Why use ELIXIR Strings

Why use ELIXIR Strings

Elixir

Description

Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic 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. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set.

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

Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. 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 strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings.

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.

    It was easy to re-string, and was plenty worth it. I also use Elixir on my 6 string, and I never looked back. It wont fix a bad sounding guitar, but it will improve every guitar's sound, and it will last longer. Great tone.

    I have been using Elixer strings on my 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars for several years. They give me the exact sound that I look for whether I am processing the sound or playing totally dry. These strings might be a little more expensive than most other strings but they also last longer than any other strings I have ever used. So, in the long run, they are less expensive. Highly recommend.

    I was a bit of a string junky always on a quest for the perfect stings. Some strings sounded great but went dead in a week. Once I discovers Elixirs my search was over great feel great sound and I really can't tell you how long the last. I change them anually but the news one don't sound any better. I've come to the end of EXP's but I've NEVER killed a set of Elixirs.
