80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB coating will prolong your tone. They are the same acoustic guitar strings experienced players worldwide trust to ensure their incredible tone lasts longer.

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coat the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface, but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set.

Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

Premium by design, these 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB coating are constructed of 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boasting a crisp, bright tone with an expressive, vibrant presence. Compared to Elixir's original POLYWEB Coating, the ultrathin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. 

For a slicker, gentler feel, try their original POLYWEB Coating on their 80/20 bronze acoustic strings, which also feature a more robust and rounded tone. For more of a balance between bold and bright, Elixir's phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB coating deliver full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity alongside the same traditional feel as these 80/20 bronze strings. 

Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.

Elixer Nanoweb Mediums

I just bought these strings the other day and re-strung my acoustic last night with these strings. I havent re-strung my guitar in a long time, was tired of the dull and ugly feel my strings were giving me. When i put these on last night and simply strummed out one chord. I fell in love all over again. They Feel Beautiful and they Sound beautiful. They give off a wonderful buzz with each note and the sound fills the room. I definitely recommend these strings. Love them and Ill never buy anything different from here on out.

    Compared to the pb, these sounds perfect right out of the pack and have less of that intense chimey-ness that new pbs can have (80/20 are probably what all of your favorite old songs were recorded with anyhow...pb came out in 1974). Hold their tone better than any string i've used.

  • good for me

    Re-learning to play after 40yrs. like the way the strings feel and sound. Because I have a 75% loss of hearing the mellow sounds really, I guess I can feel it,

  • I'm hooked on the elixir nanoweb strings!

    Warm, balanced and extremely long lasting! I first got turned on to these strings when I bought a used guitar that the owner had outfitted with elixir nanowebs...when I restrung it a few weeks later with my go-to brand, I was alarmed at how dead it sounded. These literally "made" the sound that convinced me to buy the guitar. Also—- I play a few gigs a week, and was accustomed to changing my go-to brand every week. I've used the elixir nanowebs for a month on the same schedule. Well worth the extra money.

  • Love Elixir!! Best strings for my playing!
