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.
Part Number:
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.
String tension shown below is an approximation. Guitar string tension is based upon a 25.5" guitar scale length and standard tuning.
