Elixir Acoustic Guitar Strings 16569 (Set of 3 16052), Phosphor Bronze Ultra-Thin Coated (12-53) 6 Strings

Product Specifications – elixir Strings

elixir strings are genuine guitar strings featuring a unique nano-coating layer that provides a smooth, silky touch. This protective coating extends the lifespan of the strings by shielding them from dirt and corrosion. Over prolonged use, the coating may show a characteristic “fuzzing” effect, which is a sign of authentic elixir strings. The coating starts visibly at the ball end of the string, marking the division between coated and uncoated sections, especially noticeable on thicker strings. Strings 1 and 2 are typically uncoated.

Nano-fluoropolymer coating forms a protective barrier between the string and the environment.

The coating covers not only the string surface but also the gaps between windings for enhanced protection.

This results in extended string life, maintaining fresh tone and feel for up to 15 hours of playtime.

The coating reduces amplitude decay, preserving sound quality over time.

Combines modern technology with traditional craftsmanship to deliver rich, full sound and delicate, comfortable touch.

Strings provide warm, bright, and clear tones with varying tension and softness depending on the model.

The nano-coating offers a smooth, silk-like feel that enhances chord transitions and playability.
