Elixir

collapse expand iconDescription

Amp up your guitar’s tone life with the same premium electric guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings.

Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, "uncoated" feel.

For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of electric guitar strings with Elixir's original POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone. 

Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.

The long lasting strings

I got these stringes in April of 08 and they still have the brand new sound,tone,and feel. I like this becasuse I play guitar a LOT,so I always have to change my stringes. There priced higher but it's diffently worth the money. They don't break no matter how much I bend them. I recommend them to any serious guitar players.

Meh strings for the price

Had some strings break on my LP so I restrung using these. They may be a little heavy for my taste - so my fault there, but the buzz in the lower 3 strings is too much. I'm going to restring using different and lighter strings
