Description
Twelve-string acoustics demand a lot from a string set — double the strings, double the chances for dead spots and finger fatigue. Elixir’s 11152 Light set answers with an 80/20 Bronze alloy tuned for a lively, chiming top end, wrapped in the brand’s signature Nanoweb coating so that brightness has staying power.
- Nanoweb coating covers the entire string, not just the winding gaps, sealing out grime and sweat that normally dull tone over time
- Players consistently note their tone outlasts both uncoated and other coated strings on the market
- Strings arrive ready to perform — no lengthy break-in period needed for consistent pitch and feel
- Coating creates a smoother surface texture, easing finger travel and reducing squeak during quiet passages or studio takes
- Plain steel strings carry anti-rust plating, guarding the uncoated components against corrosion so the whole set ages evenly
- Fewer string changes mean more time actually playing rather than restringing
This is the Light gauge 12-string configuration, running .010 .014 .023 .030 .039 .047 for the primary strings paired with .010 .014 .009 .012 .018 .027 for the octave/unison strings — giving you that signature 12-string shimmer without sacrificing tone longevity.
