Description
Elixir built its reputation on coated strings that actually outlast the competition, and this Acoustic Phosphor Bronze NANOWEB set in Extra Light .010-.047 gauge is a prime example. Phosphor bronze windings give you that familiar blend of warmth and top-end shimmer acoustic players lean on, while Elixir’s coating technology sets the set apart from standard bronze strings.
Unlike coatings that only cover the outer surface, Elixir applies an ultra-thin layer around the entire string, sealing the gaps between windings where grime, sweat, and skin oils typically settle in and choke tone. The result is a string that keeps its acoustic character far longer than uncoated strings and most other coated alternatives, so you’re not retuning and reshaping your sound every few sessions.
Beyond longevity, the coating gives the set a notably smooth, low-friction feel that’s gentle on fingertips and helps with fretting-hand speed and comfort. It also cuts down on finger squeak, a real plus if you’re recording or playing live and don’t want string noise creeping into the mix. The plain steel strings in the set carry anti-rust plating, guarding against the corrosion that dulls tone and shortens the life of an otherwise good set.
Highlights:
- Phosphor bronze construction for warm, bright acoustic tone
- Full-string NANOWEB coating seals out gunk between windings
- Extended tone life versus uncoated and other coated strings
- Smooth, finger-friendly feel with reduced string squeak
- Anti-rust plated plain steel strings for longer set life
- Extra Light gauge: .010-.047
Fewer string changes, more consistent tone, more time actually playing.
