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.

artists who use
elixir strings
The tone quality, feel, durability and reliability is second to none with Elixir Strings whether I'm on the road, writing or in the studio.
Once you try Elixirs, you can't go back! Elixir Strings have unbeatable durability, an awesome sound and are really comfortable to play.
Elixir Strings inspire me to pick up my guitar more because of that rich tone that we all want out of our acoustic guitars.
I love how fresh and full Elixirs sound. They're the only ones that consistently sound good on all my guitars. They really are the best.
I am very lucky to play instruments made by the world's finest guitar builders and I insist on Elixir Strings every time.
The tone and durability is amazing. I love that I don’t have to change strings so often because Elixir Strings last for a very long time.
Whenever inspiration strikes, I can pick up my guitar knowing my strings are going to be working with me, not against me.
Elixir Strings give me the polished sound I love and a level smooth playability I don't get elsewhere. Plus the long shelf life that I depend on.
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.
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.
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.
