Description
Elixir’s 12025 Custom Light set (.009-.046) is built for guitarists who want extended tone life without sacrificing playability. Rather than coating just the string’s surface, Elixir applies POLYWEB Coating over the entire string, sealing the microscopic gaps between windings where grime, sweat, and oxidation usually settle in and dull tone over time.
The plain steel strings in this set feature Anti-Rust Plating, helping the whole set resist corrosion and hold its voice longer between changes. That means fewer restrings, less cost, and more consistent playing sessions. Tonally, the nickel-plated steel wrap delivers a warm, full-bodied character, while POLYWEB Coating adds a soft, fast-playing feel that many players find easier on the fingers during long sessions.
- Gauge: Custom Light, .009-.046

If you’re chasing a brighter, snappier attack with a bit more feel of an uncoated string, Elixir’s NANOWEB Coating is worth exploring. Want something closer to a traditional uncoated feel and tone entirely? Their OPTIWEB line is designed for that. Every player’s preference is different, so it’s worth trying a few coatings to find the one that matches your touch and tone goals. Elixir Strings has built its reputation on one simple promise: great tone that lasts.
