Elixir guitar strings, originally uploaded by Eric Jeschke. Key: R20080321-115531

As you can see, there are BOTH 80/20 bronze and Phosphor bronze strings in custom light (11’s)–I was wondering about this in my previous post.

The owner of the guitar store said he didn’t hear much difference–said the Phosphor bronze were a little “brighter”. He didn’t have much to say about wear and tear. I bought a set of both and will report back what I thought of them. They are the same price, so it’s mostly a matter of opinion, I suppose.
