String sage Ernie Ball reckons it’s made some of the world’s strongest strings with the Paradigm set - and we agree.

Whilst some of the world’s biggest brands have entered the ring, it’s Elixir strings that are arguably the kings of the coated string world. They feature a hexagonal core wire and a nickelplated steel wrap wire to maintain brightness and feel.

This can be most noticeable at the nut as the string passes across it (especially if you are changing between tunings frequently) and also the area where the strings are struck with a pick around by the pickups or soundhole. The lighter the gauge of string, the less tension it produces - and that makes it much easier to play. D’Addario is a string company that has a long history of string making that goes way back to the 1600s in Italy, and the small town of Salle.

In fact, most manufacturers project that coated strings will last around 3 - 5 times longer than a standard uncoated string. There was a time when brands focused purely on coating the wound strings only, but nowadays many have seen the light and insist on coating all 6 strings to help preserve the life and balance of the entire set.
