Description
80/20 BRONZE STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE
Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with what experienced players worldwide say are the best acoustic guitar string on the market. Elixir Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Anti-Rust Plating protects the plain steel strings ensuring long-lasting tone for the entire set. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.
- Acoustic guitar strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire
- Played for a warm and robust tone that sounds “played-in” but still retains a remarkably clear mid-range presence
- Fast, slick feel from POLYWEB® Technology allows you to quickly move around the fretboard with ease
- Exclusive technology protects against common corrosion and rust, sweaty acid hands and high humidity
- Long-lasting tone keeps your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session
