    I just bought an electric acoustic guitar. It is the same model that I already own, but it has a few features that mine did not. The seller tells me that it has Elixer 11s (bronze?) But they feel even tighter than the 12s on my other one. Are Elixers particularly "tight?"

    I've tried two strats that were radically different in perceived tension while the specs and string gauges were the same, so it could be your particular guitar. I can't speak for Elixirs myself as I always throw them away. I don't shrink wrap my guitars so why would I use shrink wrapped strings, lol.

    D'Addario lists the tensions of all their strings on the website. It's not hard to compare different strings there.
