Elixir
Elixir Strings revolutionized the guitar string industry by introducing proprietary coating technology, becoming the go-to brand for musicians seeking maximum lifespan and consistent tone. Their unique selling proposition is the ultra-thin, protective polymer coating that shields the windings from corrosion and grime, often lasting three to five times longer than traditional strings. Elixir offers three primary coating types: NANOWEB (the original, ultra-thin coating for a bright, vibrant feel), POLYWEB (a thicker coating for a warmer, "played-in" tone), and OPTIWEB (for electric guitars, designed to feel exactly like traditional non-coated strings). Available in both Phosphor Bronze (for warmth) and 80/20 Bronze (for brightness) acoustic alloys, Elixir is the choice of countless touring professionals who prioritise reliability and tone-for-life performance. Changing your strings less often with Elixir NANOWEB or OPTIWEB sets saves time and ensures your tone is always studio-ready.
