Hey guys!
I’m very happy to announce that I’ve now got an endorsement deal with Elixir Strings!
It all happened very fast; They called me up last week, then I met them over lunch yesterday, we talked for an hour or so and then signed the contract. They also asked if I was interested in playing at guitar shows, clinics and stuff like that. So i’m very excited about it!

That's amazing Marcus. Congratulations and you definitely deserve it.
Awsome news! Thats a big name
This is your ticket to fame Marcus !!!
Many congratulations
Wow gratz Marcus! as Deeproots says could be just what you need to be on your way!
Excellent news
congratulations Markus, Its awesome to see our instructors in the road to success.
YES!!! Way to go Marcus!! That's awesome news!!
I can't think of a more deserving person!
Elixir makes great strings. How did they hear about you?
Edit: does this mean you have to change your instructor info to read "what strings do you use?" answer "elixir!"
Wow great well done
Congrats Marcus - that's fabulous. I use Elixer's on my acoustics but my muso friends always talk me out of trying them on the electrics becuase they say that the tone suffers too much - obviously you don't think this, I imagine you play mostly electric? So maybe I need to test them out after all...
Thanks a lot guys!!
That is amazing news Marcus. Congrats!!!!
I'm sure more folks will be knocking at your door before long. Amazing acheivment for an amazing guitarist and a pretty darn nice guy too Congrats again.

Beautiful news Marcus,my congrats,well deserved!!!
great Marcus! I use elixir on my acoustic. because they sound good for so much longer!! Great strings! But for my electrics strings brake for other reasons then just age so I´ll go medium cheap ones there.
Just awsome with endorsement
Hey Marcus that's great!
Just don't forget us GMCer's when you're on your world tour

Now it is time to do some guitar clinics in the big german city Michelstadt!
Excellent Marcus!
I'm thrilled for you! :-)
Wow that's really great! you'r first step to greatness
Thanks Iluha!
I think the first step was GMC though

Congrats Marcus, you really deserve it. You have not only one of the best techniques I have ever seen, but your soul in the playing is pretty much unparalleled which to me is the most important quality in guitar playing.
Cheers,
Joe
Congrats!!! maybe i should post a bunch of guitar solo videos on youtube and see if i get anyhting!
oh yeah, I've been to you and Kris' hometowns in sweden!!! best country ever!
Well, you are probably the BEST "unknown" guitarist i've ever heard.
So I'm really happy for you, you deserved it. I hope you get more fans, then you will feel you need to release your first CD!
. Congrats again.
Congratulations, I'm really pleased for you
Awesome News!!
Maybe you could do some clinics down in St. Pete Florida in the future
Congratulations Im sure this will help you on the road to stardum It must feel awsome!
Wow, this is great news. If anyone on this site deserves success it's you!
Oh my goodness! This is great Marcus! Maybe you will be able to have your own studio soon enough after all. I wish only the best for you in the future!
Congratulations Marcus! I'm really happy for you, this is an awesome thing to happen to you and I can't wait to see where you go. Like everyone else said, you're a great guitarist.
Ooh yeah forgot to mention, I use elixirs as well Though I haven't been able to get a hand on any 9's, this is my second pack of 10s but I love em anyway.
Thank you all for your kind comments!
Great news!!! And how funny, I think muris switched to Elixir a couple of days ago then someone had a post about that you should do a clinic in Gothenburg and now you're switching to Elixir and will be doing clinics.
I'm excited to see what the next deal is going to be!
Happy for you!
Congrats Marcus! This is a fantastic achievement, I thoroughly enjoy all your lessons and am hanging out for an album I am yet to try Elixir strings but it is nearly time to refresh my strings so i'm going to give the 9 to 46's a go
Keep rocking!
Congrats marcus !
hope this is the start for something big for you

Good job Marcus. You have a very emotionally charged style of play that just immediately takes hold of the listener. Your talent is very unusual. Continued success!
Hey Marcus!
It's a great news! Congrats!
Thanks for the support guys!
How´s it going restringing the few amount of 12 guitars? hahaha..
I don´t know if you had elixirs on any of them to start with... Quite a project anyhow =)
udaman! Congrats!
I always thought your playing was some of the best. Great soul dude.
Im seriously so happy for you . Youve been a big inspiration to me for awhile now and to see my hero succeed makes me feel like I have a big chance to succeed
Thanks Marcus and Good Luck with Everything and keep us updated
Many thanks to all! I appreciate it a lot
Marcus - it's beyond amazing! Really, really BIG congrats to you! Don't forget to send us a ticket or two for your clinics
Marcus. Your picture with the black strat and the hair makes you look like Bryan Adams Sorry if this offends but Bryan Adams is awesome as well. It's a cool look
Dude congratzzz!! You deserve it mate!
Thanks Cherio
Really great Marcus, i'm very happy for you, congratulations..
i'll try someday Elixer Strings too hope i see you soon at clinics in The Netherlands ..
im gonna get some elixer strings next time i head down to the local music store.
I haven't been around much lately,doing more playing and jamming no time for p.c., but i do stop by when I'm on to check on you marcus and this is wonderful news to hear about your endorsement with elixir. I always knew that you were a great player and your soul and emotion is undeniably noticeable. I know in my heart that you will be in for a great ride to come,no gimmicks needed when you play like you do, Peace brother
I bought my first set of Elixir strings last saturday. So Marcus, you can tell them it's starting to pay off
Marcus, you well deserve the honor. I can't wait for youe new lesson. Why it takes that long = = ?
how good are Elixir strings, where I come from they are £8.00 a set which is over double what brands like Dean Markley, D'Addario and Ernie Ball are charging, are they worth paying that much for?!? Do they still last the same length of time, is the tone that much greater to pay over double?!?
Thanks,
Iain!
Hi Iain,
I've used the same set for over 3 months now, and there's no sign at all that I'd need to re-string. According to Elixir they last 5 times longer. I wouldn't say the tone is much greater than other high quality strings (I can barely hear any difference). But they feel more comfortable, and they definitely are high quality! Another thing I like that most Elixir users don't mention, is that the coating makes it a bit smoother to play (since you're not touching the steel). Another plus is that you don't have to clean them as often
I know you can find them at eBay for a better price. So I think you should try one set and see if you like them.
You've had them on for 3 months you say? I put nanowebs on my guitar and the high E snapped after 2 days. They haven't gotten dirty tho, which is nice, I've often made mistakes when sliding because of the friction on dirty strings.
Maby I should try Elexir next time I restring.. But I do not play that often so I never have to re-string.. =)
I use them on my acoustic steelstringed guitar though.. Have to change more often on that one or else tone and tuning gets worse. The elexir strings has kicked the shit out of other brands I tried on the acoustic. I´m changing strings like 2 times a year on that one when I use Elexir.
You don't accidentally have a set you don't need do you? My Schecter are screaming for a restring
Sorry Batista, can't help you there
Darn ^^ Well I think I got a couple of sets with Elixir strings on the shelf myself (followed with my LP), so I might try them then, since they have gotten so good reviews here.
Can't believe I havent posted here yet
Congratulations, Marcus ^^
Any news on the other company you've been in contact with? =)
Hey marcus,
do you use nanoweb or polyweb?
Congrats either way
Thanks bsamn!
I use Nanoweb
