Elixir 19052 Light - 10-46 Optiweb Coated Electric Guitar Strings
Meet Elixir 19052 Light (10-46) OptiWeb Coated Electric Guitar Strings — the coating that preserves the feel of an uncoated set while delivering longer-lasting brightness and life. Built for electric guitars, this light-gauge set makes bending and precise picking effortless, so your tone stays expressive from first note to encore.
Why this set stands out
- OPTIWEB coating: a thin, unobtrusive polymer layer that shields against sweat and oils while keeping the string’s natural response and bright top end intact.
- Light gauge 10-46: easy fretting, relaxed tension for smooth bends, and a clear attack that translates well across styles from blues to modern rock.
- Long-lasting brightness: optimized coating chemistry that resists dulling, so your tone remains vibrant through more gigs and sessions.
- Consistent feel and tone: evenly protected wind and core deliver reliable intonation and performance from the first string change to the last.
- Smooth playability: reduced finger squeak and a fast, comfortable feel that players notice in long practice sessions and extended studio takes.
