Description

ELECTRIC STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with electric guitar strings trusted by experienced players worldwide. 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.

Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
Played for the same crisp tone as an uncoated string
Natural feel from featherweight OPTIWEB® Technology gives you a firm grip, putting you in control of bends, vibrato and sustain
Exclusive technology protects against common corrosion and rust, sweaty acid hands and high humidity
Long-lasting tone keeps your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you make guitar strings WITH TECHNOLOGY that feel like NATURAL strings?

Yes. Our OPTIWEB Technology Electric Guitar Strings play like a natural string but last like Elixir Strings.

Players that use natural electric guitar strings love their traditional sound and feel but often sacrifice tone life. There’s no need for that compromise any longer with Elixir Electric Strings with OPTIWEB Technology.

The exclusive OPTIWEB Technology not only protects the guitar string from the elements for longer tone life, but also allows the string to vibrate with less damping – for a crisp tone with a firm, natural grip that puts you in control of bends, vibrato and sustain.
