FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings?

The wrap wire material determines the name of the string. The wrap wire on phosphor bronze strings is constructed of a copper alloy consisting of small amounts of phosphorous and approximately 8% tin.

How long do phosphor bronze strings last?

Well, it depends.

With regular guitar strings, your tone dies quickly. Corrosion attacks the metal surface, and dirt and sweat on your fingers clog the space between the string windings, thus vibration dampens and tone dies.

With Elixir Techn,logy a protective barrier keeps the gunk out and the tone sounding new longer.

With Elixir Guitar Strings, our exclusive technology acts as a physical barrier between the string and its damaging environment. Not only is the outer string surface protected, but more importantly, the gaps between the windings too. This keeps tone killing gunk and corrosion from building up. And that’s why players swear by Elixir Strings over any other strings they’ve tried. They insist our tone sounds new and our strings feel fresh the longest.
