Are the Elixir 14777 NanoWeb strings compatible with alternate tunings like Drop C, or do they lose tension or intonation more quickly compared to standard tuning?

Yes, the Elixir 14777 NanoWeb strings are compatible with alternate tunings like Drop C, but since they are light gauge (10-46), you may notice less tension and faster loss of intonation compared to standard tuning. For better tension and stability in lower tunings, consider using a heavier gauge string.

Do Elixir 14777 NanoWeb strings have a noticeably different feel compared to the OptiWeb coating, especially in terms of slide noise and finger resistance?

Yes, Elixir 14777 NanoWeb strings do feel noticeably different compared to OptiWeb strings. NanoWeb coating gives the strings a smoother, slicker feel with less finger resistance, making it easier to slide along the fretboard and reducing slide noise. OptiWeb has a more natural, traditional feel and a little more grip, which some players prefer for control, but it can have slightly more slide noise than NanoWeb. So, if you prioritize a smooth feel with minimal slide noise, the NanoWeb would be the better choice.
