Feel what you are playing. Play what you feel. Thanks to our new OPTIWEB® coating, these nickel-plated steel strings for electric guitar offer you the same performance as traditional strings. A clean and precise sound, a natural touch and an ideal grip, all without sacrificing the signature of Elixir® strings, their exceptional sonic life. Compared to our NANOWEB® and POLYWEB® coatings, the OPTIWEB coating offers our most natural and familiar feel. It allows the string to vibrate more freely, while having a firm grip allowing you to keep control of your bends, vibrate and have better sustain.
So choose the same high-end strings, which have been proven to perform well with musicians around the world, for their sonic lifespan far greater than any other string on the market. Unlike other brands, the coating of Elixir strings covers the entire string. Not only the outer surface of the string is protected, but also the hollows between the turns of the net where dirt has a habit of building up and killing the sound like on other brands of guitar strings. Anti-Rust plating on the treble strings ensures extended sonic life throughout the set.
What a joy to spend more time playing instead of wasting time and money changing strings all the time!
For a smoother, more slippery feel, try an electric guitar string set with our POLYWEB coating, which will give you a warmer, rounder sound. At the same time, our NANOWEB coated strings have a brilliant sound and soft touch, offering a good compromise between POLYWEB and OPTIWEB coatings.
The type of rope you choose is of course only a matter of personal taste. In doubt about which sound or touch is best for you? You just have to try them out to find your new favorite string among the Elixir strings.
