Elixir® Electric Nickel-Plated Steel Strings with OPTIWEB® Coating provides a natural feel while still giving you the same crisp tone as an uncoated string. Constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire around a hex core, Elixir’s coating technology and Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel protects against common corrosion and debris buildup, ensuring longer tone life for the entire set. With less hassle and expense of frequent string changes, spend more time making music.

Elixir Strings - The longest lasting tone night after night!

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!
