Description
Fill in a missing gauge or build your own custom set with this single Elixir Electric Nickel Plated Steel string, .036, wrapped in Elixir’s POLYWEB coating. Elixir pioneered coated strings specifically to solve the problem of wound strings losing their tone and playability too quickly, and this .036 delivers exactly that longevity without dulling the sound.
POLYWEB coating gives the string a rounder, more broken-in character right out of the pack, along with a noticeably smooth surface under the fingers. That softer feel also cuts down on the squeaky finger noise that can creep into recordings or quiet acoustic passages, making it a favorite among players who value a quieter left-hand technique.
Don’t mistake the comfortable feel for a loss of edge – this string still delivers the bright attack and punch you’d expect from an uncoated nickel plated steel string, just with a coating that protects the winding from sweat, oil, and grime that normally kill tone over time.
- Nickel Plated Steel construction with POLYWEB coating
- .036 gauge, sold individually
- Retains the bright, punchy tone of non-coated strings
- Feels like a traditional uncoated string
- From Elixir, the original coated string
Ideal for electric guitarists who want to replace a single string, keep a spare on hand, or piece together a custom hybrid gauge set at String Central.
