The Elixir 19007 OPTIWEB strings are designed for guitarists who want to regain the clear and precise tone and the direct feel of a "classic" set, while benefiting from the longevity that Elixir is known for. The OPTIWEB coating is designed to allow the string to vibrate more freely, while maintaining a firm grip to keep control over bends, vibratos, and fast attacks, with more stable sustain over time.
Unlike coatings limited to the surface, Elixir's protection also extends to areas where dirt usually accumulates, between the windings of the wrap, which helps preserve brightness and clarity of playing. The roundwound strings also benefit from an Anti-Rust plating, ensuring consistent lifespan across the entire set-ideal if you play frequently (studio, stage, rehearsals) or if your strings oxidize quickly.
Within the Elixir range, OPTIWEB is positioned as the coating with the most natural and familiar feel, compared to NANOWEB and POLYWEB. It's up to you to choose according to your preferences for sensation and response under the fingers.
