Description
Elixir built OPTIWEB Coating to answer a common complaint about coated strings: that they feel too slick or muted compared to a plain set. This Electric Nickel Plated Steel set in Light/Heavy gauge (.010-.052) uses a thin coating layer over nickel-plated steel wrap wire, aiming to preserve the crisp attack, natural texture and finger grip players associate with uncoated strings.
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a familiar, articulate electric guitar tone
- OPTIWEB Coating maintains a natural feel and playable grip while still guarding against corrosion and grime buildup
- Extended tone life compared to other brands’ coated or uncoated strings, according to Elixir
- Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steel strings helps the full set resist tarnish and hold its tone
- Light/Heavy gauge set: .010, .0135, .017, .026, .036, .052
The practical upside is fewer string changes and less money spent restocking sets, since the coating shields both wrap and plain strings from sweat, oils and everyday debris that normally dull tone. For players who want that raw, natural string experience without giving up Elixir’s long tone life, this set is built to bridge that gap.
