Description
Elixir’s 19002 set brings Super Light 9-42 gauges to nickel-plated steel electric strings finished with OPTIWEB coating technology. The idea behind OPTIWEB is simple: give players the crisp, bright attack and natural grip of a bare string while still protecting it from the gunk that usually kills tone early.
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for classic electric tone
- OPTIWEB coating preserves an uncoated feel and playable texture under the fingers
- Coating resists corrosion and buildup from sweat, oils, and debris
- Plain steel strings carry Anti-Rust Plating so the whole set ages evenly
- Designed to outlast both coated and uncoated strings from other brands in tone life*
Because the coating is thin, it doesn’t mute the string’s response or add the slick, coated feel some players dislike. You still get the snap and clarity of a fresh set, just stretched out over a much longer stretch of playing time. That means fewer string changes, less money spent restringing, and more time actually plugged in and playing.
This Super Light 9-42 set suits players who want lower tension for easier bending and fretting without giving up tone life or reliability. It’s a solid pick whether you’re outfitting a main gigging guitar or keeping a spare set on hand.
