Elixir Extra Light Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Guitar Strings NANOWEB® Coating
Experience a brighter, longer-lasting acoustic tone with Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze Extra Light Gauge Acoustic Strings. Built for players who want smooth playability without compromising sparkle, these strings pair a phosphor bronze core with Elixir’s legendary Nanoweb coating to deliver a tone that stays lively from first strum to the last note.
Why these strings stand out
- Nanoweb coating that lasts: A protective polymer layer guards against oils, sweat, and humidity while preserving the bright, articulate top-end signature of phosphor bronze.
- Extra light gauge for effortless playing: Designed for easy fretting and quick chord changes, making them a great choice for beginners, players with a lighter touch, or anyone who loves delicate fingerpicking and smooth strumming.
- Clear, balanced tone: Phosphor bronze delivers lively highs, warm mids, and generous sustain—tone that remains expressive even as the coating extends string life.
- Comfortable feel with reduced noise: The Nanoweb coating creates a silky-smooth surface that minimizes squeak and finger noise, helping you concentrate on expression and technique.
- Reliable longevity: Engineered to resist corrosion from sweat and oils, so the strings stay bright longer between changes—ideal for busy practice schedules and live performances.
Who benefits most
Perfect for beginners building finger strength and chord vocabulary, players who predominantly strum or fingerpick, and performers who want dependable tone across long gigs. If you value a bright, articulate acoustic voice that stays fresh longer, these strings are a compelling choice for your standard steel-string guitar.
Tips to maximize tone and life
- Wipe down after playing to remove oils and extend life.
- Clean and store in a cool, dry place to maintain coating integrity.
- Proper tuning and stretching after installation helps settle the strings quickly and stay in tune.
- Regular changes based on playing style and environment keep your guitar sounding its best; lighter players may change more frequently, heavy players less so.
