Daddario XTE0942 Super Light

When Thomann ran out of my normal Elixir Optiweb (that I love) I tried these from Daddario instead. They were almost as expensive as the Elixir so my expectations were fairly high.

The reason for me to use coated strings is that my fingers sweat a lot and that makes the string rust/corrode which makes it difficult to play.

These XTE strings didn't help at all. In fact there were almost worse at handling sweat than the uncoated EB slinky's I used to play.
At the same time I find that the sound from the XTE's is harsh and thin-like. It didn't sound good to me at all.

I had the strings on for one day and then replaced them with some uncoated strings until I got a new shipment of Elixir's.

Now this is just my experince and it can of course vary a lot from player to player. But personally I can NOT recomend these strings to players who struggle with sweaty fingers and string corrosion.
