Elixir 16542 3-Pack Electric Nanoweb Light 10-46 (12052)

General

Elixir strings have amassed quite a few fans over the years. Of course, that's not surprising when you consider that Elixir strings last up to 5 times longer than regular guitar strings. Furthermore, the Nanoweb coating doesn't just help protect the strings from corrosion, it also enhances the playing feel. It's no wonder that the Elixir 12052 electric guitar strings are a big hit among guitarists. To make these strings even more appealing, Elixir introduced the 16542 promo pack, which consists of three sets of 12052 strings at a greatly reduced price! Do note, however, that this is a temporary offer, so be sure to order yours quickly!

Why use Elixir coated electric guitar strings?

Regular metal strings are subject to corrosion; the acid that's naturally present on your fingertips and the moisture in the environment speed up that process. Additionally, the oil, sweat and dirt that accumulates between the windings inhibits the strings from vibrating, decreasing the intensity of the frequencies and dulling your sound. Luckily, these Elixir strings have a thin protective fluoropolymer coating that forms a barrier between the string and the outside world. As a result, the strings retain their clarity for a much longer period of time, and they won't wear out as quickly as their uncoated counterparts. You'll waste a lot less time on the frustrating job of changing strings, which means you'll be able to spend more time doing what you love: playing.
