Elixir 16052 Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb Light 12-53 Acoustic Guitar Strings

General

Country to rock, fingerstyle to flatpicking: the Elixir 16052 Nanoweb string set assures you of a long-lasting sparkly sound. These strings have a special coating that counters corrosion and repels dirt. This makes them last longer and preserves their clear sound for 5 times as long as with conventional uncoated strings. The Elixir 16052 string set is made of steel and phosphor bronze and gives off a complex, rich and brilliant sound. Compared to 80/20 bronze strings, these strings offer a lot more bite and great high tones. This makes them very well suited for dull and dead sounding acoustic guitars and perfect for fingerpicking playing styles.

Why choose Elixir coated strings?

Environmental elements like moisture in the air, or sweat from your finger tips can make metal strings corrode very rapidly. Dirt may also wind up between the windings of the string. This impedes the guitar’s vibration and you will lose the intensity of the frequencies, making the string sound ‘dead’. These Elixir strings have a thin protective coating of fluorinated polymer, that creates a barrier between the string and the environment, without making it feel any different to the guitarist. The result is a string set that retains its clear sound extra long and has an extra long life-span. This will save you time that otherwise would have been spent on swapping guitar strings and it leaves you with more time to play!
