Description

COATED ELECTRIC STRINGS FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with electric guitar strings top-rated by experienced players worldwide. Elixir® Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Anti-Rust Plating protects the plain steel strings ensuring long-lasting tone for the entire set. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s uncoated or coated strings.

  • Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
  • Played for a warm, robust tone
  • Fast, slick feel from POLYWEB® Coating allows you to quickly move around the fretboard with ease
  • Exclusive coating technology protects against common corrosion and rust, sweaty acid hands and high humidity
  • Long-lasting tone keeps your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session

Straight out of the box they are playable. The coating is amazing...doesn't hurt my fingers and most of all the tone is a vibe.
