Elixir 16052 Nanoweb Acoustic Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze – Light 12-53 – 1 Set
This may sound horrible but every time you play your guitar, tiny bits of you are left to invade the windings to contaminate your strings and kill your tone. Ultimately, your strings will wear out.
Elixir are the only strings that have been designed and engineered to last 3 to 5 times longer than conventional strings. Made with surgical precision, Elixir strings are coated the entire string with a micron thin Nanoweb coating, keeping dirt – and bits of you, out of the windings.
Elixir Nanoweb strings deliver tone that is bright and lively, that our customers tell us lasts longer than any other string, uncoated or coated.
This set of Elixir acoustic guitar strings are made with Phosphor Bronze and offer a tone that is balanced, with a nice warmth and sweet sparkle. The strings are named after the wrap wire material, which is a copper alloy wrap wire with roughly 8% tin and a small amount of Phosphorous.
Elixir Strings with NANOWEB Coating sound and feel more like traditional, uncoated strings. They are bright and lively, and the coating is so thin that you can barely tell it’s there and, when it comes to tone life, there is no comparison. Ultimately, this means you will buy fewer sets of strings, change them less often and trust your guitar is ready to go whenever you are.
Elixir doesn’t just coat the wire but coats the entire string preventing corrosion and contamination from accumulating on the surface and in the space between the windings. Some of our scm customers have described the feel of their Elixir Nanoweb strings akin to flatwounds with reduced string noise and squeak, feeling smoother under the fingers.
The plain steel strings are also treated with Elixir Anti-Rust plating that effectively resist tone-deadening corrosion, giving you a clean feel every time you play your guitar.
Elixir is the #1 acoustic guitar string brand in the US, maybe its time you gave them a try!
