ELECTRIC STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with electric guitar strings top-rated 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 their bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch
  • Smooth feel from featherweight NANOWEB® Technology enhances playability making bends, vibratos and slides much easier
  • 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
