Our verdict

A bulk supply of coated light gauge acoustic strings for players and teachers who restring often. Coated strings feel slicker than bare ones, and these suit steel string acoustics only.

Overview

Restringing a classroom of guitars or a gigging acoustic all year is simpler with this twelve pack of Elixir light phosphor bronze sets. A thin Nanoweb polymer coating shields the windings from grime.

Coated windings last longer between changes and cut finger squeak, and twelve sets cover a year of regular restrings. Players who dislike any coated feel should choose plain bronze.

Who it's for

Teachers, studios and players who change strings monthly get long lasting light sets in bulk. Electric and classical players need different strings.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Twelve sets in one purchase
  • Coating protects windings
  • Less finger squeak
  • Natural feel despite coating
Cons
  • Coated feel not for everyone
  • Light gauge only
  • Large quantity for occasional players

Performance notes

The polymer coating seals the windings against sweat and dirt that dull tone, so sets sound fresh longer. Light gauge lowers tension for easier fretting and bending.
