FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are 80/20 Bronze guitar strings?

80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings offer a bright and focused tone. The 80/20 Bronze name is a misnomer in the music industry as the metal wrap wire composition is 80% copper and 20% zinc, which is brass. Bronze is technically an alloy of copper and tin. 

Do 80/20 Bronze REGULAR acoustic guitar strings feel different than 80/20 Bronze WITH NANOWEB TECHNOLOGY guitar strings?

Yes. Players can easily feel the difference between these guitar strings. Regular strings quickly feel crusty or rough. Elixir 80/20 Bronze Strings with NANOWEB Technology deliver a smooth feel that also both enhances playability and reduces finger squeak.  

How long do 80/20 strings last?

Elixir Strings keep your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session. Our exclusive featherweight technology protects your guitar strings from corrosion and gunk build up in the gaps between the windings. Your Elixir Strings retain their out of the box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.  

Regular strings just don’t last as long. There’s nothing standing between the dirt, sweat and grime on your fingertips and the guitar strings. Regular strings corrode and vibration dampens more quickly, leaving your strings dull and rough.
