These Elixir Strings capture the sweet spot of that unique phosphor bronze tone. And, players report their tone lasts longer than any other string, uncoated or coated.
provide playability and long lasting tone that top artists worldwide depend upon! These Elixir Strings capture the sweet spot of that unique phosphor bronze tone.
Every time you play your guitar,
tiny bits of you are left to invade the windings to contaminate your strings and kill your tone.
Elixir Strings are the only strings that keep dirt out of the windings by coating the entire string.
Our ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating provides a bright, lively tone that players tell us lasts longer than any other string, uncoated or coated.
This means you buy fewer sets of strings,
change them less often and trust your guitar is ready to go whenever you are.

New Elixir HD Light Strings have a bolder high end and fuller low end with a balanced voice across all strings. This was achieved by blending the plain steel strings of a medium gauge set with the wound strings of a light gauge set, bridged by a custom .025 third string.
The increased tension of the treble strings improves their articulation. The interaction of the tension profile with the soundboard also adds to the harmonic content of the bass strings. The HD Light strings deliver the extended tone life that players have come to expect from all Elixir Strings.
“They are rather lovely strings! – using a 000×1 Martin and comparing to my usual 12’s the HD’s are significantly ‘fuller’. Across all strings there is more ‘punch’ and ‘warmth’. With 12’s when dropping to the dark depths of Bb the strings are so slack the sound is very thin and there is a significant loss of sustain and tone, the HD’s give a bit more continuity across all tunings…” – Chris Woods,
Elixir 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb “HD Light 13-53″Taylor Guitars worked with Elixir Strings to create a custom string set that brings bolder highs and fuller lows to the Grand Concert and Grand Auditorium guitars. Elixir Acoustic Nanoweb strings don’t just sound great; their micro-thin coating keeps them sounding great for a lot longer than average strings. If you want to keep your guitar tone consistently great day in and day out, put on a set of Elixir Acoustic Nanoweb strings. Their coating actually cuts down on unnecessary finger friction. You’ll be amazed at how long they last! Less string changes means having to buy strings less often. Elixir’s 80/20 Bronze strings are made of 80% soft copper and 20% durable zinc, presenting a smoother, mellower tone than Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings. They tend to assume a warmer glowing tone, but the ultra-lightweight Nanoweb™ coating gives lets them move freely, giving their tone some of the gloss associated with more responsive Phosphor Bronze strings.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Gauges: .013, .017, .025, .032, .042, .053
