Overview
An ultra-thin Nanoweb coating wraps the whole of each Elixir string, sealing the gaps between windings where sweat and grime collect. Underneath, phosphor bronze wrap wire gives a rich low end with crisp highs, in two gauge sets.
Tone life is the reason to buy coated strings, and this bundle lets you compare two gauges side by side. The thin coating gives a natural, uncoated feel under the fingers. Neither set suits a twelve string guitar.
Who it's for
Regular players, gigging guitarists and anyone in humid climates who wants strings to sound fresh for longer. Players who restring often for a raw new string sound gain little from coating.
Pros and cons
- Long lasting tone
- Corrosion resistant coating
- Natural feel for a coated string
- Two gauges to compare
- Coating slightly mutes initial brightness
- No heavier gauge in the pair
- Six string sets only
Performance notes
Coating the entire string blocks debris from packing into the windings, which is what dulls tone over time. The custom light set lowers tension for easier bends, while the light set adds volume and drive. Tuning stays steadier as temperature and humidity change.
