Elixir Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings, 12-String, Medium NANOWEB Coating

Nick Gardell December 29, 2011 Acoustic Guitar 0

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response – they sound like strings that have been “played in”. Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings – they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it’s there.
