collapse expand iconDescription

Amp up your guitar’s tone life with the same premium electric guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats 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.

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

Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel.

For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of electric guitar strings with their original POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone.

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.

Good strings, easy bending

I bought these strings after i broke my G string. I had them for 4 months exact and they're still strong. I would still recommend to clean them even though their in good condition so you don't have to keep changing strings. I use a easy method, just get two Q-tips, dip it in alcohol, and then rub the top and bottom of the strings.

I won't buy this again

Most expensive guitar string set I've bought and I'm not impressed. 4th string got all hairy after a few presentations after 2 weeks of installation. A month and a half later the second string broke. Never had that problem with D'addario. Strings feel great when brand new super comfortable but in the long run not worth it. Not buying this again.

    I wanted to replace the strings on my 97 Tele Special I purchased new. And go to a lower gauge as my wife is beginning to play. The strings have a good feel and bend nicely. #Sweepatakes.

  • Would buy these strings again and again
