Elixir's Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings have an organic, focused, and vibrant tone. They begin with anti-rust plated plain steel strings that are corrosion resistant. Both the steel core and its phosphor bronze winding are then treated with Elixir's patented Nanoweb thin polymer coating that completely envelops the entire string. This results in a long-lasting, rich tone with more audible high-frequency harmonics. The ultra-thin Nanoweb gives you the natural feel of untreated strings without sacrificing that important protection. This revolutionary product is a great value, as it means a dynamic and lively sound with less frequent string changes and fewer string purchases.

Who Are Elixir Strings?

Elixir Strings started in 1997, when a research team was using coated guitar strings as test subjects in the development of a better push-pull cable. A group of guitarists among them decided to try and create a coating that would protect the strings but still sound great. After much experimentation, testing, and feedback from working players in the field, three coatings for acoustic, electric and bass guitars were created - POLYWEB®, ultra-thin NANOWEB®, and barely-there OPTIWEB®. Though they all produce different tones, they all work toward the same goal - to protect the strings and gaps between windings from gunk and corrosion, allowing for longer playing time without compromising tone or feel. This means less string sets and changes are needed. With Elixir, spend less time fretting about your guitar strings, and more time just simply fretting them to play!
