Description

Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic 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. 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? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. 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 strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor 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. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.

Style: Light (.012-.053) Size: Single Pack
Elixir Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings – The Elixir Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are some of the best strings I’ve used. They offer a rich, warm tone and last significantly longer than most other brands, thanks to their Nanoweb coating. Pros: ✔ Fantastic Tone – The phosphor bronze gives a warm, balanced sound with great clarity. ✔ Long-Lasting – The Nanoweb coating helps prevent dirt and sweat buildup, making them last much longer than regular strings. ✔ Smooth Feel – The coating provides a comfortable playing experience, reducing finger squeak. ✔ Great for Frequent Players – Ideal for those who play often and don’t want to change strings frequently. Cons: ✖ Slightly Expensive – Higher price than some competitors, but worth it for the longevity. ✖ Coated Feel Might Not Be for Everyone – Some players prefer the texture of uncoated strings, but this comes down to personal preference. Final Verdict: If you want acoustic guitar strings that sound great, feel smooth, and last a long time, Elixir Phosphor Bronze is a top-tier choice. The price is higher, but the longevity and tone make them a fantastic investment. – Worth every penny for the tone and durability! ... show more

  • WOW. JUST WOW... I wish i knew about these years ago. I feel like I've been missing out.
Style: Cust. Lt. (.011-.052) Size: Single Pack
I have not played like i played after i got these stringed up in years. Just WOW. They sound beautiful. I payed for like 45 minutes straight, and i was in the zone like it i was on cocaine. They sounded THAT good. I prefer the lighter strings and the ease of playing them, but you loose a bit of the fullness of the sound with a lighter gauge. These 11-52's are pretty comfortable to play, and the nanoweb coating makes them very smooth and easier to play. They are bright, full, round, great sustain, and loud. Awesome Strings. Period. I am VERY Happy with them. I just can not get over the sound. I had a set of Martin 12-56's Phosphor Bronze on my Yamaha Acoustic before and i thought they sounded pretty darn good, but a little stiff and hard to play after playing my electrics most of the time. But these blow them away in sound and play-ability. I'm not saying Martin's are the best, but they're pretty good sounding, especially for the price. These are 3 times the price, but in my opinion, they just about sound 3 times as good. I read that a few people received sets that they believed to be fake. I grabbed my multi-meter and checked them when they arrived and the set i received did not cause the meter to read as "open". They do if you press really hard with the meter leads, but i don't think that is a totally accurate measure of legitimacy. If these are fakes, they are still worth the price, lol. I was hopeful because of the hype behind these, and since they are pretty dang spendy for a single set of strings. I hope that they last as long as they claim to last with the nanoweb coating. I just put them on like 2 hours ago. I had to write a review, just to share. I will totally buy these again, and i will be ordering a set for a buddy of mine. They are so nice that i have to share the beauty. I will update my review if anything changes. I really hope they last 3 times as long as a typically set, being 3 times the price. That is my only complaint. ... show more

I love these strings! I’m an older guitarist with sensitive hands. These strings are awesome, last for a long time ( if your not playing professional or many hours) in my opinion. They sound great! I have a dreadnought guitar and these strings seem to make it sing lol
