Product Description

Jam on and on (and on) with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Crafted to last, these acoustic strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boast a warm, robust tone that sounds “played-in” right out of the pack while still retaining a remarkably clear mid-range presence. The POLYWEB Coating brings a soft, slick, and fast feel to the playing experience. For a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel, try our ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit, especially if you’re also looking for a crisper, brighter, and more vibrant tone. For strings that strike a dynamic balance between full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity, our Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings deliver exactly that alongside our NANOWEB Coating’s more traditional feel. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.

Customers find the strings easy to use. They say that the coating is comfortable sliding from fret to fret even during long playing sessions, and it reduces friction on the fingertips. The strings are great sounding and last longer than any other. They make playing fun and are easy to change tuning. The lighter the strings, the easier it is to change the tuning. They hold the tuning well after the usual break-in, which seems to be shorter.

Customers are mixed about the coating of the musical instrument strings. Some mention that the coating on them means less corrosion and sticking while others say that it comes off within less than a week.

"...No signs of corrosion and they sound fine." Read more

Watch out who is selling these strings!!!
5 Stars
Watch out who is selling these strings!!!
I know these strings very well, I've used nothing but Elixir strings since around 2009, these strings are definitely good, but there is one thing to pay attention to. Look at who the seller of the strings is going to be, a company called Dynamic Duo Distribution sold me a set of strings dated for 2017 and it's now 2022, that is way too old considering they haven't been store in a humidity controlled environment. The strings were more expensive than just going to Guitar Center and buying an actual new set straight from them. Please just keep an eye out for any seller that is not Elixir Strings themselves!!
