Hello all,
my first post here ever, but I have been lurking ;) anyway, Elixir puts out a polyweb ( film/coating wears off looks like frayed string as it wears) and they put out the nanoweb. I have used both, I prefer the nanoweb for they keep the brightest / clearest tone almost the entire life of the string and they last a good long time, unless you are a thrasher and pound the hell out of them. The polyweb style work pretty good too, but the string starts turning black on the fretboard end and they get the frayed look I mentioned earlier. The sound doesn't hold up as well either the more worn they become. The firewires mentioned remind me alot of the old Gibson britewires you could get back in the late 70's early 80's
